Braces are extremely reliable and are often a perfect\nsolution for creating a straighter smile. However, your teen likely will not be\nlooking forward to wearing them due to worries about their appearance as well\nas concerns about their personal comfort. As a result, you\u2019ll probably want to\nlook for an alternative treatment, and luckily, depending on the kind of\ncorrections needed, your orthodontist in\nKittanning<\/a> might be able to offer one. Here are 4 benefits your child might\nenjoy if they receive ClearCorrect in the place of metal brackets and wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. ClearCorrect Does Not Stand Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you might expect from the name, one of the key appeals of\nClearCorrect is the effect \u2013 or lack thereof \u2013 they have on the appearance of\nyour teen\u2019s smile. The treatment uses a series of clear plastic aligners that,\nwhen placed on the teeth, are virtually invisible. Your teen can smile and\nlaugh freely without worrying that their peers will notice anything unusual in\ntheir mouths. For this reason, ClearCorrect is often recommended for patients\nthat are particularly self-conscious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. ClearCorrect is Much More Comfortable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The metal brackets and wires that make up traditional braces\ncan end up irritating the lips and cheeks, making them highly uncomfortable for\nyour teen (especially at the beginning of the treatment). ClearCorrect\naligners, on the other hand, are made from a smooth plastic that won\u2019t bother\nyour teen\u2019s soft oral tissues. They\u2019re also designed so that they fit perfectly\non the teeth; as a result, your teen will enjoy a much higher level of comfort.\n(Keep in mind that they\u2019ll still likely experience some tenderness or\nsensitivity for the first few days after first receiving a new aligner.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. ClearCorrect is More Convenient<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many teens who wear braces complain about not getting to eat\nwhatever they want, and they often become frustrated while trying to brush or\nfloss. As such, they\u2019re likely to be very excited to learn the ClearCorrect is\nremovable. They\u2019ll be able to enjoy all their favorite foods and perform a\nnormal oral hygiene routine. Just make sure they don\u2019t forget to put the\naligner back in when they\u2019re done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. ClearCorrect Has a Shorter Treatment Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you may be aware, metal braces are normally worn for quite\na while. It\u2019s not unheard of for the treatment to last 2 or even 3 years. But\nif your teen is eligible for ClearCorrect, you cam expect the treatment to last\nfor about 8 to 18 months. Their healthier, more attractive smile will be ready\nthat much sooner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ClearCorrect isn\u2019t available in every case, but the various\nbenefits it offers definitely makes it an option worth pursuing if possible. Make\nan appointment with your orthodontist or dentist in Kittanning today to learn if\nyour teen might be a candidate for this image-friendly orthodontic treatment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
