CLEARPATH ALIGNERS


From clearpath aligners

MOST OF THE ADULT PATIENTS WHO WANT BRACES WANT TO BE DISCREET OF THEIR ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT(BRACES).WITH GAINING POPULARITY WITH ADULT ORTHODONTICS USE OF ALIGNERS FOR CORRECTION OF TEETH IS INCREASING.

ClearPath Aligners are removable medical grade plastic appliances which patient wears instead of brackets and wires to correct malocclusion. Dental aligners are a modern alternative to braces, teeth that are in need of straightening.

A Clear change to the concept of Adult Orthodontic treatment without using conventional methods of wires and brackets. Adults wouldn't have asked for a better choice to correct their malocclusion without social inhibitions.

HOW DOES CLEARPATH ALIGNERS WORK?


The key to the CLEARPATH ALIGNERS system is that it is designed entirely with the customer in mind. Through a combination of WELL DEFINED IMPRESSION OF UPPER AND LOWER TEETH, X-rays and photography, your dentist will build up a ‘photofit’ of your teeth and jaw structure. He then transfers these images to the CLEARPATH ALIGNERS laboratory where a highly-trained technician, working closely with your dentist, will develop a computer-generated model of how you want your teeth and your smile to look. By using advanced computer packages, they can evaluate different scenarios and ensure that your teeth are being moved in the most efficient way, to the ideal positions.

Therefore, you can see before the treatment begins where you teeth will move to and how your smile will look after the treatment. That gives a lot of patients the reassurance they need before they commit to the cost of the full procedure. Once you and your dentist are both happy that the computer-generated model is showing the right results for you, your dentist will commission the production of the transparent aligners. The aligners, therefore, are designed and built specifically for you and to the exact specification agreed with your dentist. So you can simply look forward to the results.


WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF CLEARPATH ALIGNERS?


The method of treatment offers patients who choose it a number of significant advantages:

1) TIME-LESS CHAIRSIDE TIME AND SHORTER APPOINTMENTS.

2) AESTHETICS
This is probably the primary reason why most people choose ALIGNERS and it is another example of how this product is designed to minimize disruption to everyday life. Aligners are made of thin, discrete and transparent plastic, so they are barely visible while you are wearing them. It’s a huge contrast with conventional braces, where the metal brackets are virtually the first thing that people notice when they meet you.


3)COMFORT

Finally, conventional braces also cause disruption to your everyday life because they can be so uncomfortable. Conventional braces are fixed, so it can make it difficult to chew and food can easily get trapped around your braces, brackets, elastics and wires. Also, your dentist has to tighten the braces on a regular basis, to ensure that they are still moving the teeth effectively. This can be uncomfortable – not to mention the inconvenience of so much time spent in the dentist’s chair.


In the majority of cases, aligners are used to realign teeth, correct a smile and to provide a fast, discrete cosmetic enhancement. Any more significant issues may require a treatment that is perhaps less comfortable to wear, but which in the long run will provide far more sustainable results. Aligners is primarily suited to individuals who require relatively minor orthodontic work. If we apply the above decision-making process, its cost and the fact that the aligners are removable probably means that most dentists would recommend this treatment to adults who are interested in a fast, low maintenance cosmetic solution.
