How SureSmile Works
SureSmile is a clear aligner system that moves teeth with the help of gentle, consistent pressure. After meeting with our dentists for a personalized consultation, we’ll take digital scans of your teeth as well as discuss your smile goals. After customizing a treatment plan for you, SureSmile will receive the instructions and craft unique aligners designed solely for your smile.
You will receive your aligners and begin to wear them 20-22 hours a day for several weeks at a time. Throughout treatment, you’ll be required to meet with our dentists for regular checkups so that we can make sure everything is moving along without issue.
Indications for SureSmile
SureSmile is capable of addressing the most simple and complex orthodontic cases, including crowded and gapped teeth as well as different bite misalignments.
Crowded Teeth
If you’re unable to properly clean your teeth and maintain good oral health, it might be because your pearly whites are crowded. This makes it hard to brush and floss properly, resulting in an increased risk of dental decay and gum disease. However, with SureSmile, the aligners can begin to move teeth so that adequate space appears between teeth.
Gaps Between Teeth
When too much space exists between teeth, it can make it easy for bacteria and food particles to become trapped. Not to mention, many individuals struggle with feeling confident when their smile contains one or more significant gaps. Fortunately, SureSmile can work to bring your teeth closer together, eliminating the space and creating a more visually stunning aesthetic in addition to better oral health.
Bite Alignment
A misaligned bite of any kind (i.e., overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite) can be problematic for your tooth enamel and jawbone, especially the temporomandibular joints (TMJs). Overuse can cause inflammation, and damage can create serious issues relating to your bite’s function. With SureSmile, these trays can adjust your bite so that it aligns perfectly, allowing your teeth to come together properly without causing tension in other areas of your face or mouth.
The Benefits of SureSmile
Some of the most unique benefits that SureSmile provides include:
- They’re discreet, so instead of being embarrassed by metal braces, you can feel confident during and after treatment.
- They’re removable, so you can eat and drink without negatively impacting your aligners.
- They’re comfortable because they have no protruding wires or brackets that rub against your soft oral tissues.
- They’re often more affordable than other clear aligner systems.
- They can produce faster results than metal braces or other similar aligners with many cases requiring only 6-18 months.
- The aligners have a straight cut, which provides greater force when moving teeth.
How Much Does SureSmile Cost?
Each case is different, so determining a cost can only be accomplished after meeting with our dentists. During a thorough consultation, we’ll not only map out your treatment plan but also provide a detailed estimate of your costs. Some research indicates SureSmile is cheaper than other similar aligner systems, but this will vary depending on the severity of your case and other unique factors. You can trust that our team will do our best to make sure you save the most money when preparing to start SureSmile treatment.
