How SureSmile Clear Aligners Work
SureSmile uses a series of custom-made aligner trays to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position. Each tray applies controlled pressure to targeted areas, moving teeth step by step.
Your treatment begins with a digital scan, which generates a 3D model of your smile. This model allows our doctors to design a precise treatment roadmap that guides every stage of movement. You’ll switch trays on a scheduled timeline, while our team monitors progress through routine check-ins.
Who Qualifies for SureSmile
Clear aligner therapy is a great option for patients with mild to moderate crowding, spacing issues, orthodontic relapse after previous treatment, or bite concerns that respond well to aligners. Both adults and teens with fully erupted adult teeth often qualify.
What’s Included in Your Treatment
Your SureSmile treatment at our office includes a 3D digital scan, a customized treatment roadmap, a series of clear aligner trays, an aligner case, scheduled progress checks, and refinements if needed. We aim to make your experience smooth, guided, and fully supported at every step.
Why Patients Choose SureSmile
SureSmile is a popular alternative to traditional braces because it offers nearly invisible trays for a discreet experience, smooth and comfortable edges, fewer office visits, predictable digitally planned movement, and strong results with minimal lifestyle disruption. Clear aligners fit easily into daily routines, allowing patients to straighten their smiles with confidence.
Your Treatment Timeline
Your treatment begins with a consultation where we review your goals, evaluate your smile, and confirm your eligibility. Next, a digital 3D scan is taken to show how your teeth are expected to move throughout the process. After this, you’ll receive your aligner trays along with instructions on when and how to wear them. Each day, you’ll wear the trays as directed, removing them only for eating and brushing. Throughout treatment, our doctors will check your progress and make any necessary adjustments. Once your smile transformation is complete, retainers will be used to maintain your final results.
