Invisalign - Clear Correct Braces For Adults In Covina

Invisalign or Clear Correct Braces For Adults In CovinaHave you heard about clear braces and wondered exactly how they work? Millions of adults have used orthodontic aligner therapy with great results. Comfort, convenience, and relatively short treatment times all contribute to their popularity at our Covina dental office.

We know how important it is for you to enjoy a flawless smile that makes you feel good about yourself and the way you look. Both Invisalign and Clear Correct invisible braces can help you achieve a perfectly aligned, healthy smile.

Treatment is similar using either Invisalign or Clear Correct, and Conva dentist Dr. Michael C Huang is a trained, certified provider of both types of aligner therapy. He will discuss the advantages of both to help you make an informed decision about which best fits your timeline, lifestyle, and budget.

Invisalign And Clear Correct - Discreet and Comfortable

With clear aligners you can forget about cumbersome brackets and wires that cause irritation inside the mouth. Both Invisalign and Clear Correct systems use smooth plastic aligner trays that are far more comfortable than traditional braces. These aligners not only eliminate the discomfort of traditional braces, but they  also are virtually invisible. Most people will not even notice that you’re wearing them.

You may wonder how simple plastic trays can be so effective for straightening your teeth. Once we decide whether Invisalign or Clear Correct is the right choice for you, a series of custom-made clear plastic trays is created. You will change to a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks. This process gradually and gently moves your teeth into place based on their precise movement as determined by Dr. Huang.

Adult Braces - Treatment That Fits Your Lifestyle

Unlike traditional braces, clear aligner trays are completely removable. It is recommended that you wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. This means that they can be taken out for eating so you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods.

You can also remove them for brushing and flossing so you can maintain your normal oral hygiene routine. The aligners are easily cleaned by brushing and rinsing with lukewarm water. Play contact sports? The aligners can be removed so you can wear a mouth guard as you normally would for protection.

Straight Teeth in Months, Not Years

Each patient is unique and so are their specific treatment needs. In general, both Invisalign and Clear Correct produce results in about a year for adults. Treatment time for teens and young adults is comparable to that of traditional braces.

Unlike bracket-and-wire braces, though, the results are immediately visible each time you move to the next set of trays. You will stay motivated because you’ll see progress consistently as you move through treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

We see this problem frequently at our Covina dental office. The change in the alignment of your teeth has most likely occurred because you did not wear your retainer after orthodontic treatment was complete.

It’s understandable that you didn’t want to continue to wear the retainer as prescribed by your dentist. After all, you spent a lot of time dealing with braces, and you were probably anxious to be done with the process.

What most people don’t realize, though, is that your teeth are always moving slightly, whether you’ve had braces or not. The purpose of a retainer after orthodontic treatment is to make sure that the shifting of your teeth does not allow your teeth to drift out of alignment.

It is imperative that after orthodontic treatment you wear a fixed or removable retainer to prevent relapse and keep your teeth in alignment.  Misaligned teeth can cause two major problems:  

  1. Proper oral hygiene becomes difficult and may allow periodontal disease to develop.
  2. Your bite will change, which can lead to clenching and/or grinding of teeth.

If your teeth have shifted, please contact our Covina dental office, and we can arrange a consultation. Dr. Huang offers Invisalign and Clear Correct aligner therapy to fix your misaligned teeth and give you back the smile you want.
