SureSmile Clear Aligners are a type of orthodontic treatment designed to straighten teeth discreetly using clear, removable trays. They are an alternative to traditional braces and work similarly to Invisalign. Here are some key details about SureSmile Clear Aligners:
Key Features:
- Custom Fit: Each set of aligners is custom-made using 3D digital scans of the patient’s teeth.
- Comfortable: Made from smooth, BPA-free plastic to minimize discomfort.
- Discreet: Nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teens.
- Removable: Can be taken out for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene.
- Effective: Designed to correct mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including crowding, spacing, and bite misalignment.
How They Work:
- Consultation – A dentist or orthodontist assesses your teeth, to determine if you are an eligible candidate for SureSmile.
- Digital Impressions – 3D scans or molds are taken to create a precise treatment plan for your desired look.
- Custom Aligners – A series of aligners are made to gradually shift teeth into their desired position.
- Wearing the Aligners – Patients wear each set of aligners for about 1-2 weeks before switching to the next set in the series.
- Checkups – Regular visits to the dentist or orthodontist ensure progress is on track.
