Can I Straighten My Teeth Without Seeing a Dentist?

Posted on February 16, 2024 in Orthodontics

Have you been stranded by your at-home clear aligner company? Our Coronado dentist—Jason Keckley, DMD—can help keep your journey to a straighter smile on track! We offer custom ClearCorrect™ treatment plans to help patients make a seamless transition from their at-home aligner system. 

While Dr. Keckley understands the appeal of at-home aligners from a convenience perspective, there are numerous benefits to having your orthodontic treatment overseen by a licensed dentist. Every smile is unique, and dentists are specially trained to assess and treat concerns relating to the teeth, gums, and underlying oral structures. Tooth misalignment is a complex issue that is closely linked with bite function and jaw health. Working with a dentist allows for a greater degree of oversight and adaptability throughout the treatment process, offering more personalized and reliable outcomes. 

ClearCorrect™ is an innovative clear aligner therapy designed to help adult patients obtain straighter, better-aligned smiles with a discreet and comfortable treatment process. Thin, flexible plastic aligners trays are custom-crafted for each patient to ensure a proper fit. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks, at which point patients swap to the next set in the series. Patients who have previously used at-home clear aligners often find the transition quite comfortable due to the similarities between the different systems.
