Orthodontics
We offer a clear aligner treatment known as SureSmile. SureSmile offers high quality clear aligners to shift teeth into a healthy alignment and to provide good esthetic outcomes.
Orthodontic treatment such as clear aligners are unique and personalized to each patient. Shifting teeth with SureSmile sometimes requires engagers (composite, tooth-colored buttons) to be bonded to some of the teeth for the invisible aligners to engage and shift the teeth. Engagers present on the teeth are removed after orthodontic treatment is completed. Treatment may also require interproximal reduction, which is the removal of a small amount of enamel between the teeth to create enough space to shift the teeth into proper alignment.
Aligners are changed every 2 weeks for the required time to achieve the final outcome. Aligners are to be worn 22 hours a day to move the teeth properly and are only to be taken out to eat and brush the teeth. It should be noted that some cases require revisions if the teeth do not track (move) properly, which can increase the estimated treatment time, and some cases may be deemed too complex and will require referral to an Orthodontist.
