Are you someone who is interested in straightening your teeth but isn’t interested in dealing with the hassle of wires and brackets, or in other words, traditional braces? Maybe you’re imagining standing at the head of a meeting, presenting your work, and flashing a mouth full of metal to your colleagues. Maybe the idea of going on a date or to a social engagement with metal braces isn’t appealing. Regardless, there are more discreet options available for people with mild to moderate alignment issues. Clear aligners, such as SureSmile, are customizable, BPA-free plastic trays that gently straighten your teeth. Some of the benefits of SureSmile aligners include:
- Discretion: No one will know you are straightening your teeth
- Ease of use: You can remove them while eating or brushing and flossing
- Comfort: They won’t poke or irritate your gums like braces
What is SureSmile?
SureSmile clear aligners are a system for straightening your teeth over time. They are a custom-made set of plastic trays designed to slowly move your teeth into their optimal position. These aligners fit closely over your teeth and gently shift your teeth as you change sets every couple of weeks. You’ll wear each set for around two weeks, 20-22 hours per day, and only take them out for eating, drinking, and brushing/flossing.
SureSmile aligners are perfect for people who want to straighten their teeth without the look and discomfort of traditional braces. At Poff Dental Associates, we use digital treatment planning to plot out your entire course of straightening, so you can see your projected results before you begin treatment.
How Does SureSmile Work?
First, you’ll start off with a consultation with one of our experienced dentists at Poff Dental Associates. They’ll do a thorough evaluation of your teeth and help you decide which course of treatment is the best for your individual needs.
If you decide to undergo SureSmile treatment, your dental team will use 3-D imaging to scan your mouth and input the results into specialized software. This allows your team to plan and create a series of aligners that progressively move your teeth over time.
What Do Clear Aligners Look like?
Clear aligners are true to their name. They’re clear and almost invisible! SureSmile aligners are made using medical-grade plastic and fit closely over your teeth.
