Cosmetic Orthodontics in Grand Junction

Here’s How It Works

If we determine ClearCorrect^{^™} is the best orthodontic option to enhance your smile, we start by capturing a series of diagnostic x-rays and bite impressions. These are used to help us design a step-by-step treatment plan to shift your teeth gradually from their current position to the ideal alignment over the course of treatment. Once we have a plan in place, we’ll send this information to our trusted ClearCorrect^{^™} lab where a series of clear, plastic alignment trays will be crafted. Each tray is worn for a predetermined amount of time (about two weeks), and then exchanged for the next set in the series. Over the course of about 12 months, teeth are gently shifted into their proper alignment. With just a few periodic visits to our office to ensure the smile alignments is on track, patients see beautiful results without a mouthful of metal.

Every few weeks, you will receive a new aligner that continues the gradual process of realigning your teeth. These custom-made aligners are completely removable, so you can eat, d
