CLEAR CORRECT? Orthodontic Treatment Takes Dentistry World by Storm

Your kid needs braces, and it’s becoming more obvious the older they get. But you don’t want to put them through that; you remember kids being ridiculed for those shiny metal braces. Maybe you were one of those “brace faces” yourself! In addition, braces are high-maintenance and sometimes pretty uncomfortable. Don’t you wish there was a way to avoid all that and still give your child straight teeth? Enter Clear Correct, the orthodontic treatment that’s taking the world by storm. Instead of attaching hardware to your child’s teeth, we map out their mouth using laser technology and create retainers that are a perfect fit. These clear retainers then push teeth into the right place. As progress is made, new retainers are created to continue the improvement. With weekly retainer changes, Clear Correct can actually work up to 50 percent faster than normal braces. nk You AKING PATIENT APPRECIATION DAY A SUCCESS!
