FAQ
What are SureSmile Aligners?
SureSmile aligners are a type of clear aligner used to straighten teeth discreetly and effectively, similar to the more commonly known Invisalign® clear aligners. They are made using advanced digital technology to create a precise 3D model of your teeth, allowing for meticulous planning of each tooth movement. The aligners are crafted from a durable, clear material designed for comfort and invisibility, making them an appealing option for orthodontic treatment without the aesthetic drawbacks of traditional braces.
SureSmile vs. Invisalign Clear Aligners
Both SureSmile and Invisalign clear aligners offer effective solutions for straightening teeth, but they differ in some respects. SureSmile aligners are known for their precise customization and potentially shorter treatment times, thanks to detailed digital planning. Invisalign aligners, on the other hand, have a long-standing reputation and a slightly different approach to treatment, using a series of removable aligners replaced every two weeks. The choice between the two depends on individual orthodontic needs and personal preferences. When you visit Dr. Soe or Dr. Jacky for your initial consultation, they will discuss your options with you to help you understand your options and make an informed decision about your care.
What are the Benefits of SureSmile Aligners?
SureSmile aligners offer several benefits, including a precise and customized fit due to advanced digital planning. This precision often leads to shorter treatment times compared to traditional braces. The aligners are made from clear, durable material, making them comfortable and virtually invisible. Additionally, SureSmile aligners are removable, allowing for easy cleaning and maintenance of oral hygiene. This flexibility also means you can eat your favorite foods without restrictions.
How Do I Care for My Aligners?
Caring for your SureSmile aligners is simple but essential for maintaining their effectiveness and hygiene. You should rinse them with lukewarm water and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush daily. Avoid using hot water, which can warp the aligners. It is also important to clean your teeth thoroughly before putting the aligners back in to prevent bacteria and plaque buildup. Always store your aligners in their provided case when not in use to protect them from damage and loss.
How Long Does SureSmile Clear Aligner Treatment Take?
The duration of SureSmile clear aligner treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. On average, treatment can take anywhere from six months to two years. SureSmile’s advanced digital planning often allows for shorter treatment times compared to traditional braces or other clear aligner brands, such as Invisalign aligners. Our dentists will provide a more accurate estimate based on your specific orthodontic needs during your initial consultation. Regular follow-up appointments will help ensure your treatment stays on track.
