Clearstep

Clearstep is an invisible positioning device that can align teeth and provide a practical solution for a wide range of orthodontic issues. These clear positioners are designed to help with a variety of issues such as gapped teeth, crowded teeth, overbite and underbite, mouth hygiene and more. For Glasgow Clearstep braces look no further than Appletree Dental Care in Scotland.

How Does Clearstep work?

On average, each aligner is worn for two weeks at a time and can be removed with ease. The effortless removal of the device can enable the patient to have more personal independence and choice in their day-to-day life. With traditional 'fixed' braces and positioners, patients were advised to steer clear of certain foods, such as fizzy drinks and sticky foods, as they could provide further dental hygiene problems, but as the Clearstep is fully removable the user can detach the device to brush teeth, floss and use mouthwash in accordance with their dentist's daily requirements.

Will the braces feel uncomfortable?

For the patient, the first impression may be of a tight, taut and sometimes uncomfortable sensation around their teeth and gums, but this is completely normal as the teeth are simply being slowly moved and adjusted into the correct position. Any discomfort will ease in due time and you can get on with your teeth straightening treatment.

Will my speech be affected?

Some wearers of a fixed device have noted trouble with pronunciation but users of the Clearstep aligner no longer have such complaints. The device can be removed at the individual's own convenience as long as it is worn for at least twenty hours a day.

Benefits of the Clearstep positioner

The cost of the Clearstep device compared with other teeth positioning systems can be viewed as great value for money, sometimes coming in at two thirds cheaper than others. Another benefit of Clearstep is its efficiency and speed – not only in the manufacturing method of the aligner but also in terms of the pace of the treatment compared with other methods.
