More Discreet Orthodontic Care with ClearCorrect
July 26, 2013
Traditional braces are just one treatment option for patients with misaligned teeth. At The Dentists at Orenco Station, Dr. Brandon Kearbey and Dr. Malinda Kearbey offer ClearCorrect, a special cosmetic braces option that gives adults patients the chance to improve the appearance of their smile without drawing attention to their treatment.
Instead of using metal brackets and wires, ClearCorrect helps you achieve your goal with a set of clear, custom-made aligners. As you go through your treatment, you’ll wear each aligner for about two weeks. With each one, your teeth will be brought closer and closer to their ideal position.
But outside of being clear and not using brackets or wires, there’s another benefit of straightening your smile with ClearCorrect—your aligners are removable. What that means is that you can take them out for meals, but also for brushing and flossing. Because of this, you can enjoy your favorite foods and still brush and floss as thoroughly as you normally would. Brackets and wires can get in the way of caring for your smile, leading to an increased risk of gum disease and tooth decay, which would mean spending more time in the dental chair later on. ClearCorrect lets you eat what you enjoy, care for your smile normally, and instead of coming in to have your braces tightened, we’ll only need to see you every six to eight weeks to check your progress.
Do you have questions about ClearCorrect? Dr. Brandon Kearbey and Dr. Malinda Kearbey would be happy to answer them. Call The Dentists at Orenco Station today to reserve your consultation. We provide general, cosmetic, and restorative to patients from Hillsboro, Forrest Grove, Beaverton, Cornelius, and Rock Creek.
The Effectiveness of Kör Whitening
July 5, 2013
If you’re unhappy with how your smile looks, that’s going to affect how much you smile and how others think about you. Studies have shown that patients with a dazzling smile are perceived as friendlier, more intelligent, and more successful. But not too many people have teeth that are naturally white.
That’s why dentists like Dr. Brandon Kearbey and Dr. Malinda Kearbey offer to brighten smiles with Kör Whitening. There are many different whitening systems out there, but Kör Whitening is one of the most effective. With its specially-formulated whitening gel, patients can brighten their teeth by as much 10 shades.
Here’s how it works.
First, our doctors at The Dentists at Orenco Station will create a pair of custom-made bleaching trays. Then, when those are ready, you’ll line them with Kör Whitening’s gel and wear them for about two weeks every night while you sleep. Over that period, the Kör gel will increase your teeth’s ability to absorb oxygen. As your teeth absorb more and more oxygen, your stains will fade from view. What’s more, Kör Whitening provides long-lasting results that can be achieved with little to no sensitivity.
