SureSmile Orthodontics
SureSmile aligners are an alternative to metal braces. Instead of using a system of brackets and wires to slowly shift your teeth, SureSmile uses clear aligners that look and work similarly to removable retainers.
During visits to our office, we take custom scans of your mouth. From these scans, personalized plastic trays are made just for you. These trays are worn over your teeth like a retainer. And, because they are clear, they are nearly invisible. They are also removable, so it’s easy to take them out to brush your teeth or eat your favorite things.
The clear aligners slowly shift your teeth. You’ll get a new set of aligners every couple of weeks to gradually move your teeth to their desired position.
SureSmile aligners have many advantages including the following:
While SureSmile isn’t right for everyone, it could be an effective treatment for you.
Am I a Good Candidate for SureSmile?
The SureSmile system is best for people with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns. If you have more extensive or complex problems, you’ll want to work with an orthodontist as you may need traditional braces or other treatments.
A few other factors to consider before receiving SureSmile braces include that:
- You’ll need to wear them for around 20–22 hours a day to see results
- You should be over the age of 18
- You should have generally healthy teeth and gums
Invisible braces are a great choice for our patients who are interested in a more efficient way to gain a straighter smile. Our dentist will help you make certain this is a good treatment for your smile. The easiest way to know if you’re a good candidate for SureSmile is to set up an appointment with Dr. DeStefano.
Six Month Smiles
Six Month Smiles® short-term braces are a great option for quickly straightening your teeth. Six Month Smiles can give you a straight, beautiful smile in just a few months—the average treatment time is only six months compared with the 18 to 30 months typically needed with traditional orthodontics.
This unique process uses tried-and-true techniques with a modern twist to give you excellent results in less time. Because your orthodontic treatment time is shorter, the procedure is more comfortable and hygienic, so your smile will stay healthy.
Six Month Smiles is not only fast, it is also discreet. Six Month Smiles is available with clear brackets and tooth-colored wires that are barely visible in your mouth. This means that many people might not even notice that you are wearing braces, and your teeth will be straighter in less time. In addition, Six Month Smiles is very affordable and typically costs less than traditional braces, dental veneers, or clear aligner therapy.
