How SureSmile Clear Aligners Work

You won’t need to worry about a “metal mouth” with SureSmile. It consists of clear plastic trays that are worn in a series. By using these “aligners,” your grin will slowly shift to the correct position.

All that said, SureSmile has its share of rules. Firstly, you must wear a given aligner pair for about two weeks. The second guideline is to wear your trays for 22 hours a day. If you stick to these instructions, you’ll have excellent results.

The Benefits of SureSmile

  • Discreet Treatment – SureSmile trays use nearly invisible plastic. That means they’ll blend with your grin and won’t draw attention.
  • High Convenience – Since SureSmile trays are removable, they won’t make meals or dental care tricky.
  • No Irritation – SureSmile aligners are smooth and BPA-free, thus ensuring they won’t irritate your mouth.
  • Quicker Results – Metal braces often take as long as three years to work. Meanwhile, SureSmile can straighten your teeth in 12-15 months.

Is SureSmile Better Than Invisalign?

Both SureSmile and Invisalign depend on clear trays to align your teeth. Thus, they have some broad similarities. Even so, the former has unique upsides in some cases.

You see, SureSmile doesn’t need to use as many trays as Invisalign. Its aligners don’t require as many adjustments from our team. As a result, it tends to be cheaper than the Invisalign. The need for fewer trays also means SureSmile can proceed more quickly.
