SureSmile is the clear way to create your ideal smile. Orthodontic treatment with SureSmile Aligners can help you achieve a new smile faster, easier, and more discretely than you ever thought possible.
What Are SureSmile Aligners?
SureSmile is a series of transparent, removable, and virtually invisible aligners designed to progressively straighten your teeth into their ideal position. This treatment offers distinct advantages over traditional metal braces treatment, namely that SureSmile aligners are:
- Virtually invisible clear aligners
- Comfortable
- Removable
- Works on even complex cases
How Does SureSmile Aligner Work?
- A 3D model of your teeth is created that allows our clinicians to analyze your bite from every angle possible.
- Using this 3D model and our state-of-the-art treatment planning software, the movement of each tooth is calculated with unparalleled accuracy.
- Your doctor determines your optimal and completely customized treatment plan.
- Your custom clear aligners are made using industry-leading clear Essix plastic materials.
Creating a SureSmile plan only takes a few office visits: first to get a scan of your mouth profile, then later to review your customized treatment plan.
What to Expect with SureSmile
With SureSmile, you can expect to receive clear, custom-fitted aligners that are virtually invisible. We will take a scan of your teeth to ensure your aligners fit you perfectly. Once your aligners come in, we will ensure they fit and give you any instructions you need. You will need to remove them for eating and drinking food and brushing.
You will wear aligners for 20 to 22 hours each day. Change them every 1 to 2 weeks. You will also need to go to dental check-ups every 6 to 8 weeks. How long your treatment lasts will depend on your unique needs.
Patient Testimonials
How is SureSmile Different than Any Other Clear Aligner Treatment?
SureSmile stands out from other treatments. First, SureSmile relies on the latest in mouth imaging technology, using a Primescan intraoral scanner that processes up to a million 3D points per second to give us the most accurate image of your mouth. This scan is processed by SureSmile software tools to give us a highly precise rendering of your mouth, which our doctors use to build customized treatment plans to get teeth into their target position with little to no patient discomfort.
Secondly, by partnering with Essix ACE plastics, SureSmile is able to provide laser-cut, polished aligner trays that are so thin, you’ll hardly notice you’re wearing them, much less your friends and family. Plus, it’s been shown that Suresmile aligners can provide 50% more force, allowing them to hold their shape for longer and deliver consistent, predictable results with shorter treatment times.

The Benefits of Straight Teeth
Any orthodontist will be quick to point out that there’s more than just an aesthetic benefit to straightening misaligned teeth. For one thing, well-aligned teeth are easier to clean, resulting in better oral health and less risk of tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease. In addition, straight, less crowded teeth and an aligned jaw reduce the likelihood of tooth damage because of an improper bite or grinding of teeth.
So, although a large motivating factor for seeking a SureSmile provider is often getting a better-looking smile and straighter teeth, we’re happy to help people get both cosmetic and medical benefits from this process. With straighter teeth, you’ll understand the contagious power of a beautiful smile.
SureSmile Aligner FAQs
Can I drink coffee with clear aligners?
No, you shouldn’t drink coffee with your clear aligners. You will need to remove them before drinking any beverage that isn’t water.
How will I look with clear aligners?
You will look as you normally would with clear aligners. Unless someone really looks, your aligners will be virtually invisible as they gently move your teeth to the correct position.
Can clear aligners cause problems?
Aligners can lead to tooth or jaw soreness, irritation to the gums, temporary speech changes, and bad breath. They can also lead to an increased risk of cavities if you don’t stick to a good oral hygiene routine.
Which is better, braces or clear aligners?
Neither braces nor clear aligners are universally better. Depending on the results you’re looking for, your lifestyle, and your priorities, one may be better for you than the other. During your appointment with our team, we’ll help you decide which is better for you.
Do your teeth move back after clear aligners?
Yes, your teeth can move back after youre done with your clear aligners. That’s why wearing your retainers is so important. They will ensure your teeth stay in their new position and you retain your new smile.
How quickly do teeth move with clear aligners?
Your teeth will move a few millimeters every week. Because of that timeline, most patients need to wear their aligners for 6-12 months, but it can depend on the complexity of your dental needs.
Can you brush your clear aligners with toothpaste?
No, we do not recommend brushing or cleaning your clear aligners with toothpaste. The toothpaste has abrasive ingredients in it that can scratch the surface of the aligners and make them look cloudy and dull. Instead, you will want lukewarm water or a special cleaning solution and a soft-bristle brush to clean your aligners.
Do you wear clear aligners when you sleep?
Yes, you do need to wear your aligners when you sleep. Wearing your aligners for 22 hours a day is recommended.
Can you eat with clear aligners on?
No, you will need to remove your clear aligners every time you eat. This ensures you don’t stain the aligners or damage them.
Do clear aligners increase the risk of cavities?
Yes, clear aligners can increase the risk of cavities. They don’t cause cavities directly, but because food, bacteria, and particles can get stuck between teeth and the aligners, it makes cavities more likely.
