How SureSmile Works
Rather than using metal brackets and wires, SureSmile involves clear aligners that are worn over the teeth. These aligners apply focused, gentle pressure to the teeth, encouraging them to shift into straighter, healthier positions. You’ll wear these sets of aligners for a couple of weeks at a time, advancing to new sets to match your teeth’s progress. The aligners are removable, but they still need to be worn for around 22 hours every day in order to perfectly realign your smile in a timely manner, which usually takes 12 to 18 months on average.
Indications for SureSmile
Typically, SureSmile is used for mild to moderate cases of malocclusion. Here are a few of the common issues that they can often easily correct:
Crowded Teeth
Believe it or not, having crowded teeth can trigger issues like tooth decay and gum disease since it complicates oral hygiene. Luckily, SureSmile can bring your teeth into proper alignment, so that you’re easily able to keep them pristine and healthy.
Gaps Between Teeth
Gaps between teeth can diminish one’s self-confidence but also lead to a higher risk of cavities and gum disease. SureSmile can easily guide your teeth together, addressing spacing issues in the process.
Bite Alignment
A misaligned bite can place excess pressure on your temporomandibular joints (TMJ), which connect your jaw to your skull. This can cause issues like bruxism, or teeth grinding/clenching, which in turn triggers damage to these important joints. Thankfully, SureSmile can correct many types of bite issues like overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
The Benefits of SureSmile
Choosing to straighten your teeth with SureSmile will grant you all kinds of amazing benefits, such as:
- Speedy Treatment – On average, braces take two to three years to straighten teeth. On the other hand, SureSmile can typically be completed in 12 to 18 months, often with fewer check-in appointments.
- Discreetness – SureSmile aligners are made from a special type of plastic that’s transparent, meaning that no one will be able to tell you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment.
- Convenience – Since SureSmile aligners are fully removable, patients aren’t limited by dietary restrictions during their treatment. Plus, the aligners also make caring for your teeth quite simple.
How Much Does SureSmile Cost?
SureSmile isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment, and you can expect your trays to be fully customized for your specific needs. This means that the total cost of SureSmile varies from patient to patient; those with more severe orthodontic issues often tend to require more expensive treatment than patients with very mild misalignment. During your visit, we’ll be able to identify what problems are affecting your teeth, so that we can begin drawing up your treatment plan and providing you with associated cost estimates. Our team is here to help you get an accurate estimate, and we’ll also review all of the financial solutions available to you – we want this process to be as stress-free as possible for you, after all!
