At Accrington Road Dental Centre we use Clearstep to treat a variety of orthodontic concerns including teeth which are crooked, crowded or with gaps – but because it is clear, removable and comfortable, it won’t interfere with your life. Because Clearstep is nearly invisible, almost no-one can tell you are wearing Clearstep, so you can smile more during as well as after your treatment. You can remove Clearstep so you can eat and drink what you like, and studies have shown that it can be better for your dental hygiene during treatment as well! With no metal or sharp edges, Clearstep is comfortable to wear and does not cause allergies. How does Clearstep work? Clearstep treatment starts with a dental examination by our experienced Clearstep dentist. He will examine your teeth and develop a computer model of your treatment. Together you can review and agree on your treatment plan.
Clearstep will then make a series of custom made aligners that will only fit you. Each aligner is slightly different, moving your teeth gradually into the desired position. You wear each aligner for two weeks, before moving on to the next in the series.
We will see you for a progress review every four to six weeks and you will then receive your new aligners. Each Aligner will move your teeth little by little, week by week, until they reach the desired position.
Treatment length will vary depending on your case, but the average Clearstep treatment is twelve to eighteen months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30 aligners. Finally all that remains is for you to show off your beautiful new smile!
What are the advantages of Clearstep treatment? Predictable treatment, as Clearstep® is planned in advance, we can more accurately predict when your treatment will be finished. Cosmetically superior to normal braces due to near invisibility of Clearstep braces. So no more embarrassing metal wires. No metal allergies due to brackets and wires. Greater treatment visibility and easier planning with our treatment software. Custom manufacture means a tailored match to your teeth, for reduced irritation and fewer scratches. Clearstep is Removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Brushing and Flossing your teeth are not a problem.
