Discreet, Comfortable Aligners Designed for Real Life

Lasting smiles start with proper function. We take a function-first approach to every smile because we know lasting results start with a healthy foundation. When teeth aren’t aligned properly, cosmetic work can break down quickly or cause new problems. Quick fixes are quick failures. They often lead to even more expensive and invasive treatment down the road.

SureSmile clear aligners offer a reliable solution for correcting alignment without the inconvenience of traditional braces. They’re discreet, comfortable, and designed to fit your life while setting your smile up for long term success.

For many patients who think they need extensive cosmetic work, SureSmile clear aligners may be all it takes to reach their smile goals. By gently moving teeth into better alignment, we can often create a beautiful, natural result without removing healthy enamel or placing permanent restorations. It’s a conservative, cost effective option that protects your natural teeth and helps you avoid the long term commitment of treatments like veneers.

How SureSmile works
at orchard dental associates

Step 1: Digital Imaging and Planning
We start with advanced 3D imaging to get a precise view of your teeth and bite. This allows us to digitally map out your tooth movement and plan your ideal results from the very beginning.

Step 2: Custom Aligners, Made Just for You
Using your digital model, we create a series of clear, comfortable aligners that are designed to gradually move your teeth into proper alignment.

Step 3: Wear Your Aligners Daily
You’ll wear each set of aligners for about 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, or brush your teeth.

Step 4: Progress at Your Own Pace
You’ll switch to a new set of aligners every few weeks from the comfort of home, as your teeth continue shifting into place.

Step 5: Check In Every 5 Weeks
Visit us about every five weeks so we can track your progress, make adjustments if needed, and ensure everything is moving smoothly.

Step 6: See Results Fast, Finish Strong
Most treatments take 12 to 18 months, but many patients start seeing results in just a few weeks. We’ll guide you through each step.

How do SureSmile clear aligners work?

SureSmile aligners are custom made, transparent trays that gently and gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Using advanced 3D imaging, we create a precise treatment plan, and each set of aligners is designed to move your teeth step by step toward your ideal smile.

What dental issues can SureSmile treat?

SureSmile is effective for correcting mild to moderate orthodontic concerns, including:

Crowded teeth

Gaps between teeth

Overbites and underbites

Crossbites

Open bites

During your consultation, we'll assess your specific needs to determine if SureSmile is the right solution for you.

How long does treatment with SureSmile take?

Treatment duration varies based on individual cases, but many patients complete their SureSmile journey in 6 to 18 months. You'll start noticing improvements in just a few weeks.

How often should I wear my aligners?

For optimal results, wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, drinking (except water), brushing, and flossing.

How does SureSmile compare to Invisalign?

Both SureSmile and Invisalign are reputable clear aligner systems. SureSmile utilizes advanced digital planning and offers precise, customized aligners. Some patients find SureSmile aligners to be more comfortable and appreciate the streamlined treatment process. We'll discuss both options during your consultation to determine the best fit for your needs.

Will wearing aligners affect my daily life?

Aligners are designed to be discreet and comfortable. Most people won't notice you're wearing them, and they won't interfere with your speech. Since they're removable, you can eat your favorite foods and maintain your regular oral hygiene routine with ease.
