If you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth, there’s no better time to start than now. August 11 is National Align Your Teeth Day, making this month an ideal time to explore your options for orthodontic care. At Wyoming Dental, we’re proud to offer SureSmile aligners. They are an advanced, comfortable, and discreet way to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
But how do you know if SureSmile is right for you? Let’s walk through some of the most important factors to consider before beginning aligner treatment.
SureSmile aligners are a modern alternative to traditional braces. Instead of metal brackets and wires, they use a series of custom-made clear trays that gradually move your teeth into place. The aligners are nearly invisible, removable, and designed for comfort and convenience.
SureSmile works well for many people, but it’s not the best fit for every case. During your consultation, your dentist will evaluate your oral health, bite alignment, and treatment goals. You may be a good candidate if you:
One of the biggest benefits of SureSmile Aligners is flexibility. You can take them out to eat, brush, and floss, which makes daily care easier than with traditional braces. However, it also means you must be disciplined about wearing them as directed. If you tend to misplace things or struggle with sticking to routines, this is something to consider. Not wearing aligners as directed will lengthen your treatment time.
SureSmile Aligners can be a great option for both teens and adults, but your mouth should be in good health before starting treatment. That means no active gum disease, untreated cavities, or infections. Younger patients may also need a growth assessment to make sure aligners are the best choice for their stage of development.
SureSmile treatment typically takes anywhere from six to 18 months, depending on the complexity of your case. During that time, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners every couple of weeks and check in with our office periodically to track your progress.
August 11 is National Align Your Teeth Day. So this month is a perfect time to take that first step. Starting your treatment this month puts you on track for noticeable results in time for upcoming holidays, special events, or even just a renewed sense of confidence.
