ClearCorrect in Mesa, AZ

Welcome to Tru-Value Dental, where we’re excited to offer ClearCorrect, a modern solution for straightening teeth, right here in Mesa, Arizona. Under the expert care of Dr. Steven Nguyen, we’re committed to providing the best orthodontic care to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

What Is ClearCorrect?

ClearCorrect is an innovative orthodontic treatment that uses multiple sets of clear, custom-made, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth. It’s an excellent option for those looking for a less noticeable alternative to traditional braces.

Is ClearCorrect Better Than Braces?

While both ClearCorrect and traditional braces are effective in straightening teeth, ClearCorrect offers several advantages:

  • Aesthetics: The aligners are virtually invisible, letting you smile through the treatment.
  • Comfort: No metal brackets or wires that will rub or poke at the inside of your mouth.
  • Convenience: Aligners are removable for eating and cleaning, so you won’t have to worry about restricted foods.

The best choice depends on individual needs and preferences, which Dr. Nguyen can discuss with you.

Alternatives to ClearCorrect

Besides ClearCorrect, there are other orthodontic treatments available, such as traditional metal braces and other clear aligner systems. We’ll help you explore all options to find the one that suits you best.

What Is the Process for Getting ClearCorrect?

Getting started with ClearCorrect at Tru-Value Dental involves a few key steps:

  1. Initial Consultation: Discuss your goals and assess your suitability for ClearCorrect.
  2. Custom Treatment Plan: Dr. Nguyen will develop a personalized plan using 3D imaging technology.
  3. Receiving Your Aligners: You’ll receive a series of aligners to wear in succession and specific instructions from Dr. Nguyen about when to switch to the next sets.
  4. Regular Check-Ins: Periodic appointments to monitor progress and make sure things are moving properly and safely.

How Long Do I Need to Wear ClearCorrect Retainers?

After completing the ClearCorrect treatment, you’ll need to wear retainers to maintain your new smile. The duration varies per individual, but typically, retainers are worn full-time for a few months, then nightly. These retainers are important to maintaining the new smile you’ve worked hard to achieve, so we’ll give clear instructions on how long and when to wear them.

ClearCorrect FAQs

How often should I wear my aligners?

Aligners should be worn for 22 hours a day for the best results. Removing them for meals and cleaning is important, but be sure to put them back on right away!

Regular cleaning with a soft brush and lukewarm water is recommended. Dr. Nguyen and his team will show you techniques to safely and thoroughly clean the aligners. Also, it’s important to brush your teeth before putting your aligners back on after a meal so you can get food debris cleared away.

Some people might notice a slight adjustment period, but it shouldn’t take long to adjust and learn how to speak clearly with your aligners.

We understand you might be eager to get your dream smile, but we do not recommend switching your aligners early. Doing so can cause permanent damage to your teeth, roots, and gums. Some of the risks include tooth shrinkage and damaged roots, which can lead to loose teeth.
