ClearCorrect Braces

ClearCorrect Braces

ClearCorrect® braces are an alternative to both traditional braces and Invisalign®.  We provide this solution for straightening teeth discretely. If you want to improve your appearance, we invite you to call Dr. Margarita Degtyareva at (718) 743-0299  if you live in Brooklyn. If you live in Paramus NJ, call Dr. Olga Degtyareva at Paramus Dental Arts at (201) 845-5533 and schedule a consultation to learn how this treatment option can work for you.

What is ClearCorrect®?

Instead of relying on metal brackets and wires to move teeth, ClearCorrect® braces use a series of clear aligners to move teeth into place. The aligners are made of a clear and comfortable plastic that looks similar to a full retainer. By taking care of them and refraining from scratching their surface, aligners will remain clear and virtually invisible when worn. At Always Beautiful Smile and Paramus Dental Arts, we can show you how to keep your aligners in perfect condition during the treatment process.

The aligners are created using an impression of your teeth and gums. Once received, the lab will create a series of aligners that start with the current position of your teeth and slowly move them until they are perfectly straight. A patient will wear each aligner for about four to six weeks. Afterward, the patient will replace the old aligner with the next one in the series. The aligners place pressure on specific teeth to gradually move the teeth for a more comfortable experience. By wearing all of the aligners in the series, your teeth will move from crooked to perfectly straight.

The aligners are given to you at the beginning of the procedure so that you do not have to visit our dentists’ office every time that you need to switch them out. This allows you to spend less time in the dental chair than you would when wearing traditional metal braces.

Traditional Braces vs. ClearCorrect®

Simultaneously, metal braces are difficult to keep clean as food can become stuck between the brackets, requiring a special floss to remove the bits of food. At Always Beautiful Smile and Paramus Dental Arts, we can help patients receive the necessary treatment without having to drastically change their diet or skip out on some of their favorite treats when wearing braces. While only temporary, this can be inconvenient and at times, frustrating. Given the tendency for food to become stuck, those wearing braces, also need to spend more time brushing and flossing throughout the day.

Another advantage of ClearCorrect® braces over traditional ones is that patients can remove the aligners while playing sports, a musical instrument or singing in the choir. As a dentist, we recommend that athletes wear a mouth guard during practice or a game. With braces or other teeth-straightening products, this can be an issue. With ClearCorrect®, patients can remove the aligners to wear the mouth guard. If you play sports on a regular basis we invite you to schedule a consultation, in our Brooklyn office, (718) 743-0299  or our Paramus office, (201) 845-5533 to see how much easier it is to continue wearing a mouth guard when using ClearCorrect® to straighten your teeth.
