| ClearStep – Invisible braces |
|
Belle Vue Dental Practice is a registered ClearStep™ centre.
At Belle Vue we use ClearStep™, to treat a variety of orthodontic concerns including teeth which are crooked, crowded or with gaps. They are clear, removable and comfortable, so they won’t interfere with your life.
We offer a free consultation to see if you are suitable for treatment by this revolutionary technique.
How does the system work?
ClearStep™ uses an advanced laboratory procedure developed over the last five years. The system combines the diagnostic and treatment planning expertise of the dentist and couples it with the new plastic ClearStep™ system of positioners.
The system moves teeth in precisely planned and accurate incremental steps using a series of custom-made clear positioners.
Patients wear each positioner for an average of two weeks, moving their teeth gradually week by week, millimetre by millimetre into the desired final positions.
Who does it work for?
ClearStep is a system of positioners that can treat virtually anyone dentally fit and aged over 14.
What does it correct?
- Crowding - teeth are too close together
- Spacing - gaps between teeth
- Overbite - teeth overlap too much vertically
- Overjet - front teeth stick out
- Underbite - lower teeth stick out beyond top teeth
- Crossbite - upper and lower teeth bite on the wrong side of each other
- Openbite - your teeth do not meet when you bite
- Misplaced midline - centre lines of upper and lower teeth don't align
Advantages of ClearStep™
- 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.
- No metal wires which can be embarrassing, cause allergies and ulcers or lead to white spots on the teeth.
- You can remove the positioner for eating so you can eat what you want and where you want. No need for dietary restrictions.
- You can take the positioner out for business meetings or social occasions. We only request that you wear your positioner for 22 hours a day on average.
- There is little danger of tooth damage or gum disease as the positioner is taken out when eating, cleaning and tooth flossing and brushing.
- Protects the biting surface of the teeth reducing enamel wear and abrasion from grinding/clenching.
What is involved?
The treatment commences with a thorough dental examination when Mrs Gardiner will examine your teeth to make sure you are dentally fit. After taking photographs, x-rays and impressions for study models she will formulate your personal treatment plan with the ClearStep team to give you your desired smile.
A series of custom made positioners are made that will apply pressure to your teeth so that they move slowly into their final position. After two weeks each positioner will have done their job and you move on to the next in the series which will move your teeth a little further on.
Every four weeks Mrs Gardiner will review your progress and provide the next two positioners in the series.
The length of the treatment will depend on how far the teeth need to move, most courses last between 9 and 15 months.
Finally you will be given a supply of night retainers that will maintain the teeth in their new position.
