If you’ve heard of ClearCorrect, you likely already know it can treat crooked teeth. The treatment’s biggest claim to fame is how it smoothly and easily straightens smiles! Instead, perhaps the question you have is whether ClearCorrect can fix your bite problems as well. You’d be lucky in that case; your Jersey City dentist is here to provide the answer. Just keep reading to learn about ClearCorrect, how it fixes bite problems, and its other great benefits.
Context: What’s ClearCorrect?
Before anything else, you’ll need to learn ClearCorrect’s basics. You won’t grasp its impact on your bite otherwise.
ClearCorrect relies on clear, plastic trays to straighten a patient’s smile. By applying pressure to crooked teeth, these “aligners” slowly move each tooth to the correct place. All the patient has to do is wear each tray set for 22 hours a day over two weeks. After sticking to that process long enough, they should have a perfectly straight and aligned grin!
Of course, only a dentist (or orthodontist) will know whether you qualify for ClearCorrect. You should thus consult a good one before you make any big commitments.
ClearCorrect Can Fix Bite Problems
Due to how it works, ClearCorrect doesn’t just treat crooked teeth. It’s also able to fix a wide range of bite problems.
Note that misaligned teeth harm your bite’s alignment. Since they don’t fit well together, they cause your jaw’s top and bottom arches to shift into weird places. The result is usually a “bad” bite that leads to poor oral health, TMJ issues, and a lower quality of life.
Thankfully, ClearCorrect adjusts your bite as it aligns your teeth. As treatment gives you a straight smile, it helps your arches fit into the proper positions. That means your trays should address any minor overbite, underbite, or crossbite you might have.
What are ClearCorrect’s Other Benefits?
Aside from fixing your teeth and bite, ClearCorrect has other benefits that make it worth considering. These include:
- Speedy Treatment – While metal braces take two years (or more) to work, ClearCorrect can straighten most smiles in 12-18 months or less.
- High Discretion – ClearCorrect (per its name) uses clear trays, so it doesn’t alter your grin’s look. The treatment won’t force you to deal with a “metal mouth.”
- Removability – Since its trays are removable, ClearCorrect shouldn’t disrupt your meals and teeth cleaning. You can go about those things as usual.
ClearCorrect really can fix bite problems, so don’t hold off on care. See your dental provider soon to learn whether this treatment suits you!
