Sometimes called “Invisible braces” or “clear braces”, dentists and orthodontists commonly call them “clear aligners”. Clear Aligners are a technological advancement that has made orthodontic treatment less obvious, while moving teeth and aligning jaws to create a healthy, beautiful smile.
Clear Aligners are a series of plastic aligners created using initial impressions or digital scans of your teeth as the starting point. The
aligners are plastic replicas of your teeth. Wearing them puts gentle pressure on the teeth, ever-so-slightly repositioning them over time. Each set of aligners is worn for a week or two before going to the next set. Over time, teeth reach their ideal clinical alignment.
The benefits of straight teeth are more than just a pretty smile.
Did you know that misaligned teeth can lead to oral health problems? It’s true. Teeth that are crooked or crowded, along with any bite issues that are left uncorrected can make oral care and hygiene difficult. Misaligned teeth and improper bites can sometimes lead to:
- Tooth damage and chipping
- Tooth loss
- Wearing away of tooth enamel
- Difficulty chewing or speaking
Benefits of straightening your teeth may include:
- Reduced risk of cavities
- Help prevent gum disease
- Improve confidence
- And of course, improve your smile
Your doctor will take a digital scan of your mouth, which produces several images of your teeth in seconds. With Primescan™ intraoral scanner, the innovative Smart Pixel Sensor processes more than 1,000,000 3D points per second, producing a highly accurate representation of your teeth.
These digital images, when uploaded to our SureSmile software, allow your dental professional to assess how clear aligners will best work for you, creating your unique treatment plan.
After your dentist has submitted your case and images to our digital lab, they work with our clinical experts to define your treatment journey, assessing each tooth for optimal movement to achieve your ideal smile. SureSmile® Clear Aligners require half the number of refinements versus other clear aligners. This means more accurate and predictable treatments, providing the results you expect. So, you can enjoy your ideal smile sooner!
