SureSmile Clear Aligners provide a discreet, comfortable, and effective method for straightening teeth. Below, our dentist, Dr. Matt Gaebelein, answers some frequently asked questions about SureSmile Clear Aligners to help you understand how this treatment can benefit you.
What are SureSmile Clear Aligners?
SureSmile Clear Aligners are a series of custom-made, clear plastic trays that gradually move teeth into the appropriate positions. Teens and adults will find these aligners convenient, as they are nearly invisible and can be taken out for eating, brushing, and flossing, unlike traditional braces.
How do SureSmile Clear Aligners work?
Your teeth are subjected to gradual, controlled pressure when using SureSmile Clear Aligners. Each set is worn for about two weeks before being replaced with the next set in the series. Over time, these aligners gradually shift your teeth into the proper alignment according to your dentist’s treatment plan.
What are the benefits of SureSmile Clear Aligners over traditional braces?
SureSmile Clear Aligners offer several advantages over traditional braces, including:
- Discreet Appearance: The aligners are clear, making them less noticeable than metal braces.
- Comfort: The aligners are made of smooth plastic, which makes them more comfortable and less likely to irritate your cheeks and gums.
- Convenience: The aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, allowing for better oral hygiene and fewer dietary restrictions.
- Predictable Results: SureSmile technology uses advanced software to create a precise treatment plan, resulting in predictable and efficient tooth movement.
How long does treatment with SureSmile Clear Aligners take?
The complexity of your case determines how long your SureSmile Clear Aligners treatment will take. On average, treatment can take anywhere from six months to two years. During your initial consultation, Dr. Gaebelein will provide an estimated treatment timeline based on your specific needs.
Are SureSmile Clear Aligners suitable for everyone?
Tooth crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites are just a few of the orthodontic conditions SureSmile Clear Aligners can treat successfully. However, they may not be suitable for all cases, particularly severe orthodontic issues. A consultation with Dr. Gaebelein will determine if you are a good candidate for SureSmile Clear Aligners.
How do I care for my SureSmile Clear Aligners?
Caring for your SureSmile Clear Aligners is simple. Rinse them with lukewarm water and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush to keep them clean. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp use. Store your aligners in their protective case to prevent damage when not in use or loss.
