SureSmile® Clear Aligners

Are you embarrassed to smile because of crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth? You deserve to feel confident about your smile, but the thought of wearing metal braces may hold you back from seeking orthodontic treatment.

Like many popular clear aligner systems, such as Invisalign®, SureSmile® at Haley Julian Dental Arts offers a discreet, comfortable alternative to achieving the straight smile you desire. Dr. Julian's expertise with clear aligners allows her to create personalized treatment plans that address your unique alignment needs and seamlessly fit into your lifestyle.

What Can SureSmile Treat?

SureSmile effectively addresses various orthodontic issues, including:

Crowded teeth
Gaps between teeth
Overbite and underbite
Crossbite
Minor to moderate misalignment

During your consultation, Dr. Julian will evaluate your unique needs to determine whether SureSmile is the best solution for your smile goals.

Benefits of Clear Aligner Treatment

SureSmile clear aligners offer numerous advantages for adults and older teens who need orthodontic treatment. The custom-crafted aligners gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment with benefits that you won’t find with traditional braces.

Virtually Invisible

SureSmile aligners are crafted from crystal-clear material that remains virtually undetectable during wear. You can smile confidently throughout treatment, knowing most people won't notice you're wearing orthodontic appliances.

Comfortable Fit

The smooth, custom-fitted aligners eliminate the discomfort often associated with metal brackets and wires. Each aligner is precisely designed to apply gentle pressure that moves your teeth predictably and comfortably.

Flexibility

Clear aligners fit seamlessly into your busy lifestyle. You can remove them for meals, special occasions, and oral hygiene. This convenience lets you maintain your regular diet and dental care routine while straightening your teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to wear a retainer after clear aligners?

Yes, wearing a retainer after completing your SureSmile® treatment is essential for maintaining your newly aligned smile. Teeth naturally tend to shift throughout our lives, and this movement can be more pronounced immediately after orthodontic treatment.

The Importance of Retention

The bone and ligaments that hold your teeth need time to stabilize in their new positions after alignment. Without proper retention, your teeth may gradually return to their original positions, compromising your investment in orthodontic treatment. Research shows that consistent retainer use significantly improves long-term orthodontic stability.

How to Wear Your Retainer

Dr. Julian will likely recommend wearing your retainer full-time for the first few months after completing your SureSmile treatment and transitioning to nighttime wear. Based on your specific case, she will create a personalized retention plan that considers factors such as the extent of your original misalignment and your age.

Types of Dental Retainers

At Haley Julian Dental Arts, we offer clear retainers that maintain the discreet appearance you enjoyed during your SureSmile treatment. These custom-made retainers are comfortable, nearly invisible, and designed specifically for your newly aligned smile. Dr. Julian will help you choose the most appropriate retention solution.

Your Path to a Straighter Smile

Dr. Julian begins with a comprehensive evaluation using advanced digital scanning. This advanced technology allows her to create a detailed 3-D image of your teeth to prepare a precise treatment plan and let you preview how your smile will transform.

Once your custom aligners arrive, you'll wear each set for about two weeks before progressing to the next. Regular check-in appointments with Dr. Julian ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. Wear your aligners 22 hours daily for the fastest results, removing them only for eating, drinking, and cleaning.

Clear Aligner Treatment Times

While every case differs, many patients complete SureSmile treatment in 6–18 months. Your specific timeline depends on the complexity of your alignment needs and your consistency in wearing the aligners. Dr. Julian provides a detailed estimate during your initial consultation.

The process is quick and comfortable, requiring only a few seconds while you stand still in front of the machine.
