Questions and Advice on SureSmile® Clear Aligners

Is SureSmile® right for me?

SureSmile® Clear Aligners are a highly effective solution for addressing various bite problems, such as crowding, gaps between teeth, underbite (where the upper teeth are positioned behind the lower jaw), overbite (where the upper front teeth partially cover the lower front teeth), and crossbite (where one or more upper teeth fit inside the lower teeth). With SureSmile® Clear Aligners, you can achieve the desired dental alignment and improve the functionality and aesthetics of your smile.

How long will treatment take with Clear Aligners?

The duration of treatment for SureSmile® Clear Aligners depends on individual factors, including the specific alignment needs and desired goals of each patient. While treatment times may vary, on average, the process typically spans between 6 to 18 months. During this period, the aligners work gradually to shift the teeth into their desired positions, resulting in an improved bite and a change in your smile.

Can I eat and drink while wearing my Aligners?

Great news – you don’t need to give up your favorite foods while you’re in treatment! However, you do need to remove your aligners when eating and drinking all liquids except for cool water to retain their fit and prevent discoloration. Simply remove your aligners to eat and drink all the foods and beverages you typically enjoy, then brush your teeth before putting your SureSmile® Clear Aligners back in place.
