How Do SureSmile Clear Aligners Work?
Clear aligners can give you beautiful, straight teeth without traditional metal braces. These aligners are designed to move your teeth into the correct alignment gradually whether you’re struggling with crooked teeth or dental bite issues.
You should wear your aligners at night and throughout the day, removing them only for meals and brushing and flossing. They are virtually invisible, and most people will never know that you are wearing them.
SureSmile can work for both teenagers and adults. Average treatment times vary, as everyone starts with different needs. Dr. Sharp will work with you to create your customized plan and keep you informed of your progress.
Why Choose SureSmile Clear Aligners
SureSmile has numerous advantages over traditional braces:
Traditional braces require appointments to tighten the wires and check the condition of the braces. With clear aligners, you just switch to the next set of aligners in the order of treatment laid out by your dentist.
Braces can leave permanent marks on your teeth, and even with good oral hygiene, plaque can develop around brackets and damage tooth enamel. These problems aren’t present with clear aligners.
Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners allow you to eat any foods you want without restrictions. Additionally, the wires of traditional braces can poke at your mouth and cause pain and even injury. A broken wire often means an additional visit to your dentist or orthodontist. You don’t have to worry about these possibilities with clear aligners.

Caring for Clear Aligners
It is easy to practice good oral hygiene habits with clear aligners. Simply remove the aligners and brush and floss your teeth as usual. Brush your aligners and rinse with warm water to keep them in good shape and free from bacteria.
Never use hot water to rinse or clean your aligners, as it can warp the plastic. You should also call our office if you crack or damage your aligner in any other way. A cracked aligner will not correctly move your teeth and impede your progress.
You should always brush your teeth following a meal and before placing your aligners back in your mouth. If you don't brush, bacteria become trapped against your teeth, and your aligners can become stained or damaged.
