The SureSmile aligner system offers patients who are self-conscious about their smile an opportunity to correct the problem without wearing the bulky metal braces commonly used in the past. Aside from improving your smile, straightening your teeth reduces the risk of tooth decay and joint damage that often results from crooked teeth and poor alignment. The SureSmile aligners allow you to correct poor alignment by using replaceable trays that gradually straighten your teeth a little bit at a time. Dr. Roger Suter and Dr. Adam Boustany offer the SureSmile aligner for patients in Clarksburg, West Virginia.
SureSmile aligners include several sets of dental trays that are replaced every two to three weeks. Your dentist uses computer imagery to design each aligner tray so that it gently shifts your teeth a small amount over a few days. Depending on the amount of correction needed, you will receive a specific number of trays to use over 3 months to 18 months. With the aligner trays being replaced every one to two weeks, the shift of your teeth is so gradual it is almost unnoticeable.
One of the primary benefits of the SureSmile aligner system is its convenience. You can remove the aligners for a short time during the day. That will allow you to eat, brush/floss your teeth, or speak in public. The aligners are also incredibly secure. They are designed to snap firmly onto your teeth. They will not shift or slip. When it comes time to remove them, you detach them from your teeth and put them away until you are ready to wear them again. Because they fit so securely, you can do almost all of your regular day-to-day activities while wearing them.
The SureSmile aligner system offers patients a natural as well as functional smile. Crooked teeth can throw off the alignment of your jaws. That can make it difficult for you to chew your food sufficiently. It can also make it more difficult to speak clearly. In the past, it took several years of wearing metal braces to give a patient a natural smile they longed for. Metal braces often caused soft tissue damage and, in some cases, even damage the enamel of the teeth. The SureSmile aligner system offers all of the benefits of the more traditional metal braces without any drawbacks. The aligners provide convenience and functionality as well as a beautiful vibrant smile.
