Goodbye Brackets and Wires, Hello Beautiful Smile!
If your teeth are crooked or otherwise misaligned, they might make you feel self-conscious about the appearance of your smile. Still, you could hesitate to get traditional braces because you dislike the idea of having unsightly brackets and wires in your mouth. Fortunately, you may be a candidate for SureSmile, a convenient clear aligner system that is designed to fit in seamlessly with busy modern lifestyles. Read more about it on this page, or get in touch with our Boerne dental team to request a consultation.

How SureSmile Works
Orthodontic treatment works because it applies gentle, sustained pressure to the teeth. Over time, it shifts them into their ideal positions. Braces apply pressure via metal brackets and wires. SureSmile, on the other hand, uses a series of custom-made clear aligners. You wear each set of aligners for 1 – 2 weeks before moving forward with the next set. As you work your way through your entire treatment program, your teeth will gradually move. You should visit us periodically throughout your time with SureSmile so we can keep an eye on your progress. Start-to-finish treatment often takes 12 – 18 months.
Indications for SureSmile
SureSmile is a suitable choice for addressing many types of mild to moderate dental misalignment. Here are some examples of issues that it can often be used to correct:
Crowded Teeth
Crooked and crowded teeth can trap food between them, increasing your risk of gum disease and cavities. SureSmile may be able to shift your teeth in a way that makes them easier to clean and lowers your risk of oral health problems.
Gaps Between Teeth
Large spaces between your teeth can leave your gums vulnerable to harm and detract from your smile’s natural beauty. SureSmile aligners may be able to move your teeth closer together and create a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Bite Alignment
A malocclusion, such as an overbite or underbite, can affect both your facial aesthetics and your dental function. SureSmile, perhaps along with special accessories, is able to address many bite problems.
The Benefits of SureSmile
Some of the most noteworthy benefits of SureSmile include:
- A discreet appearance. SureSmile aligners are virtually invisible when they are on the teeth, meaning they do not call a lot of attention to themselves.
- Precision and comfort. SureSmile aligners are custom-made to fit precisely over your teeth. Their smooth plastic material rests comfortably against soft oral tissues.
- Easy oral hygiene. Because the aligners are removable, you can easily brush and floss your teeth.
- No dietary restrictions. Because you should remove the aligners at mealtimes, you can eat virtually any food, including those that are off-limits with regular braces.
- Treatment time with SureSmile is often shorter than with conventional braces.
How Much Does SureSmile Cost?
The cost of SureSmile depends on how many aligners you need and other factors. During your consultation, we can provide an estimate for your unique case. Often, clear aligners are comparable in price to regular braces.
We do not want you to be overly stressed about paying for your care, so we welcome insurance, offer a convenient in-house savings plan, and work with CareCredit to provide low-interest financing.
