A discreet option
What SureSmile aligners can address
Clear aligners are thin plastic trays shaped to your teeth. Each stage applies planned pressure to guide selected teeth toward a new position. They may be considered for concerns such as crowding, spacing, crooked teeth, or some bite concerns. Because the trays are removable, you take them out for eating, drinking anything besides water, brushing, and flossing.
SureSmile is not a mail-order shortcut. Treatment is doctor-directed and built around an in-person evaluation. Your plan may involve a digital scan, photographs, a preview of proposed tooth movement when available, and a series of aligners. The exact number of trays and expected timing depend on the movements your case requires.
The right starting point
Candidacy depends on more than appearance
Before starting, the dentist needs to assess your teeth, gums, bite, and relevant health history. Existing decay, gum inflammation, or other dental needs may need attention first. Aligners are not the best fit for every pattern of tooth movement; some complex cases are treated more predictably with braces, referral, or another approach.
A consultation is the honest way to learn what is possible. A digital preview is a planning aid, not a guarantee of the final result. Successful treatment also depends on wearing each tray as directed, keeping it clean, and attending check-ins so the team can respond if movement is not tracking as planned.
From scan to retention
What the treatment journey involves
Your first step is a conversation about what you want to change and an examination to determine whether aligner treatment is appropriate. If it is, we will collect the records needed for planning and review the proposed sequence with you. Once the plan is approved and the aligners arrive, the team will explain insertion, removal, cleaning, wear expectations, and what to do if a tray is lost or uncomfortable.
Regular follow-up visits help check fit, tooth movement, and oral health. After active movement, retainers are commonly recommended to help hold teeth in their new positions. Retainers require ongoing care, and teeth can shift over time; your dentist will explain the retention plan for your case.
Planning your investment
Discussing cost before treatment
There is no single SureSmile fee for every patient. The treatment plan, number of aligners, records, any needed dental care, follow-up, and retainers can affect the total. We can review an individualized estimate and current terms before you commit to treatment; call the office rather than relying on an online price.
We offer several payment options, including Visa, MasterCard, CareCredit, and Cherry, and work with numerous dental insurance companies. We also offer an in-house Discount Dental Plan (not dental insurance). Insurance benefits and financing terms vary by plan and provider. Our team will review your options before treatment. Ask the team whether your plan applies to this service and confirm current eligibility and terms.
Real words. Real reassurance.

SureSmile Clear Aligners: Your Questions, Answered.
There is no one-size-fits-all treatment plan. Bring your questions—we’ll help you understand what fits your smile.
How long do I wear SureSmile aligners each day?
Your dentist will give you case-specific wear instructions. In general, clear aligner treatment requires consistent daily wear and removal for meals and oral hygiene. Following the prescribed schedule matters because missed wear can affect tracking and timing.
Can SureSmile fix every crooked tooth or bite problem?
No. Aligners are not right for every case, and some complex movements may be more predictable with braces, referral, or another plan. An examination of your teeth, gums, bite, and goals is needed before a recommendation can be made.
Will I need to treat cavities or gum problems first?
Possibly. Active decay, gum inflammation, or other dental concerns may need attention before records are taken or aligner treatment begins. The dentist will explain the order of care for your situation.
What happens if I lose an aligner?
Contact the office for guidance rather than guessing which tray to wear next. Keep your previous aligner and case if you have them, and follow the team's instructions while a replacement or next step is considered.
