Clear Aligners
What Are SureSmile Clear Aligners?
SureSmile is a set of clear orthodontic aligners designed to gradually straighten your teeth and correct bite issues over a period of time. Since they are translucent and removable, many adults and teens appreciate that SureSmile aligners don’t interfere with their profession or daily routine. Each set of aligners is custom-fitted to your teeth and gums, making them one of the most comfortable orthodontic solutions available.
SureSmile vs. Other Aligners
The SureSmile Clear Aligner Treatment Process
Consultation & Exam
To start off, your dentist will get to know your smile goals. A comprehensive exam will follow, making sure your gums are healthy enough for treatment.
Digital Impressions
Using our state-of-the-art digital scanner, we’ll take goop-free impressions of your smile, which will be sent to the SureSmile lab to craft your aligners. We’ll also use this tool to show you exactly what your results will look like after treatment is complete.
Fitting & Next Steps
Once we receive your SureSmile aligners, you’ll return to our office for fitting and adjustments. To ensure beautiful results, your dentist will provide you with detailed instructions on how to wear and care for your new aligners.
Digital Smile Design Experience
Sometimes it can be difficult to know if treatment is worth it without seeing the results first. With Digital Smile Design technology, we’re able to simulate 3D images of your treatment outcomes so you can feel confident about your SureSmile journey. By delivering a hyper-detailed model of your teeth and gums to labs, this tool also ensures precise treatment. Plus, this revolutionary technology quickly captures images with a non-invasive wand, allowing for a far more comfortable process in the chair.
SureSmile Benefits
Thin & Discreet
SureSmile uses a thermoplastic material that is slightly thinner than most aligners, making them even less noticeable.
Ensures Precision
Thanks to our digital impressions, your SureSmile aligners are crafted with the ultimate precision. This design allows them to have more torque control than other leading aligners.
More Affordable
While every treatment plan is different, SureSmile is known to be less expensive than other aligners on the market.
