SureSmile Clear Aligners: The Invisible, Confident Way to Straighten Your Smile

Ready to transform your smile without the hassle of metal braces? SureSmile clear aligners offer a comfortable, nearly invisible way to achieve the straight teeth you've always wanted. Backed by Dentsply Sirona's decades of dental expertise, SureSmile has helped over one million patients worldwide discover the confidence that comes with a beautiful, healthy smile.

What Are SureSmile Clear Aligners?

SureSmile clear aligners are custom-made, transparent trays that gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. Unlike traditional metal braces, these removable aligners are virtually invisible when worn, making them perfect for adults and teens who want to straighten their teeth discreetly.

Each aligner is crafted using advanced 3D digital technology that maps your unique smile journey from start to finish. This precise approach ensures predictable results while allowing you to maintain your normal lifestyle throughout treatment.

How SureSmile Clear Aligners Work

Your SureSmile journey begins with a simple consultation where your doctor evaluates your teeth and discusses your smile goals. Using digital scanning technology, they create a detailed 3D model of your mouth - no messy impressions required

The SureSmile digital lab then designs a personalized treatment plan showing exactly how your teeth will move with each aligner set. You'll wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks before progressing to the next stage. Most patients wear their aligners for 20-22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, drinking, and cleaning.

Benefits of Choosing SureSmile Treatment

Nearly Invisible Appearance

Made from clear, smooth plastic, SureSmile aligners are virtually undetectable when worn. You can smile confidently throughout your treatment without feeling self-conscious about your orthodontic care.

Comfortable and Removable

Without metal brackets or wires, SureSmile aligners are more comfortable than traditional braces. You can remove them for special occasions, important meetings, or when eating your favorite foods.

Predictable Results

Advanced digital planning technology allows your doctor to show you your expected results before treatment begins. Clinical studies show that 75% of SureSmile cases require no refinements, demonstrating the system's accuracy.

Convenient Lifestyle Integration

SureSmile treatment fits seamlessly into your daily routine. Regular check-ups are typically spaced further apart than traditional orthodontic visits, saving you time.

Professional Supervision

Unlike direct-to-consumer aligners, SureSmile treatment is always supervised by a qualified dental professional who monitors your progress and ensures optimal results.

SureSmile vs. Traditional Braces

Appearance

SureSmile aligners are virtually invisible, while metal braces are clearly visible and can affect your appearance during treatment.

Comfortable and Removable

Clear aligners eliminate the mouth irritation often caused by metal brackets and wires. The smooth plastic surface is gentle on your cheeks and gums.

Food Restrictions

With removable aligners, you can continue enjoying all your favorite foods. Traditional braces require avoiding sticky, hard, or chewy foods that might damage the hardware.

Oral Hygiene

Maintaining good oral hygiene is easier with removable aligners. You can brush and floss normally, while braces require special cleaning techniques and tools.

Treatment Time

Many SureSmile cases complete in less time than traditional braces while achieving comparable results.

Frequently Asked Questions About SureSmile

How long does SureSmile treatment take?

Treatment time varies by case complexity, but most patients complete their journey in 6-18 months. Your doctor will provide a personalized timeline during consultation.

Can I eat and drink with my aligners in?

Remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining and damage to the aligners.

How often do I need dental visits during treatment?

Most patients visit their provider every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress and receive new aligners. This is typically less frequent than traditional braces adjustments.

What happens if I lose an aligner?

Contact Premier Smiles immediately if you lose an aligner. We may recommend wearing your previous set or moving to the next set, depending on your treatment stage.

Will SureSmile affect my speech?

Most patients adapt to their aligners within a few days with minimal speech changes. Any initial lisp typically resolves quickly as you adjust to wearing the aligners.

Can I play sports with SureSmile aligners?

Yes, you can participate in most sports while wearing aligners. For contact sports, consider using a mouthguard over your aligners for additional protection.
