Santa Ana Dentistry is a Santa Ana based family dentist practice that treats patients of all ages. We are committed to delivering the highest quality dental care and do so using advanced dental equipment. We are a cosmetic dentist that offers services like checkups, teeth cleaning, crowns, veneers and more.
Instead of relying on metal brackets and wires to move teeth, ClearCorrect braces use a series of clear aligners to move teeth into place. The aligners are made of a clear and comfortable plastic that looks similar to a full retainer. By taking care of them and refraining from scratching their surface, aligners will remain clear and virtually invisible when worn. At Santa Ana Dentistry, we can show you how to keep your aligners in perfect condition during the treatment process.
The aligners are created using an impression of your teeth and gums. Once received, the lab will create a series of aligners that start with the current position of your teeth and slowly move them until they are perfectly straight. A patient will wear each aligner for about four to six weeks. Afterward, the patient will replace the old aligner with the next one in the series. The aligners place pressure on specific teeth to gradually move the teeth for a more comfortable experience. By wearing all of the aligners in the series, your teeth will move from crooked to perfectly straight.
The aligners are given to you at the beginning of the procedure so that you do not have to visit our Santa Ana dentist office every time that you need to switch them out. This allows you to spend less time in the dental chair than you would when wearing traditional metal braces.
Traditional metal braces are extremely effective for straightening teeth and treating misaligned jaws. While metal braces are more comfortable than they were in the past, they are still noticeable and unfavorable to many. With the wires, brackets, and rubber bands, traditional metal braces can negatively impact the way that a person looks and feels. Many people find that traditional braces are distracting and do not fit into a busy or professional lifestyle.
Simultaneously, metal braces are difficult to keep clean as food can become stuck between the brackets, requiring a special floss to remove the bits of food. At Santa Ana Dentistry, we can help patients receive the necessary treatment without having to drastically change their diet or skip out on some of their favorite treats when wearing braces. While only temporary, this can be inconvenient and at times, frustrating. Given the tendency for food to become stuck, those wearing braces, also need to spend more time brushing and flossing throughout the day.
ClearCorrect is a far more convenient option than other methods for straightening one's teeth. Patients remove the aligners themselves when eating, so there are no restrictions on which foods you can eat. Patients also do not have to worry about something becoming stuck in the brackets or the embarrassment of feeling awkward while eating. Patients wear ClearCorrect for at least 22 hours per day, leaving plenty of time to enjoy a romantic dinner, business meeting, or lunch without metal braces ruining one's confidence. This makes it possible for patients to maintain their current lifestyle without any further restrictions.
Clear braces arean excellentteeth straightening option. They give individuals who utilize them the ability to straighten their teeth without making it obvious to everyone that they are wearing braces.However, there is a slight downside to clear braces, which is they typically stain easier than other forms of teeth straightening options.If you currently wear clear braces,

Dr Chang is amazing, very knowledgeable. He gives me simple yet valuable instructions on how to properly take care of my little son's teeth. The only drawback is he did give me some parenting advice during my first visit, and that took quite some time (which I didn't ask for). Quite off topic and steered away from his scope of practice professionally. I appreciated it though. He can be a great guys to share things with, not for me though. 100% for the quality of service but if you're like me just want in and out, no gossip, he's not for you.

Our family has been going to Dr. Chang for 30 years. He is very gentle and doesn't try to push extra procedures you don't need. He is very affordable if you're paying cash. As great as he is, his staff is even better. They treat us like family and always give the very best service. We have moved away from Santa Ana but still make the trip to Dr. Chang's, highly recommend him.

On behalf of my mother who is a patient of Dr. Crispin Chang for over a decade. Last visit was to have an extraction of my tooth. I've always had a phobia with needles and extremely afraid of going to the dentist. Dr. Chang took the time to make the procedure went very smoothly. I have high blood pressure and he had my blood level monitored while extracting the tooth. There was no pain or problem, in fact I didn't feel the extraction at all. It was a very pleasant experience. My family has been going to Dr. Chang for over 10 years. Dr. Chang is an excellent dentist. He's very experienced and ethical. His wealth of knowledge and professionalism has always made his patients feel calm, comfortable, and confident. And he also has a pleasant and friendly staff team.
