Do you picture yourself with perfectly straight, even teeth but can’t imagine wearing metal braces? You’re not alone! Many adults and teens feel self-conscious about crooked teeth but worry that metal braces might not fit their lifestyle or professional image.

At Dentistry @ University Pointe, we’re pleased to offer SureSmile® clear aligners. Like Invisalign®, this discreet orthodontic treatment system gradually shifts teeth into proper alignment using clear, custom-made aligners. Whether you’re a busy professional, a college student or want seamless treatment that fits your lifestyle, SureSmile clear aligners could be the perfect choice.

Oral Health Benefits of Straight Teeth

Straightening your teeth with SureSmile enhances your appearance, boosts your confidence, and offers oral health benefits. Crooked or crowded teeth are more difficult to clean thoroughly, increasing your risk of cavities and gum disease. A misaligned dental bite also places excessive forces on teeth, leading to cracked or worn teeth and even TMJ pain and problems. Correcting these issues with clear aligners supports a healthier, more beautiful smile.

Benefits of Clear Aligner Treatment

SureSmile clear aligners are a popular orthodontic treatment that has benefitted the smiles of over a million patients. Discover why so many choose clear aligners to achieve a straighter, healthier smile.

Discreet Treatment

Superior Comfort

Custom-fitted aligners have no metal wires or brackets to cause irritation. The smooth plastic design means no uncomfortable poking or rubbing against your cheeks and gums.

Lifestyle Friendly

You can remove clear aligners for eating, drinking, and special occasions. No food restrictions or complicated cleaning routines—just pop them out when needed and enjoy life as usual.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I take care of my clear aligners?

Proper care of your SureSmile® clear aligners is essential for maintaining their clarity and effectiveness. Daily cleaning, proper storage, and following recommended wear guidelines help you get the most from your orthodontic treatment.

How to Care for Clear Aligners

Daily Cleaning Routine — Clean your aligners thoroughly each morning and evening using lukewarm water and a soft-bristled toothbrush. Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic. For best results, use a gentle antibacterial soap or specialized aligner cleaning solution recommended by your dentist.
Proper Handling — When removing your aligners for meals or oral hygiene, always store them in their protective case. Before reinserting your aligners, rinse them thoroughly and ensure your teeth are clean to prevent staining and bacteria buildup.
Maintaining Aligner Clarity — To keep your aligners clear and virtually invisible, remove them before consuming coffee, tea, wine, or other beverages that could stain them. Never eat while wearing your aligners, as this can damage them and trap food particles against your teeth.

Professional Maintenance

During your regular appointments, we'll check your aligners for wear and ensure they're functioning properly. We can also provide professional cleaning solutions and address any concerns about aligner care.

Digital Impressions

Digital impressions use an advanced intraoral scanner to create high-precision 3-D images of the teeth and gums, eliminating the need for messy traditional molds. We use this technology to plan crowns, bridges, clear aligner therapy, and other restorations for a more comfortable experience and accurate outcomes. At Dentistry @ University Pointe, our digital scanner integrates with CEREC technology, allowing us to design and mill same-day crowns with perfect fit and aesthetics. Patients benefit from faster treatment, enhanced precision, and a more pleasant dental visit.
