SureSmile® offers a discreet, removable, and digitally optimized way to straighten teeth using advanced aligner technology.
SureSmile® is a system of clear, custom-fabricated aligners designed to move teeth efficiently and predictably. Each aligner is crafted from smooth, medical-grade plastic and engineered to fit closely against the teeth for a comfortable, low-profile feel. Because the aligners are virtually invisible, they’re ideal for adults and teens seeking orthodontic correction without the appearance of metal brackets and wires.
Unlike fixed braces, SureSmile® aligners can be removed briefly throughout the day, making brushing, flossing, and eating significantly easier. Treatment begins with digital scans and 3D planning software that allows your dentist to visualize tooth movement in detail and design an optimized series of aligners. Each aligner reflects a calculated step toward your final result, ensuring controlled, progressive changes.
SureSmile® is effective for many alignment concerns, including mild to moderate crowding, rotations, and spacing issues. While the system is highly versatile, some complex bite conditions may require alternative or combination orthodontic approaches. After a comprehensive evaluation, your dentist will determine whether SureSmile® is the most appropriate solution for your needs.
Your SureSmile® journey begins with a full consultation, examination, and digital scan of your teeth. These records are used to create a detailed 3D model of your bite, which forms the foundation for a customized digital treatment plan. SureSmile’s planning technology helps your dentist map out each planned tooth movement and estimate the treatment timeline.
When your custom aligners are ready, you’ll wear each set for a prescribed amount of time—commonly one to two weeks—before moving on to the next aligner. Small, precise changes built into each tray guide your teeth gradually into their planned positions. Periodic check-ins allow your dentist to monitor your progress and make refinements if needed.
Daily wear is essential for success. Aligners should be worn for the recommended number of hours each day, and removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and routine oral hygiene. With consistent use and regular monitoring, many patients complete treatment smoothly and with minimal interruption to their daily routines.
Discretion is one of SureSmile’s biggest advantages. The clear aligner material makes them difficult to detect in photos, conversations, or professional environments. Because the aligners are removable, brushing and flossing remain simple, reducing the risk of gum irritation or plaque buildup associated with traditional braces.
Comfort is another key benefit. SureSmile® aligners are smooth and carefully contoured, eliminating the friction, poking wires, and bracket irritation patients often experience with metal appliances. This can be especially reassuring for active patients or those involved in sports and performance activities.
SureSmile® also leverages sophisticated digital planning and precision manufacturing. This integration supports more accurate tooth movement, fewer surprises during treatment, and a streamlined experience from start to finish. When combined with an experienced clinical approach, SureSmile® often provides predictable, highly aesthetic results.
SureSmile® is an excellent choice for adults and teens who want a nearly invisible orthodontic option without traditional braces. It works well for common alignment concerns such as crowding, spacing, rotated teeth, and select bite issues. Ideal candidates are committed to wearing their aligners consistently and attending periodic follow-up visits.
However, SureSmile® may not be suitable for every orthodontic challenge. Severe bite discrepancies, significant jaw alignment issues, or complex tooth movements may require alternative or adjunctive therapies. A diagnostic appointment—including digital imaging and a clinical evaluation—will help determine whether SureSmile® is the best approach for your goals.
Your dental team will review realistic expectations, likely timelines, and any potential refinements needed throughout treatment. This transparent guidance ensures you understand how SureSmile® works and what is required to achieve optimal results.
Because SureSmile® aligners are removable, maintaining good oral hygiene is straightforward. Brush and floss normally, and rinse your aligners each time you take them out. Clean them gently with a soft brush and avoid using hot water or abrasive products, which can distort or scratch the aligner surface.
Retention is essential after active treatment. Teeth naturally shift over time, so wearing retainers as instructed is the best way to protect your results. Your dentist will recommend the retainer style and schedule that best matches your needs, whether that’s clear removable retainers or fixed retainers in select cases.
Routine dental visits remain important to support your overall oral health and maintain the stability of your new smile. By following your home-care instructions and staying engaged with your treatment plan, SureSmile® can deliver lasting, functional, and beautiful results.
