SureSmile is an FDA-approved clear aligner system that is used to straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces, which use metal wires and brackets to move teeth, SureSmile uses clear plastic aligners that are virtually invisible. In addition, these aligners are also removable, so you can eat the foods you love and brush and floss your teeth with ease.
The benefits of SureSmile clear aligners include:
- Virtually Invisible — Unlike traditional braces, SureSmile’s clear plastic aligners are nearly undetectable, so you can smile with confidence knowing that your orthodontic treatment is not on display for everyone to see.
- Removable — Since the aligners are removable, you can take them out to eat the foods you love and to brush and floss your teeth with ease.
- Comfortable — Traditional braces can often cause discomfort due to the metal wires and brackets rubbing against your gums and cheeks. SureSmile’s clear aligners are made of smooth plastic that is gentle on your gums and cheeks, making for a more comfortable orthodontic experience.
- Fast — On average, treatment time with SureSmile is six to nine months, significantly shorter than traditional braces, which can take up to two years or longer.
If you are considering these clear aligners, here are some things to keep in mind:
- Clear aligners are not recommended for people with very complex dental alignment issues. Our dentist or can help you determine if clear aligners are right for you.
- You must wear your aligners for or at least 22 hours per day to be effective. This means that you will need to be diligent about wearing them as prescribed.
- You may experience some temporary discomfort when you first start wearing them. This is normal and should subside within a few days.
- You will need to brush and floss regularly to keep your teeth and gums healthy while wearing clear aligners.
