SureSmile is a fantastic new way to align teeth that replaces the work that metal braces used to do. By eliminating the need for metal braces, these clear aligners offer a natural-looking alternative option for fixing teeth. Dr. David M. Juliani, DDS provides this discreet corrective method as one of our treatment options.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a popular cosmetic dentistry choice for many patients, especially among teens. The SureSmile treatment involves a planned progression of custom transparent molds worn unobtrusively over the teeth in the fashion of a mouthguard. Each new version in the series of aligners slowly repositions teeth according to a treatment plan that enhances a patient’s smile.
See-through aligners, like some dental implants, preserve a natural appearance while correcting teeth, essentially replacing older methods of dentistry in Rochester Hills MI to become the new standard in tooth alignment.
The Alignment Process
The process begins with a preliminary visit with the dental team of Dr. David Juliani, a trusted dentist in Rochester Hills, MI and a specialist in cosmetic dental work.
During the visit, our qualified team will take pictures and make tooth impressions. This information will serve to identify misalignments. It also serves as the basis for a 3D image from which to create a treatment plan and a set of aligners for every stage of treatment.
Treatment Stages
Patients receive a total of about 20 to 30 aligners that come in smaller sets provided at check-ups every four to six weeks. Each aligner in a set is worn for approximately two weeks and for a minimum of 20 hours per day.
Will It Work for Everyone?
Clear aligners are generally for minor issues, such as tooth gaps, crowded teeth, and mild cases of crossbite or overbite.
Treatment Benefits
The top advantage of clear braces is near invisibility. Wearers can have confidence in going about their day without the distraction of visible metal framework. The aligners also leave the option for removal in instances where they may become a hindrance, such as eating and drinking certain foods and beverages. And one of the best benefits of all is that they get beautiful results.
