SureSmile® Clear Aligners
What is SureSmile®?
SureSmile® has long been used to correct an array of orthodontic problems faced by children, teens and adults alike. SureSmile® uses a system of clear trays, known as aligners, to apply gentle pressure to the teeth. The SureSmile® system is very similar to the Invisalign® clear aligner system, which you may be familiar with. The pressure applied from the aligners can eventually correct issues involving crowding, spacing, and crookedness so that you’re left with a straight and beautiful smile. SureSmile® aligners are clear in nature, so no one but you and the dental team will even know you’re wearing them.
Why is SureSmile® needed?
SureSmile® is often recommended to patients who want to avoid the stigma of bulky, metal traditional braces. You might be an older teen or adult who wants to benefit from orthodontic treatment, but you’re hesitant to have work done because you don’t want to wear metal brackets and wires. SureSmile® is ideal for patients who have crooked, crowded or unevenly spaced teeth. It can be effective at treating under and overbites as well.
Who is a good candidate for SureSmile®?
To determine if you’re a good candidate for SureSmile® treatment, you’ll need to come in for a consultation appointment and examination. SureSmile® is often recommended to older teens and adults who can commit to keeping the aligners in for 22 hours a day. Younger children may remove the aligners and forget to put them back in, prolonging treatment and halting results. Most patients who want Invisalign can safely have the treatment done.
What can you expect with SureSmile® treatment?
We begin with an exam and consultation that involves x-rays. We then create a personalized treatment plan specific to SureSmile® wear. Impressions are taken to create your first set of aligners. You’ll need to wear these aligners for 22 hours a day and only remove them when brushing and eating. You will need to come back into the office at regular intervals to have new aligners made for you over the course of treatment. SureSmile® treatment can take anywhere from six months to about two or three years depending on orthodontic severity.
