Is one of your New Year’s Resolutions to achieve a straighter set of teeth? If so, you’re not alone. Placing self-care toward the top of your list means you value your smile enough to invest in orthodontic treatment. But why should you start the ClearCorrect process before the end of the year? Why not just begin after ringing in 2025? Keep reading to find out.
The Benefits of ClearCorrect
By now, you’re already familiar with ClearCorrect aligners and how they work, but do you know what kind of benefits they offer?
- ClearCorrect delivers a more subtle method of orthodontic treatment because of the clear aligners that are used to straighten teeth.
- ClearCorrect generates faster results than traditional braces (on average).
- ClearCorrect offers optimal flexibility because you can remove the trays before eating or drinking, so you don’t have to worry about food getting stuck in your braces.
- ClearCorrect is easy to clean, only requiring a soft-bristled toothbrush, clear soap, and lukewarm water.
- ClearCorrect is highly versatile, so it can address many different dental issues (i.e., overcrowding, gaps, bite misalignment, crookedness, etc.).
Why Seek Treatment Now and Not Later?
With the year coming to an end, you might think it’s unnecessary to start any kind of dental or orthodontic treatment right now. However, while your schedule might be busy with holidays and family gatherings, you’ll find it to be beneficial if you begin the process before the conclusion of 2024. Here’s why:
- Dental Insurance Benefits: Your dental insurance benefits are only good for one calendar year, which means that any unused funds that remain available are returned to your insurer at midnight on December 31. Your benefits do not roll over, so instead of waiting to meet your deductible again in 2025, you can go ahead and schedule a consultation and start the ClearCorrect process while you still have available funds and can maximize additional savings.
- You’ll Get Started Sooner: Why wait until 2025 to start when you can do it now? While the majority of your treatment will take place in the coming year, you can go ahead and meet with your dentist now and begin the initial stages of treatment. That way, you can begin to wear your trays after the start of the new year.
- Address Additional Issues: When meeting with your dentist to discuss the idea of starting ClearCorrect, they may find additional dental problems that need to be addressed first. Should this be the case, you can complete these treatments using your existing benefits, helping you save and avoid paying another deductible. That way, once you ring in 2025, you can begin with clear aligners and a healthier smile.
Pursuing orthodontic treatment while you still have time is one of the best decisions you can make when it comes to improving your oral health. Take advantage of your available benefits before time runs out!
