SureSmile®: Faster, More Precise Orthodontic Treatment

The SureSmile® system offers a more efficient alternative to traditional braces, potentially reducing overall treatment time by up to 40%. While most people want straight, healthy teeth, the thought of wearing braces for years can be daunting. Unlike some misconceptions, SureSmile® doesn’t move teeth faster—it moves them with greater precision at the natural pace.

Using advanced technology, SureSmile® allows the orthodontist to view your teeth in 3D from every angle and create a customized treatment plan. The braces themselves are computer-designed and feature archwires activated by body heat for optimal performance.

Advantages of SureSmile® over traditional braces:

  • Fewer visits to the orthodontist
  • Less soreness and discomfort
  • More accurate and predictable results
  • Shorter overall treatment times

How SureSmile® Helps Patients

SureSmile® provides enhanced precision, resulting in straighter teeth and a healthier bite. The system also minimizes discomfort by optimizing the effectiveness of the dental wires. Adjustment appointments, often associated with pain, are reduced or eliminated, making the process more comfortable. SureSmile® is suitable for patients of all ages with generally healthy teeth and gums.

What to Expect When Getting SureSmile® Braces

  1. Initial Assessment: The orthodontist will evaluate your mouth for decay, gum disease, or other dental issues. Any problems must be addressed before braces are applied.
  2. Treatment Planning: A 3D model of your teeth is created using a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan or OraScanner. These highly detailed images show the exact positions of teeth, roots, nerves, and blood vessels.
  3. Simulation: Advanced software allows the orthodontist to simulate treatment outcomes and plan the ideal movement of your teeth. You can even see a preview of the final bite and smile.
  4. Brace Fabrication: The SureSmile® system creates a custom Copper NiTi shape-memory archwire. This wire applies gentle, constant pressure to guide your teeth into the desired positions.
  5. Treatment: Unlike traditional braces that require frequent manual adjustments, the SureSmile® archwire is activated by body heat and self-adjusts. This reduces discomfort, shortens office visits, and helps achieve results more efficiently.

SureSmile® combines technology and precision to deliver a straighter, healthier smile with fewer interruptions and less discomfort.
