ClearCorrect® Braces
A Clear Path to a Straighter Smile
Clear dental aligners are a highly popular, modern alternative to traditional metal braces. This innovative system uses a series of custom-made, nearly invisible trays to gently and progressively nudge your teeth into their ideal positions. Misaligned teeth (malocclusions) are more than just a cosmetic concern; they can lead to jaw strain and a higher risk of dental problems. ClearCorrect® allows you to subtly correct these issues, boosting your self-esteem and supporting your long-term oral health without changing your appearance.
Most adults and teenagers with mild to moderate teeth crowding or spacing issues are excellent candidates for this treatment. Because growing mouths are still developing, ClearCorrect® is generally not recommended for younger children. To get started, your dentist will take precise measurements of your mouth to create a personalized 3D digital model, which serves as the blueprint for your custom aligner sets.
Key Tips for Daily Life & Care
To get the absolute best results from your ClearCorrect® journey, there are a few important guidelines and daily habits to keep in mind:
Commit to Wearing Them
Because the aligners are removable, it can be tempting to leave them out. However, they can only do their job if they stay in your mouth for the recommended amount of time each day.
Watch What You Drink
Always take caution when drinking liquids other than plain water while wearing your trays. Sugary or acidic beverages like soda, coffee, and alcohol can get trapped beneath the plastic, potentially leading to cavities and weakened enamel.
Keep Your Aligners Sparkling
Clean your trays daily by gently brushing the inside and outside with a soft toothbrush and a mild antibacterial soap or specialized cleaning solution. Always brush and floss your teeth thoroughly before putting the aligners back in to keep food particles from staining the plastic or damaging your teeth.
Consider the Investment
Invisible aligners can sometimes be more expensive than traditional braces, though the exact cost varies from person to person. Our team is always here to help you navigate your expected costs and review your insurance coverage.
Retainers
After investing time and effort into your orthodontic treatment, custom-made retainers from Burba Dental Partners in Salem, MA, provide the essential support you need to preserve your beautiful results and maintain long-term oral health. You can choose between removable retainers, which are made of clear plastic and can be easily popped out for eating and cleaning, or fixed retainers, which are permanently bonded to the back of your teeth for continuous, worry-free alignment. Whichever option you choose, opting for a custom-made appliance over a store-bought version ensures a perfectly tailored fit, enhanced durability, and maximum effectiveness against orthodontic relapse.
To keep your custom retainer in top condition, simply clean it regularly with cool water and a gentle toothbrush, store it safely in its protective case, and avoid exposing it to warping heat. It is also highly recommended to bring your retainer to your routine dental check-ups so our team can ensure it is still fitting comfortably and functioning exactly as it should.
