How SureSmile Works
Instead of guiding your teeth into their ideal places with metal brackets and wires, SureSmile uses a custom series of clear aligners. You’ll wear each one for 20-22 hours a day and for 1-2 weeks at a time. Periodically throughout the process, you’ll come to our office so we can monitor your progress and make sure that you’re on track with your treatment plan. Then, once we’ve achieved the desired results, we will provide you with a custom retainer so your teeth don’t drift out of place in the years to come.
Who SureSmile Can Help
Fortunately, SureSmile is quite versatile. In fact, this innovative orthodontic treatment can correct mild to moderate cases of the following issues:
Crowded Teeth
Unfortunately, overcrowding can have a negative impact on your self-esteem and your oral health. So, it’s best to explore your treatment options, like SureSmile! If we decide together that this is the best solution, then your teeth will gently be guided into their ideal positions with clear, comfortable aligners.
Gaps Between Teeth
While some patients are having trouble because there isn’t enough room in their mouth, others are struggling because there is too much space, resulting in a noticeable gap. Fortunately, clear aligners are usually still an option. So, don’t just assume your only choice is to wear metal braces!
Bite Alignment
SureSmile can also be used to correct common bite problems, including overbites and underbites. So, if you are struggling to smile confidently, chew properly, or enunciate clearly because your bite isn’t aligned, schedule a consultation with us so we can determine if you’re a good candidate.
Benefits of SureSmile
If you want to pursue a straighter smile, then you have more options than ever before! Although this is good news, it can be overwhelming with so many different orthodontic treatments to choose from. To help, we’ve dedicated this next section to covering a few noteworthy reasons patients and dentists alike love SureSmile.
The Aligners Are Basically Invisible
Let’s start with one of the most popular reasons patients choose SureSmile: the aligners are basically invisible once they are seated in place. This is largely because they are crafted from smooth, see-through plastic. However, the fact that they have a low profile, there aren’t any metal components, and they are custom-made to fit the contours of your teeth certainly helps, too!
It’s Easy to Care for Your Smile
With traditional braces, it can be difficult to effectively clean your teeth with metal brackets and wires in the way. That’s why many patients end up buying interproximal toothbrushes and pre-threaded floss. Fortunately, that’s not necessary with SureSmile because the aligners are removable. So, all you need to do is take them off. Then, you can proceed with your oral hygiene regimen as usual.
The Average Treatment Timeline Is Shorter
Typically, it takes between two and three years for patients to achieve the results they desire with traditional orthodontics. SureSmile, on the other hand, has an average treatment timeline of only 12-18 months. So, if you want a straight smile in time for a special event, like your wedding, then you should consider choosing clear aligners over metal braces.
There Aren’t Monthly Adjustment Appointments
With traditional braces, there are monthly adjustment appointments. With SureSmile, the progress visits with our dental team in Orange are usually every 6-8 weeks instead. That’s because you’ll be given several sets of aligners at a time. This allows you to progress through portions of your treatment plan at home and spend less time in the treatment chair overall.
You’re Free to Eat Your Favorite Foods
Lastly, straightening your teeth with clear aligners in Orange won’t require you to completely change your diet. In fact, as long as you take them off before eating or drinking anything (other than water, of course), you can enjoy all of your favorites throughout your orthodontic treatment.
Important reminder: Tooth decay, gum disease, and other common oral health problems can derail your treatment plan. For that reason, we recommend limiting your intake of sugary treats, like soda and ice cream. Instead, focus on filling your plate with nutrient-dense foods, like seasonal fruits and vegetables.
How Much Does SureSmile Cost?
The cost of clear aligner treatment varies depending on several factors, including the severity of your misalignment. That’s why we can’t provide you with an estimate of the price without completing a comprehensive oral exam. Once we’ve confirmed that you’re a good candidate and solidified the details of your treatment plan, we can share the cost and discuss the different financial solutions that are available. For example, our in-house dental plan comes with $500 off SureSmile!
