SureSmile clear aligners, also called invisible braces, are removal clear braces used to rectify the alignment of your teeth. They are made from a clear retainer material called Essix Ace plastic and are customized to perfectly fit over a patient's teeth.Â
The treatment contains a series of alignment trays that periodically fit your teeth, as per the recovery rate.
In the first appointment with the dentist or orthodontist, we take 3-D scans of your mouth and plan out the aligners that are to be custom-prepared. This outline is then sent to dental labs, and in the next appointment, the removable set is placed over your teeth. The fit is checked for, and adjustments are made.Â
In the monthly follow-up visits, the aligners are changed from time to time according to the progress of your treatment. During the last appointment with the dentist, we will remove the aligners and give you retainers to keep your teeth in their new aligned positions.
Due to the flexible plastic used, the SureSmile aligners fit better over your teeth and ensure a better alignment.Â

This ensures oral hygiene and thus prevents teeth infections. The treatment time for SureSmile Aligners is much shorter than traditional metal braces, with an average of 6 months over 18 to 24 months.Â
Taking care of the braces does not require any extra attention. These are the few steps to keep in mind while using SureSmile aligners:
