If you have crooked or gapped teeth, you may find it difficult to smile and project confidence in social and work situations. However, an imperfect smile is more than just a cosmetic or social concern. When your teeth don’t fit well together, this can lead to the improper chewing and biting of food, which can cause eventual damage to the enamel of your teeth ,and compromise your dental health.

Fortunately, technology continues to advance and provide more treatment options for improving your smile. You may be considering clear aligners, which allow you to perfect your smile discreetly at a much faster rate than traditional braces. However, choosing the right brand of clear aligners can be a confusing affair. At our dental practice, we offer SureSmile clear aligners because of its many unique advantages. While all clear aligners from competing systems are removable and invisible when worn, there are real differences when it comes to convenience, wearability, and results.

One of the biggest advantages of SureSmile is its advanced technology in producing customized aligners with superior fit and comfort. To create your personalized treatment plan, images, scans, and a 3D digital impression of your face and teeth are obtained and processed with SureSmile’s innovative software. These will then be used to carefully map out the movement of each tooth, and to help create precisely molded aligners that are gentle, yet fast and effective in achieving the smile you want.

Many patients often have a hard time sticking with a clear aligner treatment plan because of the discomfort and irritation they may feel from wearing aligners all day. In contrast, SureSmile aligners fit comfortably against your teeth and gums, while applying firm but gentle pressure to efficiently straighten your bite. Other benefits of SureSmile include:

• Fewer adjustments compared to other clear aligner treatment systems

• Higher effectiveness and versatility in treating more difficult cases (moderately severe overbites or underbites, big tooth gaps, crooked or crowded teeth, and other bite issues) compared to other clear aligner systems

• The use of advanced-grade materials in creating custom aligners

• Significantly faster results compared to metal braces

The length of your treatment time will depend on many factors, such as the severity of your bite issue and your treatment goals. To achieve the best results in the shortest amount of time, it is strongly recommended that you wear SureSmile aligners all day and night, and only take them out to eat and brush your teeth. The cost of SureSmile treatment is will vary for everyone, because every case is different. Treatment to move one or two crooked teeth will naturally cost less than treatment to correct severely overcrowded teeth. That said, SureSmile often costs less than other competing clear aligners and are generally covered under many insurance plans. 

If you’re tired of hiding your smile, or if your dysfunctional bite puts you at risk for serious dental problems, we can help. Reserve your consultation today, and see how SureSmile can help you achieve the smile of your dreams.
