While that was the case decades ago, this is a new era in orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry. You now have two convenient routes available: Invisalign and ClearCorrect. What\u2019s the difference between these procedures, and which one is better suited for your smile needs? Continue reading to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Invisalign Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Invisalign method of bite correction uses BPA-free clear-plastic aligners to move your teeth to their correct position. You\u2019ll start by meeting with a dentist for a consultation, at which time your oral health and the current condition of your teeth will be assessed. Additionally, digital X-rays will be taken and used to formulate a treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dentist will send a customized and detailed smile plan to a certified Invisalign lab that will fabricate your aligners. Here are the basic guidelines for how to get the maximum results from your treatment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You\u2019ll wear each set of trays for two weeks and then exchange them for the next set in the series.<\/li><li>The trays will need to be worn for at least 20-22 hours a day to ensure you maintain your progress.<\/li><li>The trays should be removed before eating food or drinking any liquid other than water.<\/li><li>You\u2019ll need to perform oral hygiene (brushing and flossing) at least two times a day to control bacteria growth and maintain excellent oral health.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How ClearCorrect Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In essence, ClearCorrect is quite similar to Invisalign. Both procedures use clear aligner trays and require patients to wear them for the majority of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are some differences. ClearCorrect aligners are thinner than Invisalign, which affects their durability and comfortability. Additionally, ClearCorrect aligners are made from a different type of plastic, which is another factor that should be taken into consideration when making your final decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important factor to consider is the cost. Invisalign trends higher than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smiledmd.com\/clear-correct.html\">ClearCorrect<\/a>. Thus, if you\u2019re more budget sensitive, the latter may be the better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start with a Consultation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you have an idea of what each procedure has to offer, you shouldn\u2019t rely on what you\u2019ve learned here to make a final decision. Start by visiting a local cosmetic dentist for a consultation. After assessing the condition of your smile, he or she can make a recommendation as to which direction you should take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the proper planning and execution, you can soon be staring in the mirror at a brand-new and amazing smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Gretchen Anjomi earned her dental degree from the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine.
