If you’re looking for a discreet way to straighten your teeth without traditional braces, clear aligners are an excellent option. While the term “Invisalign” is commonly used due to brand recognition, Mooring Dental offers the SureSmile clear aligner system, which provides the same benefits, comfort, and results as Invisalign. SureSmile is virtually identical to Invisalign and uses a series of custom-made, nearly invisible aligners to gradually move your teeth into the correct position, giving you a straighter, more confident smile.
Clear aligners like SureSmile offer a modern, convenient way to straighten your teeth without the discomfort and appearance of metal braces. They are an ideal choice for both adults and teens who want to improve their smile while continuing to enjoy their favorite foods and activities.
Benefits of Invisalign-type Clear Aligners
Straightening your teeth with SureSmile (similar to Invisalign) is a straightforward and personalized experience. Here’s what you can expect from the process:
Your journey begins with a consultation where Dr. Sean Mooring will evaluate your smile and discuss your treatment goals to determine if clear aligners are the right choice for you.
Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we create a precise digital model of your teeth to map out your treatment and design custom aligners.
You’ll receive a series of custom-made aligners. Each aligner will make slight adjustments to your teeth, guiding them into place over time.
Throughout your treatment, Dr. Mooring will monitor your progress and provide new aligners as your teeth gradually shift.
Once your treatment is complete, you’ll reveal a beautifully straight smile.
Invisalign has become a household name for clear aligner treatments, but SureSmile offers the same quality and effectiveness. Both systems use nearly invisible, custom-made aligners to move your teeth into position over time. At Mooring Dental, we use SureSmile aligners to offer you the same great results at a competitive price.
Treatment time varies depending on individual cases, but most patients see results in 12 to 18 months. Dr. Mooring will provide a more accurate timeline during your consultation.
Clear aligners are designed to be as comfortable as possible. While you may feel slight pressure as your teeth shift, this is temporary and much less intense than the discomfort of traditional braces.
You should remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent staining and to avoid food particles getting trapped in your aligners.
For the best results, wear your SureSmile aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
After completing your treatment, you may need to wear a retainer to maintain your new smile. Dr. Mooring will recommend the best retainer option for you to ensure long-lasting results.
If you’re ready to achieve a straighter smile with the convenience of clear aligners like Invisalign, Mooring Dental is here to help. The SureSmile system offers the same benefits as Invisalign, helping you straighten your teeth comfortably and discreetly.
