<p>The days of intrusive, obvious metal invisalign braces are over! Everyone deserves to have a bright, confident smile, and Clearstep has devised a method of obtaining one without the long and painful process of traditional invisalign braces or dramatic dental procedures. <br /> <br />Whether the issue is spacing, over or underbite or crowding, Clearstep has produced a system proven to assist patients in correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues, all while never letting on to the people around them that they are in the process of treatment.</p> <p>Clearstep is a modern method of straightening orthodontics through a procedure of successive clear, almost invisible positioners that are specially customized to the distinct needs of the patient. The positioners fit over the orthodontics and slowly move them into the final position prescribed for the patient, in the end producing a straight smile while never interfering with day-to-day life. <br /> <br />Patients will wear the thin, transparent positioner for approximately two weeks, then replace it with the next, slightly different, positioner in the series. As the treatment advances, orthodontics will move, slowly and gently over time. During the process, patients will visit their orthodontist or dentist every six weeks to assess their progress.</p> <p>Patients who pursue the Clearstep treatment will work with their doctor to create a customized program to treat their particular orthodontic issues, and in doing so, will create a full set of medical grade plastic positioners made specifically for them. <br /> <br />Clearstep treatment typically lasts between nine and eighteen months, depending upon the situation, and during the course of treatment, patients are likely to use between eighteen and thirty-five positioners in total.<br /> <br />Clearstep invisalign braces, while using a similar process to traditional metal invisalign braces in straightening orthodontics, do differ in that they are fully removable, allowing patients to eat whatever foods they crave during their treatment, as well as provide them with the ability to brush and floss without the obstruction of metal invisalign braces in the way. Clearstep treatment is also flexible, allowing patients to remove the positioner for a special event, meeting or date if they so desire.<br /> <br />Also, because they do not utilize any wires or metal, Clearstep invisalign braces are comfortable to wear and will neither impede the patient’s speech, nor irritate their gums or cheeks, removing the need for those undergoing treatment to visit the orthodontist every few weeks for adjustments. <br /> <br />It’s important for patients to keep their positioners clean with lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush, avoiding using toothpaste when cleaning as it can scratch and, as a result, stain the positioner.</p>
