Did you know that 74% of U.S. adults have crooked teeth? While initially undergoing a teeth-straightening treatment may seem like a purely cosmetic choice, straight teeth can actually benefit your oral health by preventing gum disease and tooth decay! Plus, thanks to modern technology and innovations in dentistry, patients today don’t have to go through “metal mouth” to achieve the smile of their dreams. In fact, summer is the perfect time to opt for ClearCorrect, which can fix misaligned teeth without the hassle of brackets, wires, headgear, and rubber bands. Read on for four benefits of starting ClearCorrect this summer.
Say Goodbye to Pesky Food Restrictions
With traditional braces, metal wires and brackets are used to guide your teeth into the desired location. While this approach to teeth-straightening is highly effective, it requires patients to abide by a long list of food restrictions to preserve the integrity of their braces. Therefore, patients need to find substitutes for some of their favorite summer treats, like taffy and popcorn. However, ClearCorrect treatment allows patients to indulge in any food of their choice! Since the trays are removable, patients can enjoy a life free of food restrictions as long as they don’t eat with the trays in.
Virtually Invisible Treatment
With a camera in our back pocket and a desire to document our lives on social media, people today are aware of their appearance now more than ever. Whether you have the opportunity to travel this summer or are laying low in your hometown, metal braces can negatively impact your self-confidence and your pictures. Fortunately, ClearCorrect provides patients with virtually invisible treatment that is undetectable in sightseeing photos, afternoons by the pool, and any summer plans you have!
Unparalleled Comfort
While every teeth-straightening solution is prone to some soreness, ClearCorrect provides patients with superior comfort during treatment. After all, the trays bypass the need for hard brackets and pesky wires, which can rub against your cheeks and gums and cause irritation. Plus, ClearCorrect treatment is created with your teeth in mind and gently applies pressure to move them into the desired position. That way, you can enjoy all the fun activities summer has to offer without the hassle of traditional braces.
Achieve Your Smile Goals by This Time Next Year
Did you know that traditional braces can take anywhere between 18 months and three years to deliver results? Fortunately, patients can achieve their smile goals with ClearCorrect in an average of 12 months. So, if you start today you can have a picture-perfect smile by this time next year!
If your misaligned or crooked teeth are negatively impacting your self-confidence and summer plans, then it is time to speak with your dental team about ClearCorrect. That way, you can get the treatment you need with the hassle-free approach you have always wanted!
