Common Bite Problems That ClearCorrect Treatment Can Fix
When teens or adults consider braces, the one main drawback nearly everybody brings up is the aesthetic impact on their smile. The thought of having a mouthful of unattractive metal for a long period is discouraging, especially for adults. ClearCorrect, as offered at Scenic Bluffs Dental in Prescott, Wisconsin, is an alternative to braces which is nearly invisible and can align and straighten teeth quickly and comfortably without any metal. Drs. Jay Feuillerat and Samantha Clare would love to share more information about the type of bite problems ClearCorrect aligners can fix.
The ClearCorrect treatment utilizes a series of personalized clear aligner trays, which you progress through for the duration of your treatment. Every few weeks, you will move to the next aligner. One of the most loved features of the ClearCorrect treatment is that patients can remove the aligners when eating, drinking, and brushing their teeth. This allows a very satisfying experience for those looking to correct their bite problems. Let us look at what ClearCorrect can fix.
What Bite Problems Can ClearCorrect Fix?
ClearCorrect is designed to fix similar dental issues that traditional metal braces correct. The most significant difference is that ClearCorrect trays are plastic, comfortable, and nearly invisible to the naked eye. Some of the most commonly fixed problems by ClearCorrect include:
- Overcrowding – When there is insufficient room in your mouth for your teeth to align correctly, overcrowding can occur. When teeth are overcrowded, the risk of gum disease and tooth decay increases.
- Tooth Gaps – Gaps between teeth can occur when teeth are missing or when the jawbone continues to grow abnormally.
- Crossbite – When you have teeth that bite inside the lower teeth, it is called a crossbite. This is a widespread dental problem and can be a cause of uneven wear or bone erosion.
- Overbite – When the upper teeth project further than the lower teeth, it is called an overbite. Dental health problems, including jaw pain and TMJ, can occur when not corrected.
- Underbite – This is the inverse of an overbite when the lower teeth project further than the upper teeth. As with an overbite, jaw pain and TMJ disorder can occur over time.
