Everything You Need to Understand About Clear Aligners for Crooked Teeth
Everyone wants a beautiful smile with perfectly straight teeth. But crooked teeth hurt more than just your smile. When you have misaligned teeth, it can affect how you chew your food and even how you speak. Fortunately, Dr. Nathan Simarro and Dr. Ryan Simarro have a solution for you: ClearCorrect clear aligners.
What Are ClearCorrect Aligners?
ClearCorrect aligners are made with smooth and durable BPA-free polyurethane resin material. This material is transparent, so your clear aligners are nearly invisible when you’re wearing them. They’re designed to snugly fit over your teeth to offer a discreet and comfortable alternative to bulky traditional metal braces.
How Do ClearCorrect Aligners Work?
ClearCorrect aligners apply gentle, consistent pressure to shift your teeth gradually into the ideal position. We use advanced computer technology to map out your full treatment plan. Every few weeks, you’ll visit Simarro Brothers Dental Care to switch out your aligners for a new set.
