Beyond Beauty: Other Benefits of ClearCorrect Aligners

Happy, smiling woman holding clear alignerPeople with dental misalignment often gravitate toward clear aligners, such as ClearCorrect, because they offer a discreet appearance and can enhance the overall appearance of a smile. But did you know that the benefits of ClearCorrect aligners go far beyond aesthetics? Here are some advantages you can expect to experience when you choose this treatment method:

Easy Oral Hygiene

Oral hygiene is absolutely essential for a healthy mouth and a healthy body. With traditional metal braces, it takes a bit of effort to thoroughly clean your teeth. ClearCorrect aligners, on the other hand, are easy to remove. You can brush and floss using normal techniques and easily maintain a fresh smile throughout your entire treatment period.

After you finish orthodontic treatment, oral hygiene may be simpler than ever before because straight, well-aligned teeth are easier to clean than crooked, crowded teeth.

No Dietary Restrictions

A common complaint about traditional braces is that they limit the types of foods you can enjoy. ClearCorrect is removable, so you can take your aligners out at mealtimes, eat what you want, and simply replace your aligners afterward.

Following ClearCorrect treatment, improved jaw and tooth alignment may make it possible for you to easily chew foods that were previously difficult for you to enjoy.

Improved Overall Health

Dental health and overall health are strongly connected. When you decide to improve your smile via ClearCorrect treatment, your head-to-toe wellness may also benefit in a number of ways:

  • Improved digestion.
  • A lower risk of oral infections that could spread throughout the body.
  • A reduced risk of tooth loss, which is associated with a shortened life expectancy.
  • Improved emotional health due to a more confident smile.

Fewer Aches and Pains

If you have a misaligned bite, it can cause extra stress for your jaw joints, the surrounding facial muscles, your neck, your shoulders, and your back! As a result, you may be more prone to aches and pains throughout your body. Addressing bite issues with ClearCorrect has the potential to reduce such issues.

Clearer, Easier Speech

Crooked teeth may interfere with your ability to enunciate certain sounds. Following orthodontic treatment, you may find that it is easier for you to communicate with clarity and confidence. (Some people develop a sight lisp when they first start using clear aligners, but that is usually a temporary issue.)

The benefits of ClearCorrect go far beyond aesthetics! Talk to your dentist to discover how treatment may be able to help you personally.
