What are the advantages of clear aligners over metal braces?

Clear aligners offer several advantages over traditional metal braces:

They are nearly invisible, making them aesthetically appealing for adults and teens.
Aligners are removable, allowing for easier maintenance of oral hygiene with no food restrictions.
They are also more comfortable, as they lack metal brackets and wires that can irritate the gums and cheeks.
Treatment with clear aligners often requires fewer office visits and adjustments compared to braces, making it a convenient option for many patients seeking orthodontic treatment.

SureSmile is suitable for patients who require orthodontic treatment to correct misaligned teeth, bite issues, or crowded teeth. It is particularly beneficial for individuals looking for precise and efficient treatment outcomes. Candidates should have good oral health and be committed to following our recommendations throughout the treatment process. SureSmile technology allows for customized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique dental anatomy and treatment goals, providing a more efficient and effective orthodontic experience.
