ClearCorrect Aligners in Saint Paul

Everyone wants to have straight, beautiful teeth when they laugh, socialize with friends or business partners, or pose for photos. At Highgrove Dental Care, we offer an innovative orthodontic system called ClearCorrect in St. Paul, MN. These aligners act as invisible, removable braces our patients can use to gradually move their teeth into the desired position. 

How Straight Teeth Can Improve Your Oral Health

Crooked or misaligned teeth can make a person feel embarrassed and self-conscious, but they can also threaten one's oral health. If teeth do not align properly, it can create what is called malocclusion.

The percentage of American adults who are expected to have malocclusion is as high as 75 percent. If left untreated, uneven bites and malocclusions can increase the risk of enamel wear, chips and breaks, cavities, gum disease, and more. Fortunately, ClearCorrect can realign your teeth and ultimately result in a healthier mouth.

ClearCorrect is a series of clear, plastic aligners patients for a predetermined length of time. ClearCorrect fixes the following orthodontic issues:

• Bite misalignment, including overbite, underbite, and crossbite
• Crooked, overlapping, and twisted teeth
• Uneven spacing between teeth and gaps

Patients can remove their aligners to eat and clean their teeth, and we advise patients to wear their aligners for 20 to 22 hours each day for optimal results. Because you can easily remove the aligners, patients can enjoy their favorite meals and practice hassle-free oral hygiene.

The smooth and snug aligners do not slip or move, nor do they irritate the mouth's soft tissues like metal wires and brackets often do.

Every two weeks, you wear the next aligner in the sequence until you complete your treatment. Over time, you will notice your teeth moving into a straighter, more desirable position. When you finish treatment, Dr. Jadilyn Grittner or Dr. John Grittner will create a custom retainer to maintain your newly aligned smile.

Is ClearCorrect in St. Paul Right for You?

First, you need to schedule a consultation with your St. Paul dentist. During this appointment, either Dr. John Grittner or Dr. Jadilyn Nguyen Grittner will talk with you about your smile goals, oral health needs, and expectations. We will also discuss the cost and treatment timeline, ranging from several months to two years, depending on your needs. Your dentist then examines your teeth and takes comprehensive digital X-rays.

If ClearCorrect can help you achieve your smile goals, we take digital impressions of your mouth. Every patient has unique teeth, and digital impressions map the contours of your mouth and dentition. We then send the scans to a ClearCorrect laboratory, where a specialist fabricates your clear, customized aligners.

Drs. Grittner may recommend an alternative treatment to better fit your needs if ClearCorrect is not suitable for you. Ultimately, our goal is to develop a treatment plan that best suits your oral health profile and surpasses your aesthetic expectations. With our help, your best smile is within reach!

Having a beautiful smile will boost your confidence and ensure the longevity of your teeth and gums. In addition, straight teeth are often healthier because there is a lower risk of dental wear, decay, and gum disease.

Many patients value the comfortability and secrecy ClearCorrect offers, not to mention the exceptional results!

Your St. Paul dentist offers ClearCorrect to discreetly straighten crooked teeth and align your bite without metal wires and brackets. If you want straighter teeth and a healthier smile, the first step is to schedule your free orthodontic consultation at our Highland Park dental office.
