What is SureSmile?
The SureSmile orthodontic system uses clear aligners instead of metal brackets and wires to straighten teeth. Dr. Williams will use 3D imaging technology to plan your treatment and create the aligners needed for your orthodontic procedure.
How does the SureSmile system work?
SureSmile aligners are created from impressions of your teeth to ensure a snug, comfortable fit. When worn, they exert modified pressure on your teeth to move them gradually into a straighter position. Your series has numerous sets of aligners, each of which is needed to complete your treatment. Ideally, you should wear each set an average of 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them primarily for eating and brushing your teeth. You’ll rotate your aligners every two weeks to keep your teeth moving until your smile goals are achieved.Â
What are the advantages of SureSmile aligners?
SureSmile replaces the metal hardware of traditional braces with smooth, clear aligners made out of a flexible plastic material. The aligners offer greater comfort, convenience, and ease. As the aligners are transparent, they don’t stand out on your teeth, making your treatment discreet. Unlike metal braces permanently attached to your teeth, SureSmile aligners can be removed. When you want to eat, remove the aligners and enjoy your meal. The same goes for brushing and flossing your teeth. SureSmile adapts to your lifestyle to make orthodontics a smooth, positive experience. Â
Is the SureSmile process painful?
SureSmile isn’t painful per se, but you may feel some soreness initially due to the pressure placed on your teeth. That shows your aligners are working. Once you adjust to this pressure, your discomfort will cease. You can take OTC pain medication during the adjustment phase if needed.
How long will my treatment take?
That depends on the problems that need to be fixed and your commitment to wearing the aligners as instructed. Average treatment times range from a year to 18 months. After evaluating your teeth and mapping out your treatment, Dr. Williams can give you a tentative timeframe for completing it.Â
What orthodontic problems can SureSmile fix?
SureSmile can correct various orthodontic issues like traditional braces, including crooked teeth, crossbites, overbites, underbites, open bites, uneven spacing, and overcrowding. Dr. Williams will let you know if your problem is too severe for aligners and requires traditional braces to fix.
