Is that possible, or will you need trays for both your upper and lower sets of pearly whites?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer might be a bit more complicated than you think. Keep reading, though, because this post will explain everything you need to know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does ClearCorrect Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like braces, ClearCorrect aligners are designed to move teeth by applying pressure that\u2019s gradually increased throughout your treatment. Unlike braces, ClearCorrect is practically invisible when worn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll receive a customized set of clear plastic trays every two weeks or so and keep them in your mouth for 20 \u2013 22 hours per day. Since the plastic is smooth, patients often find them more comfortable than metal braces, and you\u2019ll be able to remove them for eating and snacking, eliminating the need to restrict your diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Single Arch Treatment Possible?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That might sound great, but it doesn\u2019t yet answer the question. Basically, treating your upper or lower teeth only is possible, but not always recommended. Your oral cavity is a small space, so making adjustments, however slight, can impact the rest of your teeth. In most cases, shifting only one arch of teeth throws off how all of your pearly whites align when you bite down. The unevenness can cause discomfort or even premature wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, if you only need minor adjustments, are looking for a more cosmetic (rather than practical) shift, or are trying to realign teeth that were previously straightened, then you could safely receive a single arch treatment with ClearCorrect. It all depends on your unique smile and your dentist\u2019s professional assessment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A quick and simple single arch treatment can help some patients in specific scenarios. However, for many, the results would cause more harm than good. To ensure you\u2019re doing what\u2019s best for your oral health and comfort, talk with your dentist about straightening your teeth with ClearCorrect. They\u2019ll be able to determine what you need in order to get results you\u2019ll love!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rnrdentistry.com\/meet-your-dentist.html\">Dr. Ramona Rivera<\/a> is a skilled dentist with certification in multiple clear aligner systems.
