Invisalign Clear Aligners

Clear aligners offer a more discreet alternative to braces, especially for teens and adults that want a straighter smile.

Show it off

Clear aligners, also called invisible braces, are the clear and simple way to straighten your teeth so you can show off your smile with confidence! Looking for an alternative to metal braces? There are no wires or brackets; just clear, convenient comfort that gives you every reason to smile.

Effortless convenience

Achieving your ideal smile is easy and effortless. Plus, since your clear aligners are removable, you can take them out to brush, floss, and eat your favorite foods. They fit your life and daily routine as perfectly as it fits your teeth, so you don’t need to change a thing.

Out of sight, out of mind

Unlike traditional metal braces, clear aligners let you show off your smile while you straighten your teeth. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you forget you’re wearing them, and they’re so clear that no one else will notice you’re wearing them either!

Braces vs. Invisalign

Braces

  • Effective for complex cases: Braces can handle more severe or complicated dental issues, such as severe misalignment, which might be beyond the scope of clear aligners.
  • Permanent attachment: Since they are not removable, there’s no need to worry about discipline in wearing time, ensuring continuous treatment.
  • Oral hygiene challenges: Cleaning teeth can be more challenging with braces, increasing the risk of plaque buildup and potential for gum disease if not managed properly.
  • Discomfort: Brackets and wires can cause irritation to the mouth’s interior, especially after adjustments.
  • Dietary restrictions: Hard, sticky, or chewy foods can damage braces, limiting dietary choices during treatment.

Invisalign / Clear Aligners

  • Aesthetic and discreet: Clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them a more aesthetically pleasing option compared to traditional braces.
  • Improved oral hygiene: Removable, allowing for better access to clean teeth and gums thoroughly.
  • Comfort: No wires or brackets that could irritate the mouth, plus each set of aligners is custom-made to fit snugly over the teeth.
  • Requires self-discipline: Patients must be diligent about wearing the aligners for the required 20-22 hours per day, which can be challenging, especially for younger patients.
  • Possible for misplacement or loss: Being removable means aligners can easily be lost or forgotten, potentially delaying treatment progress.
  • Initial speech adjustment: Some people might experience a temporary lisp or slight alteration in speech until they get used to the aligners.

The path to a straighter smile

After you and your doctor decide that clear  is the right treatment option to fit your unique goals and needs, you’ll send your records, X-rays, and impressions to SureSmile®.

Next, working with your doctor every step of the way, SureSmile® maps out a customized treatment plan of gradual adjustments that take your teeth from where they are currently to where you want them to be. You’ll wear each set of aligners for a specific amount of time as your teeth gently adjust and align to your ideal smile. You’ll visit your doctor periodically for checkups to monitor your progress until you eventually have the straight smile you’ve always wanted.
