SureSmile: Surpassing the Standards

SureSmile was developed in 1998 and initially used to design archwires for braces. Over the years, the company leveraged its advanced technology to expand into clear aligners, offering precise and efficient orthodontic treatments. With over two decades of innovation, SureSmile has now surpassed the standards set by Invisalign, offering more advanced features, faster treatment times, and higher precision in tooth movement. SureSmile’s 3D technology and collaboration with orthodontists have allowed it to excel in the clear aligner industry, ensuring that each treatment plan is custom-designed for the patient’s specific needs. With the addition of Vpro technology—which speeds up tooth movement and improves fit—patients are seeing faster results than ever. At Smile at Life Dentistry, we’ve experienced far more success with SureSmile than any other clear aligner system, with very few instances of failure. It has quickly become our go-to solution for clear aligner treatments due to its accuracy and consistently positive outcomes. SureSmile is a trusted brand that continues to set new standards in orthodontic care.

Why We Prefer SureSmile

  • Clearer Trays: SureSmile aligners are highly transparent, making them less noticeable compared to other aligner systems.
  • Faster Results with Vpro: SureSmile includes the Vpro device, which accelerates tooth movement for quicker treatment times.
  • Custom Orthodontist-Designed Trays: Our in-house orthodontist designs each tray for precise tooth movement.
  • Whitening and Extras Included: We offer whitening as part of your SureSmile package, along with chewies for better tray fit and convenient carry cases.
  • Digital Scanner for Accuracy: We use an advanced digital scanner to capture highly accurate impressions, ensuring a better fit and more precise results.

SureSmile’s technology has raised the bar for clear aligners, making it the industry leader in terms of precision, speed, and patient satisfaction. It’s no surprise that more patients are choosing SureSmile for their orthodontic treatment.

Invisalign: A Mainstream Clear Aligner

Invisalign has become a mainstream name in the world of orthodontics, offering a trusted and recognizable solution for clear aligner treatments. Launched in the late 1990s, Invisalign revolutionized the orthodontic industry by introducing clear plastic aligners that straighten teeth without the need for traditional braces. Over the years, it has gained popularity as a reliable option for teens and adults looking for a discreet and effective way to improve their smiles. However, it's important to note that Invisalign does not involve an orthodontist in the design of its trays. Instead, the treatment is largely algorithm-based, with aligners generated by a computer system. Additionally, Invisalign’s lab is based in Costa Rica, which can sometimes make communication with their labs challenging for quick adjustments. While Invisalign remains a trusted name with a solid track record of delivering positive results, many other aligner companies are quickly catching up in terms of technology and precision. At Smile at Life Dentistry, we are constantly evaluating the best options for our patients, ensuring that you receive the most effective treatment available.

Photovisualization: See Your New Smile Before Treatment

One of the most exciting parts of your clear aligner journey at Smile at Life Dentistry is our photovisualization process. Using our advanced digital scanner, we capture a 3D image of your teeth and utilize a simulator to show you exactly how your teeth will move over the course of treatment. This means you get an instant preview of your new smile right in the chair before deciding on clear aligners. Unlike other offices where this process can take weeks, we provide this incredible preview instantly during your consultation. We understand that sometimes it’s hard to visualize what the final result will look like, and we want you to feel 100% confident that this treatment is the right choice for you. Seeing is believing, and we make sure you’re comfortable with the outcome before moving forward.

Insurance Coverage for Clear Aligners

Did you know that insurance sometimes covers clear aligners? Our knowledgeable staff can quickly check your benefits with a simple call to your insurance provider, helping you understand your coverage options. Some plans offer coverage with age restrictions, while others provide a lifetime allowance for orthodontic treatments like clear aligners. We’re here to make sure you get the most out of your benefits and can guide you through the entire process easily.
