Suresmile® clear aligners after braces: what you need to know

If you wore braces in the past, you may notice that your teeth have shifted over time.

It is very common, but the good news is that it doesn’t mean that you need braces again.

Those who had braces in the past probably don’t want to repeat the whole procedure. The thought of metal wires, the pain, the constant readjustments – they just don’t make sense. Not to mention the difficulty with eating.

SureSmile® invisible braces are orthodontic treatments that work to gradually straighten teeth through a series of clear aligners. These custom-fit, removable aligners combine the physical force of plastic with advanced digital planning for precise tooth movement. No wires to poke you, no need to avoid your favourite foods either. With SureSmile® clear aligners, each tooth has its own well. Each tooth moves independently from the other teeth.

Benefits of SureSmile®

SureSmile Clear Aligners offer some distinct advantages, including:

• Using sophisticated SureSmile® software, your dental professional creates a fully customized treatment plan for anatomically correct tooth movement that lasts.
• Engineered Essix® ACE plastic, an industry leader in dental plastics holds its shape longer to deliver optimal tooth movement.
• State-of-the-art manufacturing delivers laser-cut, polished aligners with variable trim lines for optimal tooth movement and patient comfort.
• Making it easier to keep the teeth clean.
• Fewer in-person visits to the dentist which means less time out of your busy schedule.
• Being gentle on existing dental work, such as crowns and bridges.

Invisalign® vs SureSmile®

Honestly, they are both great. They can both correct the following issues:

Gapped and widely spaced teeth

• Crooked teeth
• Crossbite
• Overbite and underbite

They are both clear aligners, so they are not noticeable. Both of them are removable, which offers a nice layer of convenience.

Invisalign® provides great benefits to patients, however, these aligners are not for everyone. It cannot fix large tooth gaps, tooth shaping, or severe overbite.

For more complex orthodontic cases, SureSmile® is the right choice. Because of its customized fit, SureSmile clear aligners can straighten your teeth quickly. They are more comfortable and less painful; because they do not need many adjustments. SureSmile®’s patented software takes digital images to customize aligners. Every one of your teeth is assessed providing you with a more personalized treatment plan.

Last, but not least, Invisalign® aligners are usually pricier. If you are on a tighter budget, you may want to think twice about getting Invisalign®.
