A person’s mouth is one of the prominent facial features that may create confidence or embarrassment. Straight teeth enhance a smile and boost an individual’s self-image. Although some people may think that crooked teeth only affect individual’s appearance, having crooked teeth may influence health as well. Crooked and misaligned teeth are hard to clean. They are more likely to have plaque and tartar build up, even with regular brushing and flossing. This will lead to tooth decay and gum disease. A mouth with crooked and misaligned teeth may be uncomfortable, causing headaches, unintentional bites to the tongue or cheek, and jaw pain. Chewing food is more effective with properly aligned straight teeth. If you are considering treatment to straighten the teeth for the visual and health benefits, avoid unsightly and uncomfortable braces. Get Clear Correct in Ypsilanti MI instead.
Clear correct is an alternative to traditional braces. Rather than have pieces of metal or plastic glued to the teeth, the patient wears a series of clear plastic aligners. A mouth impression is taken along with photos. This information is used to create an individualized treatment plan and custom fit aligners. Each mouth piece is designed to gradually move the teeth over a period of about 3 weeks. Mild treatment plans will utilize a series of 12 aligners and moderate changes will require a series of 32 aligners. Some discomfort may occur when a new aligner is worn as the mouth adjusts to it. The BPA-free plastic is designed for ultimate comfort and minimum visibility. The duration and cost of treatment will vary depending on the number of aligners needed to reach the desired effect. Most patients will complete treatment within 1 to 2 years. The total cost may range from $2000 to $8000, part of which may be covered by dental insurance.
Some of the great benefits of Clear Correct include eating whatever you want. There are no dietary restrictions. The aligner must be worn for about 22 hours per day. It is removed for eating and teeth cleaning. Flossing and brushing can occur with the usual ease. The teeth will become straighter and aligned for improved appearance and health, while avoiding the unsightly image and discomfort of traditional braces.
