Our team at Tooth Architect Dental Care in Sandy Springs, Georgia, is pleased to offer orthodontic treatment that provides an alternative to traditional metal bracket-and-wire braces. With SureSmile clear aligner treatment, patients can realign their teeth more discreetly, thanks to the clear plastic used in this particular service. Let’s look at frequently asked questions about this treatment and how it enhances and even transforms your smile!
SureSmile is an innovative orthodontic treatment method that uses transparent aligners to gradually move teeth into the desired position. It is a convenient and discreet alternative to traditional metal braces.
After a consultation with Dr. Shiva Talebi of Tooth Architect Dental Care, custom-made SureSmile aligners are created for you using advanced 3D imaging technology. These aligners are worn for about twenty-two hours a day, and every two weeks, you will switch to a new set of aligners that continue the gradual movement of your teeth.
One of SureSmile’s main benefits is its nearly invisible appearance. The clear aligners are hardly noticeable, making them a great option for those self-conscious about wearing traditional braces. Additionally, these aligners are easily removed for eating and oral hygiene purposes, allowing for easier oral health maintenance during treatment.
SureSmile effectively treats most orthodontic cases, but it may not suit some complex instances requiring traditional braces. It is best to consult with our team to determine if you are a good candidate for SureSmile treatment.
The length of SureSmile treatment varies greatly depending on individual cases, but in most cases, it takes about twelve to eighteen months. This is comparable to the treatment time of traditional braces but with the added benefit of being more discreet.
Yes. We strongly advise our orthodontic patients to wear a customized retainer after any orthodontic treatment, including SureSmile. This helps maintain the new position of your teeth and prevent them from shifting back. Our team will instruct you how long and often to wear your retainer.
At first, you may experience a slight change in your speech as you start to adjust to wearing the aligners. However, most patients quickly adapt and find that their speech returns to normal within a few days.
Patients love that SureSmile clear aligners allow more flexibility, especially when eating your favorite foods. Unlike traditional braces, which have many limitations, you can easily remove your aligners to eat and enjoy your favorite foods without any worries!
