For A Beautiful Smile And A Healthy Lifestyle
Straight teeth are more than just a cosmetic enhancement—they play a crucial role in maintaining your oral and overall health. While crooked teeth may not seem like a concern if they don’t bother you, proper alignment is essential for your teeth to function correctly and last a lifetime.
- Chipped front teeth or tooth loss.
- Food trapping between teeth, leading to decay.
- Difficulty cleaning between teeth, making flossing harder.
- Increased risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Gum disease, which is linked to systemic health issues like heart disease, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, and stroke.
Did you know that nearly 9 out of 10 people have mild to severe misalignment or crowding? This can lead to:
Aligning your teeth not only improves your smile but also helps prevent costly dental and medical complications in the future. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, schedule an evaluation at our office to assess your oral health and take the first step toward a healthier, happier you.
When Is A Good Time To Start?
If you’ve been considering straightening your teeth or recently received a recommendation from your dentist, now is the best time to begin. Waiting only increases the likelihood of dissatisfaction and the risk of dental health issues like broken teeth or misalignment-related problems.
Teeth naturally shift over time, meaning they’ll likely be more out of alignment in the future than they are today.
The more correction needed, the longer and more complex the treatment will be. Starting earlier makes the process easier, faster, and often more affordable.
Concerned about cost? Don’t worry—treatment is manageable with flexible payment options. Our office is happy to provide details about affordable plans that allow you to start improving your smile right away. Don’t wait—take the first step toward a healthier, more confident smile today!

Your Treatment Plan
The journey begins with digital scans of your teeth to create a customized treatment plan.

Once your plan is finalized, SureSmile’s state-of-the-art technology crafts your custom aligners with precision.
The First Aligners
When your aligners arrive, temporary fasteners may be bonded to your teeth. These small, mostly invisible attachments help secure your aligners for maximum effectiveness. Don’t worry—these fasteners are removed at the end of your treatment.
Follow up Appointments
You’ll wear each set of clear aligners for about two weeks before switching to the next in the series. This gradual process gently shifts your teeth into their ideal position. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled every 1-2 months to monitor your progress and ensure the treatment stays on track.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Choose Clear Aligners?
What are Clear Aligners?
Which is better: braces or SureSmile?
SureSmile is often considered a more comfortable and discreet option compared to traditional braces. The clear, custom-fit trays are barely noticeable, and most people won’t realize you’re wearing them. They’re also removable, so you can take them out for special events, presentations, or meals.
Unlike braces, which can pinch or scratch the inside of your mouth, SureSmile trays are smooth and can be easily adjusted if they irritate your gums. They apply gentle pressure, shifting only a few teeth at a time, making them far more comfortable than the constant tension of braces.
What is the cost of clear aligners, are they covered by insurance?
Does SureSmile hurt?
SureSmile aligners work gradually to shift your teeth, minimizing discomfort. While minor changes occur within weeks, larger corrections take longer, ensuring comfort throughout the process. Some mild pressure or discomfort is normal, but if you experience pain, let us know so adjustments can be made.
How Do Clear Aligners Work?
How Long Do I Have to Wear Aligners?
On average, SureSmile treatment takes 6 to 12 months, depending on the complexity of your case. Many patients notice initial movement within the first 6 weeks of wearing aligners. Keep in mind, the more significant the changes, the longer the treatment—regardless of the orthodontic method you choose.
How Do I Care for My Aligners?
- Remove and clean your aligners and teeth twice daily.
- Rinse aligners before reinserting them if removed during the day.
- Avoid leaving aligners exposed to open air when not in use.
- Soak aligners in denture cleaner or SureSmile cleaning crystals and rinse thoroughly before reinserting.
- Do not eat or drink while wearing aligners.
- Avoid cleaning aligners with toothpaste, as it can cause damage.

You’ll receive detailed home care instructions when you start your treatment.
Can you eat with aligners in?
No, you shouldn’t eat with your aligners in. The pressure from chewing can damage or crack them. Additionally, eating with aligners can be messy and uncomfortable. Always remove your trays before eating or drinking anything other than water.
Do you sleep with aligners on?
Yes, you should wear your aligners even while you sleep. To ensure they effectively shift your teeth into the correct position, aligners must be worn all day and night, except when eating or drinking. Consistent wear is essential for successful treatment, so keeping them on as much as possible is key to achieving your desired results.
