Understanding how SureSmile aligners work to straighten teeth
Straightening the smile with braces can seem like a daunting task to both teenagers and adults looking to improve teeth alignment. However, with continued advances and improvements in orthodontics, there are other ways to achieve the results without hiding the smile behind metal brackets and wires. Thanks to SureSmile braces, patients can use clear aligners to achieve the same results–while enjoying confidence and beauty throughout their treatment. Dr. Yvonne Caton-Hospedales and her team at Your Smile Dental Wellness Center of McDonough, Georgia, encourage patients to ask about the SureSmile solution for a straighter, more aligned smile and bite!
How do SureSmile clear aligners work?
SureSmile clear aligners are made using cutting-edge technology that allows them to be custom-fit to your teeth. The aligners work by gently applying pressure to your teeth, which moves them into the desired position. Instead of using metal braces, patients can use these aligners for teeth straightening–while enjoying discreet improvements each day!
Dr. Caton-Hospedales determines the amount of pressure used on the teeth, which gradually increases over time as your teeth start to move. This helps to ensure that your treatment is effective and that your teeth straighten as expected.
How long does it take to straighten teeth using SureSmile treatment?
The average treatment time for SureSmile clear aligners is about 9-12 months, but this can vary depending on the individual case. Once your SureSmile treatment is completed, you will be left with a beautifully straight smile that you can share with others without feeling self-conscious or embarrassed. Teeth straightening with SureSmile aligners can completely change a patient’s confidence–and life!
