Sure Smile- Clear Aligners
What is Sure Smile?
SureSmile® clear aligners are a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, transparent trays to gently and gradually straighten teeth. Designed to be discreet, comfortable, and removable, they offer a convenient alternative to traditional braces—allowing patients to eat, brush, and floss as normal. Each set of aligners is precisely tailored using digital planning technology and worn in sequence to guide teeth into their ideal position, with treatment typically completed in several months depending on the case. Under the supervision of a dental professional, SureSmile aligners provide a predictable, effective way to achieve a healthier, more confident smile.
What’s the process for having Sure smile?
1
You’ll need to attend a consultation to discuss Sure Smile and the alternative options. Your orthodontist will assess your mouth and let you know whether you’re suitable for Invisalign or what the other options are.
3
Once your aligners have been made, your orthodontist will talk you through how to make your treatment a success. You’ll need to wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day for them to work properly. You can take them out to eat, drink and brush your teeth.

If you’re suitable and would like to go ahead with treatment, your orthodontist will write you a treatment plan which you’ll need to sign. Then your custom-made aligners will be created for you using 3D imaging technology.

You’ll see your orthodontist every few weeks to change your aligners and check in on your treatment progress. The number of aligner sets required for your treatment depends on your individual needs. Once you’ve worn all your aligners, you’ll be given a retainer to help keep your teeth straight following treatment.
