One of the most commonly cited reasons for avoiding orthodontic treatment includes the concern of wearing braces, which are visible to onlookers. Many are worried about how they will look when wearing braces and for adult patients in particular, this can be a particularly stressful issue.

Thankfully, the field of Orthodontics is advancing at lightning speed and new treatments are becoming more readily available.  One of the most popular developments in recent years is clear braces in which ClearStep is an excellent treatment for those who wish to opt for a more discreet orthodontic method.

What is ClearStep?

ClearStep is an invisible brace system, which uses a combination of methods to create a straight, beautiful smile. The main treatment method uses clear, plastic positioners, which are worn for two weeks each time. At the start of treatment, the individual’s treatment pathway will be mapped out using sophisticated computer software and a series of positioners will be created based on this template. Each positioner is slightly different in shape and size in order to encourage the teeth to move. The positioners are removable but should be worn for at least 21 hours per day.

Benefits of ClearStep

The major benefit of ClearStep is that it is a virtually invisible treatment. The positioners are created using clear plastic, allowing them to remain unnoticeable.

ClearStep is a versatile treatment, capable of addressing a whole range of orthodontic problems, including:

• Overcrowding
• Gaps between the teeth
• Misaligned teeth

The positioners are comfortable and removable, which gives you flexibility when it comes to eating, drinking and getting ready for special occasions. The ability to remove the braces also allows you to brush your teeth thoroughly and there are no metal clasps or bands to trap food or bacteria.
