Achieve a Straighter Smile with SureSmile

If you’re looking for a straighter, more comfortable smile but want to avoid the hassle of traditional metal braces, Van Huffel DDS offers a modern solution: SureSmile Clear Aligners. This advanced teeth-straightening system provides an effective, discreet alternative to braces.

What Are SureSmile Clear Aligners?

SureSmile uses a series of clear, custom-made aligner trays that gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment, without the need for metal wires or brackets. These aligners are designed for comfort, convenience, and subtlety, allowing you to straighten your teeth with confidence.

Benefits of SureSmile Clear Aligners

SureSmile offers numerous advantages over traditional braces, including:

• Discreet: The nearly invisible aligners allow you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention.
• Convenient: You can remove the aligners during meals, simplifying eating and oral hygiene.
• Fewer Dental Visits: SureSmile requires fewer adjustments, saving you time.
• Comfortable: No metal brackets mean less irritation to your gums and cheeks.
• Reduced Discomfort: Gradual adjustments lead to less soreness compared to traditional braces.
• Faster Treatment: SureSmile often provides faster results, depending on your treatment plan.
• Improved Results: The custom-fit aligners ensure precise, effective teeth alignment.

How Does SureSmile Work?

Your journey with SureSmile begins with a consultation at Van Huffel DDS. Dr. Van Huffel will evaluate your teeth, discuss your smile goals, and take 3D digital impressions of your mouth. These digital impressions are then uploaded into the SureSmile system, which creates a personalized treatment plan.

Each set of clear aligners is designed to shift your teeth gradually. You’ll wear each set for 20 to 22 hours a day, including while you sleep, changing trays every two weeks. By the time you finish your final set, your teeth will be in their ideal positions.

How Long Does SureSmile Treatment Take?

Treatment length varies depending on the complexity of your case. Minor corrections may take just a few months, while more extensive treatments can range from two to six months. Dr. Van Huffel will provide you with a personalized timeline during your consultation.

Why Straightening Your Teeth Matters

While a straighter smile improves your appearance, it also plays a crucial role in your oral health. Crooked teeth are harder to clean, increasing the risk of tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease. Misaligned bites can also cause discomfort and issues such as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), which can lead to pain and difficulty chewing or speaking. Straightening your teeth can enhance both your oral hygiene and bite, leading to better overall dental health.

Is SureSmile Right for You?

SureSmile Clear Aligners are an excellent option for teens and adults with mild to more complex alignment issues. However, success depends on following the prescribed treatment plan, so SureSmile is best for patients committed to wearing their aligners consistently.
