If you're living with crooked teeth, as an adult, it may feel daunting to consider straightening them. You may not like the idea of wearing unsightly metal braces, but you're not sure how effective clear aligners might be.
Today, we will share information about SureSmile clear aligners so you can decide if they are right for you.
What Are SureSmile Clear Aligners?
Instead of using traditional brackets and wires to move your teeth into alignment, SureSmile uses clear, plastic aligners to do the job. The aligners are designed to fit snugly against your teeth, gradually moving them into alignment with gentle pressure.
Smooth aligners tend to be more comfortable to wear than brackets and wires that can poke and irritate your gums and soft tissues. They're also removable, making eating, brushing, and flossing much more accessible than navigating braces.
You will have a series of aligners custom-designed by our dentists to address your tooth alignment needs. You'll wear each set of aligners for one to three weeks according to your treatment plan. Wearing your aligners for at least 22 hours daily will help you achieve the best results.
Most patients can finish treatment with Champaign clear braces in 10 to 18 months, depending on their needs.
What Are the Advantages of SureSmile?
Choosing SureSmile over traditional braces offers several advantages that busy adults and teens love:
- Discretion — Clear aligners are virtually invisible, so no one will know you're straightening your teeth.
- Comfort — Clear aligners are smooth and more comfortable to wear than braces.
- Ease — You can easily remove your aligners for meals, brushing, and flossing.
- Confidence — You'll feel confident throughout your treatment with SureSmile because of its discretion, and the confidence of a straighter, more beautiful smile is priceless.
