The timeline of the smile makeover process can vary considerably. This is because each smile makeover is planned according to the patient’s needs and aesthetic goals, and different combinations of treatments will take longer than others. It is also important to note that certain procedures may warrant multiple visits to accommodate healing periods and the crafting of customized restorations (e.g., veneers or implants), whereas others can be completed in one day. drName can provide you with a more concrete estimation after helping you determine the precise course of your makeover.

The skills of a qualified dental professional like drName combined with durable ceramic materials typically make for long-lasting effects; however, the longevity of your makeover will depend on the solutions you choose to incorporate. With proper care, veneers, crowns, fillings, and other restorations can last for years without needing replacements, while teeth whitening often requires multiple treatment sessions. Ultimately, the best way to prolong the results of your smile makeover is to practice good oral hygiene. This includes brushing at least twice daily, flossing regularly, and attending routine exams and cleanings. Additionally, you may want to avoid smoking tobacco and consuming foods or drinks that are prone to staining in order to maintain the shiny, natural-looking results of your smile makeover.

To determine if a patient is a good candidate for a smile makeover, it is recommended to schedule a consultation with the dentist. While most people can benefit from the procedure, preexisting conditions like gum disease or tooth decay must be addressed first before proceeding with the makeover.

Unfortunately, because most treatments included in a smile makeover are chiefly cosmetic, most insurance companies will not cover them. That being said, if non-cosmetic procedures, such as dental implants, are to be incorporated into the makeover, they may qualify for at least partial coverage. We encourage you to ask our team about our financial options.

While wearing clear aligners, brief periods of discomfort may occur when new aligners are put on. Expect changes in your ‘bite,’ a lisp at first, and engagers (“buttons”) to assist the aligner in moving teeth.

Some tenderness or sensitivity may occur during the first few days of wearing a new aligner, but the more you wear the aligner, the more comfortable it becomes. Sores and irritation are possible but rare. ClearCorrect® aligners are among the most comfortable in the industry.

The aligners are fairly simple to keep clean, but proper oral hygiene is essential. Most aligners can be cleaned with a toothbrush, cool water, and non-abrasive toothpaste. Cleaning instructions are on every bag of new aligners.

Engagers (bumps) may be temporarily affixed to teeth depending on the treatment. They assist with difficult tooth movements and can be easily removed.

Treatment time varies based on treatment goals, and the amount of correction needed. Treatment time can exceed estimates due to factors such as poor compliance, missing appointments, and poor oral hygiene.

It is recommended to wear the aligners for 22 hours a day. They should only be removed for meals, brushing and flossing.

While treatment aligners have a determined wear period, retainers may need to be worn for an extended period based on the treatment result.

ClearCorrect® aligners are made of a plastic specially formulated for ClearCorrect. It is a polyurethane resin that is superior in stress retention, impact resistance, clarity, and stain resistance. It has also been tested for biocompatibility.

No. ClearCorrect® aligners are made without BPA or phthalates and have been approved by the FDA.
