What Are the Benefits of SureSmile Aligners?

Posted .

If you have crooked, misaligned teeth or gaps in your smile, you may feel self-conscious when smiling in pictures or meeting new people. However, you may be hesitant to get traditional braces due to the invasive, lengthy nature of the treatment. With modern solutions like SureSmile aligners, you can achieve an even, balanced smile with clear, custom-made trays that feel more comfortable than braces and allow you to eat and drink anything you want. 

At Birch Family Dental, we proudly offer Wyoming patients SureSmile aligners as a discreet solution to straighten teeth and boost confidence. Our board-certified dentists utilize the latest technology and techniques to provide the highest-quality services possible, so you can rest assured you are getting the best care. Moreover, we communicate with you throughout the SureSmile treatment so you always know what to expect and how to maintain your brand-new smile.

6 Benefits of SureSmile Aligners

With SureSmile aligners, patients receive several sets of custom-made trays they change out every few weeks. These trays are designed to fit the teeth perfectly as they shift throughout the treatment. This solution is especially popular amongst teens and older adults who want a more discreet look. Additionally, clear aligners offer patients the following benefits: 

Removability

With traditional braces, you cannot eat certain foods because they will stick to the wires. This can be frustrating and challenging to deal with for months or years. SureSmile aligners are removable, so you don’t have the same restrictions. You can take your trays out when you want to eat or drink, so you don’t have to worry about avoiding certain foods or drinks during your treatment. 

Comfortable

SureSmile aligners are made of smooth plastic and fit securely for a comfortable fit, unlike traditional braces that have sharp edges and wires poking your mouth. While you can expect mild soreness for the first few days of wearing your aligners, your teeth quickly get used to the trays, making for a much more comfortable experience.

Better Dental Hygiene

Because SureSmile aligners are removable, you can take them off when brushing and flossing your teeth. This allows you to maintain better oral hygiene throughout your treatment, which is challenging with traditional braces, as bits of food can get stuck around the brackets, making them hard to keep clean.

Less Invasive

Clear aligners have a much less invasive imaging process than traditional braces, thanks to technological advances. Instead of taking impressions of your teeth with messy materials, we use 3D scanning to take a full scan of your mouth, which gets translated into prints and used to make your custom trays.

Shorter Treatment Period

While patients with traditional braces achieve their desired results in 16 to 18 months, the typical SureSmile treatment takes about a year due to the precise movement of the teeth. If you wear your aligners for the recommended number of hours each day, you can get the smile of your dreams in no time.

Boost Confidence

Having crooked teeth can impact your self-confidence, especially since smiles are often the first thing people notice. With clear aligners, you can feel confident throughout the treatment due to the clear and discreet look and achieve a smile you are proud to show off.
