SureSmile® Clear Aligners

What you should know about SureSmile

SureSmile aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth, which means they're more comfortable and effective than one-size-fits-all braces. SureSmile aligners are comfortable to wear and can be removed for eating and cleaning. They also require fewer office visits compared to traditional braces.

The benefits of SureSmile

Did you know? Properly aligned teeth also reduce your risk for tooth decay and gum disease as well as boost your self-confidence!

How does it work?

This is where SureSmile comes in: when teeth are properly aligned, the gums fit more securely around the teeth and better protect against unwanted decay and disease, eliminating a large number of these problems. One of the strongest and healthiest defenses against unwanted dental problems is a straight smile!

Benefits of SureSmile

• SureSmile is rarely noticed by others
• You can eat what you want during treatment
• The trays are smooth and comfortable to wear
• You don't have to worry about poking wires or lip-snagging brackets
• The trays can be removed whenever you want
• Treatment is typically faster than braces

SureSmile vs. braces: which is better for me?

While SureSmile and braces both straighten teeth, they each do so in very different ways and with different results. Knowing whether SureSmile or braces are a better option for you largely depends on the health of your teeth, your commitment to treatment, your timeline and budget, and the advice given to you from a dental expert.

If your teeth alignment issues are minimal (meaning you simply have crooked teeth), SureSmile is likely the best option for you. Crooked teeth can be straightened up to 50% faster with SureSmile than with traditional braces.
