ClearCorrect® Clear Aligners in Kalamazoo

Many people desire straight teeth but don't want the hassle of wearing uncomfortable metal braces. Fortunately, ClearCorrect® clear aligners offer patients a discreet, comfortable, and effective way to achieve a beautifully aligned smile. At the dental office of Mark E. Richardson, DDS, we are pleased to offer this transformative orthodontic treatment. 

What Are ClearCorrect Clear Aligners? 

ClearCorrect is a modern orthodontic system that straightens teeth discreetly using custom-made, clear plastic aligners, avoiding the need for traditional braces with metal wires and brackets.

ClearCorrect clear aligners offer several distinct advantages that make them a preferred choice for patients:

• Discreet Appearance — The clear plastic aligners are nearly invisible, so no one will even know you're wearing them!
• Comfortable Fit — ClearCorrect aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth precisely, ensuring a comfortable and snug fit without the discomfort associated with traditional braces.
• Removable — You can easily remove the aligners for eating, brushing, and flossing, allowing for better oral hygiene and the freedom to enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions.
• Effective Results — ClearCorrect addresses various orthodontic issues, including overcrowding, gaps between teeth, and bite alignment.
• Fewer Appointments — Clear aligners require fewer dentist appointments because they don't require adjustments like traditional metal braces. 

Getting started with ClearCorrect clear aligners is a straightforward process: 

• Initial Consultation — During your first visit, Dr. Mark assesses your orthodontic needs and discuss whether clear aligners are the right solution.
• Personalized Treatment Plan — If ClearCorrect is the chosen treatment, we create a personalized plan that outlines the expected duration of treatment and the number of aligners required.
• Fabrication of Aligners — ClearCorrect aligners are custom-made based on detailed impressions of your teeth, ensuring a perfect fit.
• Wearing the Aligners — You'll wear a series of aligners, progressing through each set as your teeth gradually move into their correct positions.
• Regular Checkups — We schedule regular checkup appointments to monitor your progress and provide you with new aligners as needed.
• Maintaining Your Smile — After completing your ClearCorrect treatment, we may recommend retainers to help maintain your straightened teeth. Plus, Dr. Mark offers a free teeth whitening session after braces! 

Caring for Your ClearCorrect Aligners

Proper care and maintenance of your ClearCorrect aligners are essential for a successful treatment outcome: 

• Regular Cleaning — Rinse your aligners with lukewarm water and gently brush them with a toothbrush to prevent plaque buildup. Avoid using toothpaste, harsh chemicals, or soap with fragrances when cleaning your aligners.  
• Avoid Staining — Remove your aligners before consuming colored beverages or foods to prevent staining. 
• Store Safely — When you're not wearing your aligners, store them in a protective case to avoid damage. 
• Oral Hygiene — Regularly brush and floss your teeth to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment.
