Davey, Nebraska area patients who are interested in straightening their teeth may avoid that conversation with their dentist for fear of hearing the dreaded word: Braces. Metal braces can help straighten the smile effectively and are still the standard orthodontic treatment, but now many patients want to consider other options, including SureSmile aligners.
Drs. Chris and Robin Post of Centre Place Dental describe SureSmile aligners as a clear aligners system that is designed to straighten the teeth without the use of traditional braces. The aligners are custom-made for each individual patient and are crafted from a clear plastic material that makes them virtually invisible when worn. This is preferable over conventional orthodontia, which uses noticeable metal brackets and wires to achieve the same results–in a longer period of time!
With SureSmile aligners, our patients achieve their desired smile discreetly and comfortably. They are a popular alternative to more traditional metal braces, especially for those who want to avoid covering their teeth with metal as they improve their smiles. The aligners are also removable, allowing our patients to easily brush and floss their teeth, as well as eat their favorite foods without any restrictions. This makes them an attractive option for individuals with busy lifestyles or for teens who may feel self-conscious about having braces.
SureSmile aligners use advanced technology to create a 3D model of the patient’s teeth. This model is then used to create a series of customized aligners that will gradually shift the teeth into their desired position. Each set of aligners is worn by the patient for a minimum of 20 hours a day for two weeks, at which point they are replaced with the next set in the series until the final result is achieved.
Aside from being virtually invisible and removable, SureSmile aligners offer many benefits for patients. They are designed to be comfortable and provide a gentle force that gradually moves the teeth into alignment. This means less discomfort compared to traditional braces, which can often cause soreness and irritation in the mouth.
Another benefit is the shorter treatment time compared to conventional orthodontic methods. While metal braces may take up to two years to achieve desired results, SureSmile aligners typically take only 6-18 months.
Additionally, the 3D model and advanced technology used in creating SureSmile aligners allow for a more precise and accurate treatment plan, resulting in better outcomes.
