ClearCorrect Clear Aligners Marina del Rey

Invisible orthodontia with clear aligners from ClearCorrect is right here at Elegant Dentistry in Marina del Rey. If you’re not familiar with the name, these aligners are similar to the more highly promoted Invisalign brand, but we believe we’ve chosen the superior type of clear aligner.

If you suffer from misaligned teeth, clear aligners offer the discreet, effective form of teeth straightening that has swept the world of orthodontia. These invisible braces discard bulky metal wires and brackets in favor of transparent and removable aligners. Treatments generally last between 12 and 18 months and do not carry many of the same restrictions associated with traditional braces, while being clinically established^* alternatives to traditional braces. Our dentists are fully trained and qualified to administer the appropriate process for clear aligners. Moreover, the Elegant Dentistry team is here to create an environment that is exceptionally comfortable and welcoming for all kinds of patients.

Clear Aligners vs. Traditional Braces

The biggest difference between clear aligners and traditional options is, obviously, related to their visibility or lack thereof. Braces can be bulky and all too conspicuous, while clear aligners are virtually unnoticeable. However, there are other advantages clear aligners have over standard braces.

For one thing, because patients can remove their aligners whenever they eat or drink; there is no need to restrict most types of foods for fear of damaging or breaking brackets and wires. Patients should be careful to ensure that no food particles are trapped against their teeth, but standard high-quality dental hygiene should be sufficient.

Once patients have completed a treatment period for their current aligners, they return to our Marina del Rey office to switch to a new one. This process generally repeats every two to five weeks and visits are usually quick. On the other hand, when standard metal or plastic braces are tightened, patients agree that it isn’t the most pleasant of experiences.

Summary: Advantages Over Traditional Braces

• Limited or no food restrictions.
• Patients can feel confident with nearly invisible aligners.
• Clear aligners involve very little discomfort.
• Treatment periods tend to be shorter than metal braces, which generally require between 18-36 months,
