This is considered as a great way to get your teeth fixed appropriately without concerning about your overall appearance, hygiene, habits, lifestyle and work schedule.

I have found a large number of people that don’t want to use dental braces just because of their bad appearance. Since the advent of braces, people think of a mouth full of ugly metal hardware that can be easily noticed. Contrary to this face, people go for aligners to get their teeth aligned right. Moreover, these aligners are put on teeth only for few months.


Adults don’t go for metallic or ceramic braces as they don’t want to spoil their looks. In order to overcome this issue, clear aligners have been introduced in the market that provide the same purpose without making them visible to people. According to leading dentists, a large number of dental problems can be easily treated by placing ClearPath’s clear aligners.

The only difference is that they are invisible i.e. clear plastic trays / aligners and do not hinder the looks of an individual.


In today’s world, everyone wants invisible aligners and by using these the teeth get straightened without any need to bond metal, ceramic, wires, elastics or any other attachments onto your teeth. ClearPath’s clear plastic aligners are active appliances that are made of medical grade inert plastic that is so clear that it can hardly be noticed by anyone.

LIMITATIONS WITH BRACES

Although braces are generally effective in correcting a wide range of malocclusions, they are subject to many limitations and disadvantages. Conventional orthodontic treatment is associated with:

UNATTRACTIVE APPEARANCE: Braces call attention to the patient’s condition and treatment. In addition, braces trap food, which can further compromise appearance. Braces can also result in permanent discoloration of teeth. Many adults associate braces with adolescence.

ORAL DISCOMFORT: Clear Braces or braces are sharp and bulky and can abrade and irritate the interior surfaces of the mouth. The tightening or adjustment of braces results in root and gum soreness and discomfort, especially in the few days immediately following an orthodontic visit.

POOR ORAL HYGIENE: Braces compromise oral hygiene by making it more difficult to brush and floss. These problems can result in tooth decay and periodontal damage. Additionally, the bonding of brackets to teeth can cause permanent markings on the teeth.

Advantages of Aligners

In some instances, Clearpath may have certain limitations relative to conventional treatment. Aligners cost more to produce than conventional braces, and we charge dental professionals more than they generally pay for the supplies used in conventional treatment. Depending on the individual pricing policies of each dental professional, the cost of Clearpath to the patient may be greater than for conventional braces.

Dental professionals must also incorporate our manufacturing cycle times into their overall treatment plan. Once a dental professional submits a case to us, there is generally a turn-around time of 3-4 weeks before the aligners are delivered. Aligners may not be appropriate for all cases, such as severe malocclusion, which may require Aligners to be used in combination with conventional braces for optimal results.

In addition, because aligners are removable, treatment using Clearpath depends on patients wearing their aligners as recommended. Some patients may experience a temporary period of adjustment to wearing dental aligners that may mildly affect speech. We strongly believe that these limitations are outweighed by the many benefits of Clearpath to both patients and dental professionals.

When the destination is beautiful, why should the journey be painful ?

Malocclusion is one of the most prevalent clinical conditions, affecting over ~70% of the Indian population. While most individuals seek orthodontic treatment to improve their appearance, malocclusion may also be responsible for various dental problems such as tooth decay, tooth loss, gum disease, jaw joint pain and headaches. The only option available for correction of malocclusion till now was traditional orthodontic treatment i.e. braces !


Although clear braces are generally effective in correcting a wide range of malocclusions, they are subject to many limitations and disadvantages like unattractive appearance, discomfort, frequent lacerations, poor oral hygiene etc. Due to these limitations of braces, only a relatively small proportion of people with malocclusion seek traditional orthodontic treatment thereby creating a large need gap.


Conventional orthodontic treatment is associated with:

UNATTRACTIVE APPEARANCE:

Braces call attention to the patient's condition and treatment. In addition, braces trap food, which can further compromise appearance. Braces can also result in permanent discoloration of teeth. Many adults associate braces with adolescence.

ORAL DISCOMFORT:

Braces are sharp and bulky and can abrade and irritate the interior surfaces of the mouth. The tightening or adjustment of braces results in root and gum soreness and discomfort, especially in the few days immediately following an orthodontic visit.


POOR ORAL HYGIENE:
Braces compromise oral hygiene by making it more difficult to brush and floss. These problems can result in tooth decay and periodontal damage. Additionally, the bonding of brackets to teeth can cause permanent markings on the teeth.


ClearPath was incorporated to cater to this large unmet need for an orthodontic system that addresses these patient concerns. Clearpath also believes that there is an unmet need among dental professionals for a treatment modality that increases the predictability and efficiency of treatment and enhances profitability of practice also. ClearPath's invisible braces are generally effective in correcting a wide range of irregular contact of opposing teeth in the upper and lower jaws.
