With this advanced technology, Dr. Randy Prewitt, Dr. Timothy Prewitt, and Dr. Quincy Sofowora provides patients with customized orthodontic care that can transform smiles without the discomfort and visibility of traditional braces.

In this blog post, we’ll explore SureSmile clear aligners, how they work, and the benefits they offer for improving smiles.

What Are SureSmile Clear Aligners?

SureSmile clear aligners straighten teeth discreetly and comfortably with a modern orthodontic treatment. Unlike traditional metal braces, SureSmile aligners use clear, medical-grade plastic, making them virtually invisible when worn. This makes them a popular choice for adults and teens who want to improve their smile without paying attention to their orthodontic treatment.

Each set of aligners is custom-made for the patient, using 3D imaging technology to ensure a precise fit and targeted tooth movement. Over time, the aligners gently shift teeth into their desired position, with patients typically switching to a new set of aligners every two weeks.

How Does the SureSmile Process Work?

The SureSmile clear aligner process begins with a consultation at Prewitt Dental in Madera Ranchos. During your initial visit, Dr. Randy Prewitt, Dr. Timothy Prewitt, or Dr. Quincy Sofowora will evaluate your oral health and determine if SureSmile is the right option for your orthodontic needs. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Initial Consultation and Digital Impressions

The first step is thoroughly examining your teeth and bite to assess whether SureSmile clear aligners can address your specific concerns. Once approved, the dentist will take digital impressions using advanced 3D scanning technology. This digital scan captures the exact structure of your teeth, allowing for a highly accurate and personalized treatment plan.

Custom Treatment Plan

Using the 3D scan, Dr. Prewitt and Dr. Sofowora will create a customized treatment plan outlining the movements your teeth undergo during treatment. You’ll even get a preview of what your smile will look like once treatment is complete. The SureSmile lab then receives your treatment plan and crafts your custom aligners.

Aligner Wear and Adjustments

Once your aligners are ready, you’ll receive your first set at Prewitt Dental. You’ll wear each set of aligners for approximately two weeks before moving on to the next set. The aligners apply gentle pressure, gradually moving your teeth into their new position. You must wear them for at least 20-22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene routines.

Regular Checkups

Throughout the treatment process, you’ll have regular checkups at Prewitt Dental to monitor your progress and ensure that your teeth are moving according to plan. These visits are usually spaced out every 6-8 weeks, and adjustments to your treatment plan can be made if necessary.

Completion of Treatment

Once your teeth have shifted into their ideal position, you’ll complete your treatment with SureSmile. Depending on your specific case, this may take a few months to over a year. To maintain your new smile, a retainer may be recommended to keep your teeth from shifting back into their previous positions.

Benefits of SureSmile Clear Aligners in Madera Ranchos

SureSmile clear aligners offer numerous advantages over traditional orthodontic treatments. Here are some of the key benefits:

Discreet Appearance

One of the biggest draws of SureSmile clear aligners is their nearly invisible appearance. The aligners are clear and fit snugly over your teeth, making them barely noticeable to others. This is especially appealing for adults who want to straighten their teeth without the look of metal braces.

Comfortable and Removable

Unlike metal brackets and wires that can irritate the inside of your mouth, SureSmile aligners are made from smooth plastic, providing a comfortable fit. Additionally, the aligners are removable, so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss without any restrictions. This flexibility also means enjoying your favorite foods without worrying about damaging your orthodontic appliance.

Custom Fit for Precision and Efficiency

SureSmile aligners are designed using advanced 3D technology, which ensures a precise and personalized fit for each patient. This level of customization leads to more efficient tooth movement and potentially shorter treatment times compared to traditional braces.

Fewer Office Visits

With SureSmile aligners, you won’t need to visit the dentist as frequently as you would with traditional braces, which require regular adjustments. Instead, you’ll change your aligners at home every two weeks and visit the dentist only for periodic checkups.

Improved Oral Health

Since SureSmile aligners are removable, it’s much easier to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment. You can brush and floss as you normally would, reducing the risk of plaque buildup, tooth decay, or gum disease, which can sometimes be a concern with traditional braces.
