The The SureSmile Treatment Process
Your First Consultation
At your initial consultation, we will discuss your orthodontic needs and evaluate whether SureSmile treatment is suitable for you.
Your Custom Treatment Plan
We will use a digital scanner to create 3D digital images of your teeth. Then we will map out a treatment plan, including the planned movements of your teeth and the anticipated length of your treatment. Treatment times and results vary from patient to patient.
Your SureSmile Clear Aligners
Your custom-made aligners are made from a clear plastic aligner material. They are clear and less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
Wear your SureSmile clear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day as directed by your dentist, and take them out only to eat, brush, and floss.
Your Progress
As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will shift gradually over the course of treatment. We may recommend that you begin wearing a new set of aligners on a schedule determined by your dentist, and attend periodic checkups.
Retention After Treatment
When your treatment is complete, ask us about a retainer to help maintain your results. Retainers are custom-made to fit your teeth and help maintain tooth position after active treatment.
