At My Family Dental, we understand that a confident, beautiful smile can greatly improve one's self-esteem and overall quality of life. That's why we're proud to offer our patients the innovative SureSmile® system – an advanced orthodontic treatment option that delivers exceptional results with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
What is SureSmile?
The SureSmile system combines state-of-the-art technology and advanced materials to provide a more comfortable, convenient, and discreet alternative to traditional braces. Using 3D digital imaging and sophisticated software, our dental team can create a precise treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
How Does SureSmile Work?
SureSmile aligners are custom-made from smooth, clear plastic that fits snugly over your teeth. Each set of aligners is designed to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position, with small adjustments made at regular intervals. Unlike traditional braces, which require frequent office visits for adjustments, SureSmile aligners can be worn and removed by you at home.
Here's a step-by-step overview of the SureSmile process:
Consultation: During your initial consultation with Dr. Matt Yurchak or one of our skilled dental professionals, we'll discuss your orthodontic goals and determine if SureSmile is right for you.
3D Digital Imaging: We'll take a series of digital images of your teeth using our advanced intraoral scanner. These images will be used to create a detailed 3D model of your mouth, allowing us to plan your treatment with precision.
Treatment Planning: Using specialized software, we'll map out the exact movements required to achieve your desired smile. This information is sent to the SureSmile lab, where your custom aligners are manufactured.
Aligners Delivery: Once your aligners have been created, you'll return to our office for a fitting. We'll ensure that each aligner fits properly and provide you with detailed instructions on how to wear them.
Treatment Progress: You'll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before moving on to the next set in your series. Regular check-ups at our office will help us monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
Retention: After your teeth have been successfully aligned, we'll provide you with a retainer to help maintain your new smile. Wearing your retainer as directed is essential for long-lasting results.
The Benefits of SureSmile Aligners
SureSmile offers numerous advantages over traditional braces, making it an attractive option for both teens and adults seeking a straighter, more confident smile. Some of the key benefits include:
Discretion: SureSmile aligners are made from clear plastic, making them virtually invisible to others. This allows you to straighten your teeth without drawing unwanted attention to your orthodontic treatment.
Comfort: Unlike traditional braces, which can cause discomfort and irritation due to brackets and wires, SureSmile aligners are smooth and comfortable to wear. They also eliminate the risk of mouth sores or cuts caused by metal braces.
Convenience: With SureSmile, there's no need for frequent office visits for adjustments. You can simply remove your aligners when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, making it easy to maintain good oral hygiene throughout your treatment.
Predictable Results: The advanced technology used in the SureSmile system allows us to predict with a high degree of accuracy how your teeth will move during treatment. This means you can see a virtual representation of your new smile before you even begin your orthodontic journey.
Shorter Treatment Times: In many cases, SureSmile treatment can be completed in less time than traditional braces, helping you achieve the smile you've always wanted faster.
Is SureSmile Right for You?
SureSmile is an effective and convenient orthodontic solution for a wide range of dental issues, including:
Crowded teeth
Gapped teeth
Misaligned bite (overbite, underbite, crossbite)

However, it's essential to consult with our dental team to determine if SureSmile is the best treatment option for your specific needs. In some cases, traditional braces or other orthodontic appliances may be more appropriate.
