Three Reasons to Choose ClearCorrect

Straight teeth not only look more attractive, but a normal, healthy bite can mean so much more! In fact, correcting misaligned or crowded teeth can help prevent decay and gum disease. Traditional straightening devices have significant drawbacks and alternatives like ClearCorrect have become a more popular choice for older teens and adults.

ClearCorrect Aligners

ClearCorrect aligners are an alternativesolution to metal braces for straightening teeth. Made in the U.S. A., ClearCorrect offers patients the ability to get on with their normal daily activities while invisibly correcting their smile. Patients at the Escondido office of the Marler Campbell Dental Group are offered ClearCorrect as an orthodontic solution to adjusting crooked and crowded smiles.

Why Choose ClearCorrect?

ClearCorrect can address crowding, gaps and spaces, over-bites and under-bites, as well as crooked and slightly rotated teeth.

1.   Appearance – The name says it all! ClearCorrect are clear plastic aligners that realign the teeth without the added discomfort of being visible. No need to hide bulky metal hardware and wires, which often cause discomfort; ClearCorrect aligners are virtually invisible to others, and patients feel less self-conscious. ClearCorrect is ideal for teenagers and adults who are concerned with the appearance of traditional braces.

2.   Convenience – with ClearCorrect braces, patients enjoy quality dental care without sacrificing their normal daily activities. Unlike traditional braces, aligners are removable, which means patients can eat all the foods they would normally without restrictions. And after eating, patients can brush and floss normally without navigating brackets, and wires, to remove food buildup and other detritus. The aligners are easily fitted, and new sets replace the old every six weeks or so. The plastic allows for greater comfort, and patients avoid cuts to the gum and mouth as happens with traditional devices.

3.   Long-lasting Results – ClearCorrect helps patients avoid long-term health problems. After treatment, patients usually discover an improvement in the way their teeth function – not to mention less food getting caught between their teeth! This is great news for their health and well-being, since food build up results in more plaque, which subsequently leads to a greater incident of infection and gum disease. Correcting overcrowding also means teeth enjoy the proper amount of bone support, and less potential damage to neighboring teeth and bone. ClearCorrect offers patients a straighter, healthier smile that can last them a lifetime!

Benefits to Routine Dental Care

Many of us are familiar with the idea of establishing proper dental hygiene habits – brushing, flossing and regular checkups – are necessary to prevent gum disease and tooth decay. But what does that actually mean, and is it really that important?

Well, the short answer is yes, it is important. But not just for the reasons mentioned. Healthy teeth and gums are definitely vital to our oral well-being, but routine dental care offers more than just avoiding rotten teeth and cavities. It might just save your life.

Preventative Care

Nowadays, many dentists emphasize the importance of preventative care to patients of all ages. That is, dental care that prevents the development and spread of disease and disease-causing bacteria. Brushing and flossing twice daily are at the top of the list of preventative measures, which can also include antibacterial mouthwashes and rinses. Regular checkups usually involve an oral examination during which your dentists examines the mouth, teeth and gums, looking for trauma, inflammation, broken teeth, or damage to existing fillings. Dental x-rays are taken so that any internal issues can be identified.

More than Just Teeth

Regular dental care means whole-body wellness. Much research has been done surrounding the link between dental health and medical issues, such as diabetes and heart disease.

Many conditions can be identified through an oral examination. Besides tooth and gum problems, your dentist is also looking for signs of other illnesses including diabetes and cancer.

Bacteria from untreated gum discolored can spread infection to other parts of your body. Gum disease can create additional issues for people with diabetes as severe periodontal disease can lead to increased blood sugar levels making diabetes much harder to control. Pregnant women are susceptible to effects of gum disease and infection. Babies born to women with periodontal disease have an increased chance to be born too early or smaller in size.

Prevention saves money!

Routine dental care can also be better for your wallet! Preventative care and dental checkups can help prevent worse conditions from developing, whereupon more intrusive, complex and expensive treatments are required. Avoiding costly deep cleanings, or tooth replacement is a benefit few of us can literally not afford to ignore!

The Escondido dental practice of Dr. Marler and Dr. Campbell recommends that patients should visit their dentist every six months for a checkup. Contact us today to find out how we can help you attain the best in overall health and well-being or schedule your next appointment.
