How Long Do You Wear SureSmile Aligners?

Have you ever noticed how infectious smiling can be? You smile, and others follow suit! A beautiful smile is welcomed everywhere you go. Straightening your grin will enable you to smile with joy and confidence if you have crooked teeth. At Centre Place Dental, we can help you achieve a picture-perfect smile with SureSmile Orthodontics. Dr. Chris Post and his dental team in Lincoln, Nebraska, can make your dream smile a reality with SureSmile. Let’s explore the critical aspects of this orthodontic system.

How Long Do You Wear SureSmile Aligners?

SureSmile uses clear, plastic aligners to realign crooked teeth, correct bite issues, close gaps, and resolve problems with overcrowding. It’s a safe and effective system for straightening your teeth and improving the quality of your smile. During your initial consultation with Dr. Post and our team, we’ll evaluate your smile and assess the problems that must be addressed. Then, we’ll get your input on how you’d like your smile to be. By setting smile goals together, we can work towards achieving the results you desire. The length of your treatment will depend on the problems you’d like to fix. To close gaps in your smile or correct minor bite issues, you may wear your aligners for 12 months. More complex problems could take 18 months or longer to correct. Consistent adherence to your treatment plan will lead to lasting, beautiful results.

In addition, SureSmile makes the orthodontic process easy to bear with perks like:

• Invisibility
  SureSmile clear aligners are barely noticeable on your teeth, so it’s not so obvious you’re having orthodontic treatment. You don’t have to compromise your appearance for 12 to 18 months to improve your smile.
• Removable Aligners
  Unlike traditional braces that stay on your teeth full-time, SureSmile aligners can be removed. In fact, the system calls for them to be removed when you eat and brush your teeth. You’ll be able to eat comfortably whatever you like and can keep up with your dental hygiene. You can even pop your aligners off for snacks and pop them back in after brushing your teeth.
• Comfort
  SureSmile clear aligners are made from smooth, thermoplastic material. They do not have metal parts that poke your gums or cheeks, and they are custom-made for a comfortable, snug fit.
• Precision
  The SureSmile system is designed to accurately and precisely shift your teeth into proper alignment. These clear orthodontic braces apply gentle pressure to your teeth to gradually move them into a straighter position. The aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours daily for optimal results. You’ll switch to a new set of aligners every two weeks or so to continue the straightening process. Dr. Post will schedule dental visits every six to eight weeks to keep track of your progress until your treatment is complete.
