Why Choose Sunrise Dental Service for SureSmile Aligners?

What Are
SureSmile Aligners?

Rather than using brackets and wires to move the teeth, SureSmile relies on a progressive series of clear plastic trays. They fit over the teeth like a mouthguard and place a slight amount of pressure in order to move the teeth to their ideal positions. The aligners are made using a digital scan of the bite so that the process is as comfortable and efficient as possible, helping a patient reach their final result in record time.

Dr. Makadia typically recommends SureSmile for adults and teens that have mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including crookedness, crowding, and gaps. SureSmile is often able to correct more advanced orthodontic issues like an overbite, underbite, or crossbite as well. At your consultation, Dr. Makadia will let you know which treatment would best suit your situation after giving you an exam and discussing your goals.

How Much Do SureSmile Aligners Cost?

The price of SureSmile Aligners can vary from patient to patient depending on how many trays they will need to make the changes they desire. Each tray is worn for about 2 weeks—some patients can complete the process in as little as 6 months, while others may require up to 18 months, which will call for more trays. Dr. Makadia will give you an estimated timeline and cost at your consultation. Our team will also discuss how we can use your insurance and financing to make your treatment affordable.

SureSmile FAQs

If you want a subtle solution to enhance your smile, you have more options than ever. Clear aligners provide the ideal method for adults seeking an alternative to brackets and wires. Although there are many systems available, SureSmile in Bohemia is a preferred method to correct bite and alignment issues. Although you can’t wait to have a healthy, straight smile, clear aligners are a big commitment. Here are the answers to frequently asked questions to determine if they are right for you.

What does SureSmile look like?

SureSmile doesn’t use brackets or wires to move your teeth. Dr. Makadia , your cosmetic dentist in Bohemia, takes digital scans of your mouth to create a series of transparent aligners. They are crafted from plastic to fit over your teeth. Although you can see the aligners when holding them in your hand, they are virtually undetectable when in your mouth. Your aligners can stay clear and discreet with the proper maintenance, like brushing and flossing. While the aligners are transparent, some patients need elastics, buttons, or attachments, which may not be as discreet.

What happens after SureSmile?

After finishing your series of aligners, your treatment won’t be finished quite yet. You’ll need to protect your investment with a retainer. The custom-made device holds your teeth in their new positions, allowing your bone and ligaments to form around them. Initially, you’ll be instructed to wear your retainer all the time, but your dentist will decrease how often it’s needed gradually. Eventually, you will only have to wear it at night. Don’t worry, you have several types of retainers to choose from to find the solution that meets your needs.

Can you eat with SureSmile?

You won’t have to skip popcorn at the movies because SureSmile aligners are removable. You won’t have to deal with any dietary restrictions while on your journey to a straight smile. However, you need to remove them when having anything except water. Be sure to store them in their storage case when they aren’t in your mouth. It’s important to brush and floss before putting your aligners back in. Removing your aligners will prevent damaging them while also preserving their translucency.

Is SureSmile cheaper than regular braces?

There’s not a flat fee for either treatment because various factors affect the amount you’ll pay, like the complexity of your case. Generally, both treatments come with a similar price tag. After examining your smile, your cosmetic dentist will create a personalized plan and provide you with an estimate during your consultation for SureSmile . You may be able to use your dental insurance to offset the amount you pay. We’ll work on your behalf to maximize any applicable benefits. We offer several financial solutions for any remaining balance, like third-party financing. You can ensure you don’t pay more out-of-pocket by committing to your treatment plan. No matter the final cost, you can’t put a price on the benefits you’ll attain from correcting your bite and alignment concerns.
