Clear Aligner Therapy: How SureSmile Aligners Are a Game-Changer

In a perfect world, we would all be born with beautiful teeth that come in straight, resulting in a gorgeous smile we can be proud of. Unfortunately, only a few lucky people experience this. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers teeth straightening solutions beyond traditional metal braces, and many of us would benefit from cosmetic dentistry options such as clear aligner therapy. At Wahlen Dentistry, Drs. Jennifer Wahlen and John Torghele can help give you a winning smile. 

1. Understanding How SureSmile Aligners Work

SureSmile clear aligners are made from transparent material, providing a more attractive option for straightening teeth. The special plastic used to create SureSmile aligners is ultra-thin, so you can have a discreet option for beautifying your smile. Clear aligners work by using gentle but consistent force to slowly move your teeth to straighter positions. 

2. Straight Teeth Go Beyond Appearance

While most people think of teeth straightening as a cosmetic solution, there are many benefits to having straight teeth that go far beyond having a more beautiful smile.

• Brushing is easier and more effective because your toothbrush can more easily reach spaces. 
• Better brushing and flossing will decrease the risk of gum disease. 
• Correctly aligned teeth function better, so your muscles, jaw, and joints experience less stress as they do their job. This can reduce TMJ disorder symptoms. 

3. Enjoy Your Favorite Foods

Do you love popcorn, corn on the cob, and healthy nuts? With metal braces, people had to give up these foods temporarily. However, clear aligners are removable, so you can enjoy all your favorite foods without worry. 

4. SureSmile Aligners Aren’t Just for Crooked Teeth

Most people seek out SureSmile aligners to straighten their teeth. But the following issues, too, can be addressed with clear aligners:

• Openbite
• Crossbite
• Underbite
• Teeth with gaps between them
• Overbite
• Tooth crowding
• Teeth that are unevenly spaced

5. Clear Aligners Are a Low-Maintenance Solution

Like any oral appliance, SureSmile aligners have to be cleaned daily. Keep in mind that rinsing is not the same as cleaning. As you go about your day, you can rinse your SureSmile aligners as needed. Then, before you go to bed, brush your aligners with a soft-bristled toothbrush using clear liquid soap. Use a different toothbrush from the one you brush your teeth with. 

6. SureSmile Aligners Are Custom-Made for You

Drs. Wahlen and Torghele will create 3D scans of your teeth, mouth, and gums. These scans are then sent to a lab, where specially trained technicians will custom-design your SureSmile aligners so they fit you perfectly. When you get your first set of SureSmile aligners, you’ll wear them for about two weeks. At the end of that two weeks, you’ll be given another set of aligners. This process will continue until your teeth are straight.
