When you look in the mirror and smile, do you like what you see? Or are crooked, gapped, or misaligned teeth keeping you from living your best life?
For many teens and adults with orthodontic concerns, traditional braces may not be the only treatment option. With SureSmile® clear aligners, you can straighten your teeth without bulky brackets and wires, often in less time than you think.
But how do you know if you’re a candidate?
Keep reading to learn more.
How Does SureSmile Work?
The SureSmile system uses a series of clear plastic aligners to gently shift your teeth into the proper position.
You’ll wear your custom aligners all the time, except when you’re eating, brushing, or flossing.
Every one to two weeks, you’ll switch to a different set of aligners until your treatment is complete.
Once your teeth are straightened, you’ll need to wear a retainer to keep them from shifting back into their original position.
Are You a Candidate?
The only way to determine whether SureSmile aligners are the best orthodontic treatment option for you is to schedule a consultation at our Arvada dental office.
You could be a candidate if you meet these criteria:
- Orthodontic needs — If you have mild to moderate orthodontic concerns, such as overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite, crowded teeth, or gapped teeth, clear aligner therapy could be an option.
- Age — Clear aligners are ideal for teenagers and adults whose jaws are fully formed. You also need to have all of your permanent teeth to be a candidate.
- Oral health — It’s important to have healthy teeth and gums before beginning treatment. If you have signs of tooth decay or gum disease, we’ll treat those issues first.
- Lifestyle — Although removable SureSmile aligners make it easy to brush and floss your teeth, you have to commit to a diligent oral health routine. It’s also essential that you wear your aligners for 20-22 hours each day.
