How do I know if clear aligners are right for me?

They can work well for crowding, gaps, and many bite issues if your gums and teeth are healthy. At your consult, we review your goals and bite to confirm aligners are a good fit.

How many hours a day do I need to wear them?

You’ll usually wear trays about 20–22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat, drink anything but water, and brush or floss.

What is it like adjusting to SureSmile aligners at first?

Most people adjust quickly. The trays are discreet, you can remove them for meals and photos, and any slight change in speech usually fades within a few days.

How often will I need to change aligner trays?

Most patients switch to a new set every one to two weeks, following a schedule designed to keep tooth movement gentle and predictable.

How long does clear aligner treatment usually take?

Treatment time varies based on your goals and alignment needs, but many patients see results in several months with consistent wear.

How Clear Aligner Treatment Works

Progress is carefully guided and monitored to move your smile forward with confidence.

01. Consultation & Assessment

We review your smile goals, examine your bite, and confirm that clear aligners are the right option for you. This step helps set realistic expectations and outcomes.

02. Digital Scanning & Planning

Digital scans and photos are used to create a custom 3D treatment plan. Each stage of tooth movement is mapped so progress is predictable and precise.

03. Aligner Fitting & Start

You receive your first sets of aligners along with simple wear and care guidance. A schedule for tray changes is provided so you know what to expect.

04. Progress Tracking & Refinement

Regular check-ins allow us to monitor movement and comfort. If needed, small refinements are made to help achieve the best possible result.
