SureSmile® Clear Aligners

While braces are still a solid choice, they’re not everyone’s ideal form of orthodontic treatment. Nowadays, that’s completely fine! SureSmile® clear aligners are efficient and discreet when it comes to the task of straightening teeth. All you need to do is pop them in place every day and follow the plan created by our Mullins, SC, SureSmile dentist.

Here’s more information about SureSmile and how it can benefit you.

What Are SureSmile Aligners?

If you’re not already familiar with the concept of clear aligners, you wear them much like you’d wear a retainer or mouth guard. Main difference, however, is that they are built to correct crowded, spaced, or crooked teeth. Varying degrees of bite issues such as overbites, underbites, crossbites, and more can also be remedied with aligners.

Dr. Blevins recommends SureSmile to teen and adult patients that are willing to commit to wearing the aligners for 20-22 hours a day. Not wearing your aligners as instructed can result in unwanted delays to your progress and possible corrections.

Benefits of SureSmile clear aligners include:

• Fewer and faster checkup visits compared to metal braces
• No dietary restrictions as the aligners can be removed for eating
• Nearly invisible appearance
• An increased level of control with regards to your own treatment
• Easier oral hygiene without wires or brackets in the way

How Do SureSmile Clear Aligners Work?

Compared to traditional metal braces, SureSmile aligners work in a similar way (minus the brackets and wires, of course). The top and bottom trays are placed over the teeth, and much like braces, exert controlled pressure or force to gradually move teeth into position.

Before moving forward with treatment, Dr. Blevins will conduct an oral exam to confirm whether SureSmile aligners are right for you. Should more severe orthodontic needs be discovered, we may provide you with a referral to a local orthodontist.
