Sure Smile in Houston, TX
What is SureSmile?
SureSmile is a treatment that gently moves teeth into place. The trays are worn in a series over time to create a beautiful smile. SureSmile is a popular alternative to traditional braces and does not have any brackets or wires. The aligners are discrete and are comfortable when worn, and they do not cause any mouth or gum irritation.
The clear aligner trays are worn anywhere between 20-22 hours a day. The time worn each day depends on the patient’s treatment plan and the level of correction needed. SureSmile aligners are easily removable for drinking and eating, and they have a blue indicator to let patients know when they have worn the trays for the required amount of tine each day. The blue indicator is great for teens using SureSmile, helping parents know if their child has worn the trays for the correct amount of time.

‍
SureSmile is a popular choice for both teens and adults. This treatment helps if you have overcrowding, chewing, or overbite issues. Older teens and adults can follow instructions daily and ensure the trays are worn for the required amount of time. On average this treatment takes between 6-18 months, and this is comparable to the treatment time for traditional braces. During our consultation process we will discuss each patient’s age, level of correction, and smile goals to help choose which orthodontic treatment is best.
