SureSmile® is a revolutionary system that offers a quicker and more efficient path to a beautifully aligned smile when compared to traditional dental braces. In fact, it has the potential to reduce overall treatment times by as much as 40 percent with its enhanced precision technologies.
If you are considering treatment with SureSmile®, you might be wondering if you can do this from your own home or if you need to see an orthodontist. While you don’t necessarily need to see an orthodontist, you must see a registered trained SureSmile® provider. These providers can be dentists or orthodontists.
What You Need to Know About SureSmile®
Even though SureSmile® is different than traditional braces, it still requires the skills and experience of a trained dental professional from beginning to end. The good news is that this treatment can be more convenient and fit better into your busy lifestyle as it requires less frequent orthodontic treatment visits than traditional braces.
The SureSmile® technology grants dentists a comprehensive 3D view of the teeth, enabling them to plan treatment with unparalleled accuracy. Additionally, the clear aligners themselves are crafted by a computer program and respond to body heat for optimal functionality.
How Can SureSmile® Benefit You?
SureSmile® has numerous advantages for patients. The benefits of SureSmile® over traditional braces include the following:
- Enhanced esthetics compared to metal brackets and wire
- Less frequent visits to the dentist’s office for treatments
- Diminished soreness and discomfort
- Enhanced accuracy and precision leading to superior results in shorter time
Frequently, individuals with traditional braces dread adjustment appointments due to associated pain and discomfort. Thankfully, SureSmile® significantly reduces the need for such appointments and is ultimately more comfortable overall. SureSmile® delivers outstanding results regardless of age, provided the individual has generally healthy teeth and gums.
What Does Getting SureSmile® Aligners Involve?
Initially, your dentist will conduct a thorough examination of the mouth for any signs of decay or disease. Any identified irregularities will need to be addressed before beginning SureSmile® treatment.
The first phase of orthodontic treatment centers around careful planning. Utilizing advanced technology like a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) device and an intraoral scanner, a three-dimensional model of the teeth is generated. The resulting images are remarkably detailed, offering precise insight into the position of each tooth, root, nerve, and blood vessel.
With the aid of cutting-edge 3D software, the provider can simulate how various treatments will influence the alignment of the teeth. Every angle is scrutinized, and diverse approaches are considered. The software’s sophistication allows the provider to project the final tooth positions, offering a glimpse into your future smile.
