Get Straight Teeth Hassle-Free With Invisalign & ClearCorrect Clear Braces in Novi

The clear braces are great. We use Invisalign. We use ClearCorrect. They use gentle forces just like traditional braces to move teeth. Some of the advantages are you really don't see that you're going through any orthodontic work to improve your smile so people don't really know that you're doing that and some people prefer that. I know my wife, personally, we treated her with the Invisalign and we've treated many patients that are in positions where their jobs require that they interact with people all the time. We've had teachers. We've had CEOs of companies. We've had flight attendants. We've had people that interact every day with the public and they just don't want the traditional braces so it's great with that.

The other advantage is you can take those off when you eat so you're able to get around and clean areas around the teeth better than you can with traditional braces. We always evaluate, take a digital scan. We evaluate the bite. We get a simulation back to see where we can move things. There's a series of trays that are used and each aligner or tray moves a small segment and you wear each tray for two to three weeks. Most treatments, we go anywhere between three months to six or eight months up to a year or so. It's something that our patients have loved and many times we combine it with other treatments where we're moving things and then doing some whitening or doing some veneers if a tooth is too small. But it's a great service.

I had two kids go through braces and I remember having the sore mouths, the wires, all the pain that went with that. I was considering going through something similar. They have one that's a very short time of six months. Invisalign's different because you can remove them, you can eat whatever you like, corn on the cob. You can clean your teeth a lot better.

You can get in there and floss and you don't have all those wires hurting your mouth and trying to work around. It just seemed more the thing for me, especially at my age. When you hit 60 you don't wanna have a problem with roots and other things that I feel that if you try to move things too fast. Invisalign was taking the time and making it correct and even continuing it on if it didn't perfect exactly the way that you wanted the first time.

They will continue on until they get it just perfect. That's getting there. My teeth went crooked when I had wisdom teeth that were going sideways. I've had them that way for quite a while. Then as I got older, they were starting to shift and get worse and worse. I noticed myself smiling less or hiding it a little bit more, and I thought, ''You know, it's time to do something for me.''

That's when I decided, ''Okay, let's do this.'' Nobody notices it, really, that I'm wearing them when I have them on, which is nice, rather than having a mouth full of metal. It's been a great process for me. They've come a long way.
