SureSmile Clear Aligner

SureSmile Advantages

Compared to traditional metal braces, SureSmile offers patients several exciting advantages:
 
 

• Improved comfort: Traditional braces require patients to wear metal brackets and wires on their teeth, which can cause discomfort. Brackets can rub uncomfortably against the soft tissue of your cheeks, while wires can poke your gums. With SureSmile’s clear plastic aligners, you can undergo treatment comfortably by wearing an orthodontic appliance custom-made to fit your smile.
• Discreet orthodontic care: No metal brackets and wires means you don’t have to worry about the stigma that many adult patients associate with the “metal mouth” look they remember from their childhoods. SureSmile clear plastic aligners are nearly invisible and blend seamlessly into the natural color and complexion of your smile, allowing you to undergo orthodontic care discreetly.
• Fewer office visits: Traditional braces usually require monthly checkups so the orthodontist can readjust and tighten a patient’s orthodontic appliance. With SureSmile, patients receive their clear plastic aligners in advance and need to simply replace their old aligner with a new one every one to two weeks as directed by Dr. Slater. Fewer office visits help to free up more time in your already busy schedule.
• Eat what you want: Patients who wear traditional braces have a long list of foods they must avoid to prevent damaging their orthodontic appliance. Since patients can remove their SureSmile aligners during meals, you can continue to eat all of your favorite foods during treatment.
• Improved oral hygiene: Brushing and flossing while wearing traditional braces often requires the use of special tools designed to help patients clean under and around their orthodontic appliance. With SureSmile, patients can remove their aligners, allowing them to continue brushing and flossing just like before.
