Want a perfectly straight smile but the idea of going through metal braces isn’t exactly appealing? Not to worry, there is a way to get the best of both worlds!
Clear aligners like SureSmile are a great way to get straight and healthy teeth very discreetly. If you’re interested in this type of treatment, check out 11 things you might not know about SureSmile yet!
Unlike braces which can make eating a lot of foods tricky, you don’t have to say no to your favorite foods and treats during SureSmile treatment. The aligners are taken out when eating, so you can indulge in anything you want.
Forget about uncomfortable wires or unappealing brackets with SureSmile, the aligners are made from clear plastic and virtually undetectable!
SureSmile applies continuous pressure to your teeth, which slowly pulls them into their most optimal position. For the treatment to give you results, you need to wear them for around 22 hours a day, and only take them out to eat and brush your teeth.
SureSmile treatment involves a series of trays that you’ll change every two weeks, depending on how much the teeth need to be repositioned.
SureSmile can offer you faster results. People usually need to wear braces for around 18-24 months on average, while SureSmile patients can get results in as little as 6 months.
Though effective, SureSmile isn’t designed to deal with all alignment issues. You'll need to speak to your dentist to see if these clear aligners are right for you.
There are multiple types of clear aligners, but if you want SureSmile in particular, you’ll need to check if your Mission Viejo dentist offers it.
SureSmile does not protect your teeth against decay or gum disease. Good oral habits are imperative during your treatment.
These clear aligners are more affordable than braces, though the cost of treatment can vary from patient to patient.
The aligners are custom-made based on impressions or digital images of your mouth and are specifically designed to reposition your teeth to a healthier placement.
These clear aligners can be used for everything from diminishing gaps to straightening crooked teeth and even improving your bite.
If you want to find out if SureSmile is the right solution for you, a consultation with Dr. Paul Ferraro is one of the best ways to find out!
