While crooked teeth can cause a hit to your smile, beauty, and self-confidence, alignment issues can also cause various functional problems. Misalignment puts extra pressure on your teeth and jawbone, leading to uneven enamel wear, receding gums, chipped teeth, gum disease, and even tooth loss. If you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth and decided traditional orthodontics aren’t for you, SureSmile clear aligners in Fort Wayne, IN, or Auburn, IN, may be the perfect solution.
Metal braces require fixed metal wires and rubber bands that are intrusive and often uncomfortable. When you choose SureSmile at Sedation & Implant Dentistry, you’ll wear transparent, removable, and nearly invisible aligners designed to move your teeth gently and progressively into the targeted position. The optional SureSmile® VPro™ is an at-home device used five minutes a day that delivers gentle vibrations to help aligners fit better, potentially reducing discomfort.
If you’re looking for an orthodontist near you who offers an alternative to Invisalign, you’ve found the right practice. The first step is a consultation with Dr. David Painter to determine whether clear aligners in Fort Wayne, IN, and Auburn, IN, or traditional orthodontics are the best solution. If you qualify for invisible aligners, we digitally scan your teeth, then partner with the SureSmile® Digital Lab to create an individualized treatment plan. Clear aligners are fabricated by SureSmile lab technicians from Essix ACE® plastic with smooth edges and advanced technology that delivers precision results.
As with Invisalign, you must wear clear aligners 20 to 22 hours daily and switch to a new set every two weeks. You’ll meet with Dr. Painter periodically to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. While the length of treatment depends on the severity of your case and compliance, in general, it takes six months to two years to achieve the desired alignment. After you complete your treatment plan, we may recommend a retainer to help you maintain your new smile.
SureSmile is an alternative for many children with mild crowding without the hassle of traditional braces. SureSmile for Kids uses the same technology but with unique characteristics targeted at younger mouths. For this protocol to be successful, your child must be able and willing to wear their clear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day. Dr. Painter will explain the process to you and your child before tailored treatment begins, ensuring you fully understand what’s involved.
Teenagers typically have a lot on their plates, from hormonal changes to peer pressure. When crooked teeth necessitate braces, this can add to normal teenage angst. SureSmile Teen is specifically designed for the unique orthodontic needs of growing teens and changing dental structures.
SureSmile makes it far easier to brush and floss teeth, play sports, attend school, and maintain an active lifestyle. The only downside is that if your teen struggles with wearing aligners as often as they should, it will take longer for their teeth to shift correctly.
If you’re struggling with confidence due to misaligned teeth, it’s not too late to consider straightening them. SureSmile is an ideal clear aligner system to help you achieve your dental health and cosmetic goals because it won’t impact your daily life. SureSmile can treat mild to moderate orthodontic issues and resolve minor tooth movement after previous orthodontic treatment.
