Straight teeth have never been easier! SureSmile® aligners are flexible plastic trays that fit your teeth perfectly. They are designed to apply slight pressure that will gradually move your teeth into the desired position. They’re removable, comfortable, and — even better — they’re invisible!
Get your teeth straightened faster with SureSmile® treatment. Instead of taking 2 years like traditional braces do, SureSmile® aligners can be done in as little as 6 months! They’re the perfect way to get the smile of your dreams.
SureSmile® braces are a clear aligner treatment that works by channeling the teeth into a straighter smile. It works similarly to braces but it does not have brackets or wires, instead, it uses a clear retainer that is updated and changed every few weeks to give you a smooth transition with minimal pain.
SureSmile® aligners are removable, so you will have no problem eating your favorite foods. Brushing and flossing your teeth is easier! The aligners will be customized to your mouth. SureSmile® braces replace crooked teeth with a straight smile.
An unhealthy bite can cause your teeth to wear down more quickly. SureSmile® treatment can correct:
Both of these treatments are made to correct crooked teeth but they differ in how they do it.
SureSmile® clear braces align the teeth to the desired position. Since the aligners cover the entire tooth and are fully customized they allow for a faster and smoother transition.
Braces use brackets and wires to straighten your teeth. The wires eventually become thicker to strengthen the pull of your teeth into the desired alignment. SureSmile® aligners are removable but braces are only taken off once the treatment is completed.
SureSmile®clear braces work for teens or adults. Here’s why clear aligners are perfect for adults and teens:
SureSmile® clear aligners will correct crooked, overcrowded, and misaligned teeth to give you a straight and appealing smile. They will also correct your bite to help with chewing and digestion. The smooth transition the aligners provide will keep your gums happy and protect your teeth from cavities caused by gaps in the teeth.
In addition to a beautifully aligned smile, with a corrected bite, eating will be easy and painless, now that you can chew your food comfortably. SureSmile® clear braces have quick, stunning, and long-lasting results.
Similar to braces, SureSmile® treatment is long-lasting and can last for the rest of your life with proper care. When you complete the treatment, you will receive a retainer that you should wear as instructed by the dentist.
The benefit of SureSmile® aligners compared to braces is that since they cover the entire tooth it moves the root along with the teeth to give you a longer-lasting alignment than typical braces. As long as you wear your retainer as recommended by your dentist, you should have straight teeth for the rest of your life.
You may be wondering if you can still get SureSmile® treatment after having braces. If you did not wear your retainer as instructed by your orthodontist then your teeth might have shifted since your brace. Nothing is holding you back from receiving SureSmile® aligners after you have had braces. They can help get your smile back.
A lot of people prefer SureSmile® clear aligners after having braces because it is a quick and natural-looking treatment to correct your bite and small issues that formed since getting braces.
For children, metal braces may work better to solve orthodontic issues. But most teens and adults would rather avoid metal brackets and wires.
With clear aligners, you get to wear something almost invisible that doesn’t have metal brackets glued to your teeth. Metal brackets and wires are distracting in a lot of situations, but SureSmile® aligners eliminate embarrassment by being nearly invisible.
Metal braces have to be tightened, which can be painful. SureSmile® aligners are each precisely planned to apply gentle pressure to teeth without pain.
Look for a dental office that will consider your goals when creating your treatment plan and customizing it to your needs. The dentist you choose should have the advanced technology required for creating the aligners so you can have a smooth transition between aligners.
In addition to advanced technology, you want to have an experienced dental team that knows what it’s doing and cares about giving the patient great results. You might want to consult with multiple dental offices to ensure you get a wonderful smile.
The quickest way to see what results you’ve received from your SureSmile® treatment is by looking at your before and after photographs.
Before you get SureSmile® clear braces, you may have crooked teeth or an abnormal bite, but after the treatment, all of your cosmetic and functional issues should be corrected. You can expect long-lasting results from the treatment if you wear your retainer as instructed.
Keep in mind that not everyone is an ideal candidate for the SureSmile® system. If a different treatment is better for you, we’ll recommend it. Here’s what makes a good candidate:
SureSmile® treatment has fewer side effects than braces, but they have one main side effect in common and that is pain or discomfort. When your teeth are shifting to become straighter you can assume that there will be discomfort, this can be easily mediated with pain medicine and an ice pack.
It may be uncomfortable to put the aligners on after a while of being off so make sure to wear them as much as you can.
Some SureSmile® treatments take 6 months. Others take up to 18 months. Treatment time depends on the nature of your case and how often you wear the aligners. You can also expect:
Extremely crowded or separated teeth may require longer treatments.
We expect your SureSmile® treatment to last the rest of your life with the help of your custom retainers.
To get to that point, you need to build some new habits:
SureSmile® treatment is similar to Invisalign. They both offer faster, more comfortable orthodontic treatment. They are both nearly invisible. And, they are both removable. The main differences are in the additional services offered to speed up the process. SureSmile® treatment may include the SureSmile® VPro™ and Invisalign could include SmartForce® Attachments. These accessories shorten treatment time differently.
Because dentists have had great success with clear aligners, some companies now offer clear aligners through the mail. We recommend you avoid mail-order clear aligners for these reasons:
Every SureSmile® case is different. At your initial consultation, we’ll plan your treatment and quote you an exact fee.
