Love your smile during and after treatment

Experience the Benefits of Subtle Orthodontics

You aren't alone if you are getting orthodontic treatment. Studies show that about 27 percent of patients getting orthodontics are adults. One reason so many adults are comfortable pursuing this treatment is the availability of discreet solutions like aligners. At Greenwood Dental Care, we offer ClearCorrect to our patients.

When you come in for your consultation, Dr. Kurziak examines the extent of your alignment issues. If it's purely a cosmetic problem, she may recommend veneers instead. Known as "instant orthodontics," these thin porcelain shells can cover small gaps or slightly overlapping teeth.

If ClearCorrect is the right solution for you, we'll capture impressions with a digital scanner and get your aligners created. You'll experience numerous benefits throughout your aligner treatment:

Barely Visible - The invisibility of the aligners is one of the biggest perks. No one but you and your dentist needs to know you are wearing them.
Comfortable - The aligners fit snugly over your teeth. You won't have to deal with wires or brackets irritating the inside of your mouth.
Convenient - You can remove your aligners when you brush your teeth, floss, or sit down for a meal. Just make sure you wear them for about 22 hours a day.
Easy Maintenance - You clean your aligners with a soft toothbrush and gentle soap or toothpaste. No special routines are needed.
Stress-Free Checkups - You'll visit for progress checkups every six weeks. However, you won't have to sit through uncomfortable wire adjustments like you would with braces.

Start your journey to straighter teeth with a consultation about clear aligners in Waukegan.

Leslie (BeautyLover674)

Was my first visit to Greenwood Dental today I was very impressed with everything! As I have always been apprehensive about someone “poking “ around in my mouth, I felt very comfortable with Dr. Kurziak doing a complete examination of my teeth, along with Dawn, the hygienist!! Doctor found a couple of issues, one I had known about and the other was very similar so I made an appointment to get this resolved! Also, there is a “comfort dog” on Wednesday to help allay someone’s apprehension, and “April “ the comfort pup, jumped on my lap and she really helped me relax!! As we have two Golden Retrievers, and I love dogs, April sure made my visit a lot less stressful!!! My wife also visited Greenwood Dental today, and she was very impressed and happy with the service!! We are certainly happy and glad we chose Greenwood Dental!😁 We would both HIGHLY recommend Greenwood Dental!!

I am always greeted with friendly smiles. So much genuine care is put into every visit. The dentist and staff prioritize each patient’s comfort and they deliver quality care. And their dog, April, is beyond precious. I have been recommending them to everyone.

Common Questions About Clear Aligners

Can clear aligners really straighten my teeth?

Yes, clear aligners can effectively straighten many types of crooked, crowded, or spaced teeth. We use ClearCorrect to gently move your teeth into better alignment over time, so you can enjoy a straighter, more attractive smile without metal brackets or wires.

Are clear aligners right for my bite issues?

Clear aligners can correct many bite problems, including some overbites, underbites, and crossbites. At your consultation, your dentist will examine your teeth and bite. We'll let you know if ClearCorrect is appropriate or if another treatment would work better for your situation.

Am I a good candidate for clear aligners?

You're usually a good candidate if your teeth and gums are healthy and your alignment issues are mild to moderate. Adults and responsible teens do especially well. We'll review your goals, lifestyle, and oral health to decide if clear aligners are the best option for you.

How long will I need to wear clear aligners?

Most patients wear clear aligners for several months to about a year, depending on their case. You'll switch to a new set every few weeks. We'll estimate your timeline at your consultation and update you as we see your progress at each checkup.

How many hours a day do I need to wear orthodontic aligners?

You need to wear your clear aligners about 22 hours a day for the best results. You'll remove them only to eat, drink anything besides water, brush, and floss. Consistent wear is key to keeping your treatment on schedule and achieving your desired smile.

Are clear aligners comfortable to wear?

Clear aligners are generally very comfortable. They're smooth and custom-fitted to your teeth, so you avoid the rubbing and poking that often comes with braces. You may feel mild pressure when you switch to a new set of aligners, but that usually fades in a day or two.

Can I eat and drink normally with clear aligners?

Yes, you can eat and drink normally because you remove your aligners for meals. You won't have food restrictions like you do with braces. Just remember to brush or rinse your teeth before putting them back in. This keeps your aligners clear and your smile healthy.

How do I clean and care for my orthodontic aligners?

You clean your aligners by gently brushing them with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or toothpaste. Rinse them with lukewarm water, not hot. Avoid colored or abrasive cleaners. This simple routine keeps them clear, fresh, and free of buildup throughout your orthodontic treatment.
