Align Your Smile with Comfortable and Discreet SureSmile Aligners

Many people desire a perfectly aligned smile but hesitate to commit to years of metal braces. Good news! Longmont Dental proudly offers the SureSmile aligner system to patients in Longmont, Colorado. This teeth straightening method uses transparent, removable aligners instead of metal wires and brackets, allowing you to achieve the smile you deserve without the hassle of traditional braces.

What is SureSmile?

SureSmile is a clear aligner treatment, similar to Invisalign, designed to straighten teeth with a series of custom-made, high-quality plastic aligners. These aligners apply gentle, controlled pressure to gradually shift teeth into alignment. Made from clear plastic, they provide a discreet look that enhances your smile. Since the aligners aren’t permanently fixed, you can easily remove them when eating or cleaning your teeth.

How does it work?

During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss the parts of your smile you want to change and assess your suitability for SureSmile. Any gum disease or tooth decay must be treated first to ensure a solid foundation for your new smile.

Using a 3D model of your teeth, we’ll create a treatment plan that predicts your teeth’s movement at each stage. Our digital lab will then produce your customized aligners. Wear your aligners for 20–22 hours daily, removing them only to eat or brush. Every two weeks, switch to a new pair of aligners as your teeth gradually shift into the correct position. While treatment durations vary, most patients in our office have achieved their goals in 12 months or less. You’ll receive a retainer to maintain your beautiful results once your aligners come off.

Who can benefit?

SureSmile is as effective as traditional braces or Invisalign. Visit a SureSmile provider if you are struggling with the following orthodontic issues.

  • Spacing: Gaps between teeth can affect the appearance of your smile and may lead to issues like food getting trapped, which can cause gum irritation or decay. SureSmile closes these gaps, giving you a more uniform smile and improved oral health.
  • Misalignment: Crooked or misaligned teeth affect your appearance and contribute to bite issues, speech difficulties, and uneven wear on your teeth. SureSmile straightens teeth, enhancing function and aesthetics.
  • Malocclusion: A malocclusion or bad bite occurs when upper and lower teeth don’t meet when you close your mouth. Malocclusions such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites can cause problems with chewing, speaking, and jaw pain. SureSmile corrects the bite, leading to improved functionality and long-term dental health.
  • Overcrowding: When insufficient space in your mouth, your teeth can overlap, twist, or become misaligned. Overcrowded teeth can complicate oral hygiene, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease. SureSmile realigns these teeth, improving aesthetics and oral hygiene.
