SureSmile® Clear Aligners

Straighten Teeth Without Metal Braces

Crooked teeth can make you self-conscious about your smile, but traditional metal braces just aren’t for everyone. Whether you’re a working professional, a teen, or someone who’s had braces before and seen shifting over time, you deserve a comfortable solution that fits your life.

At Vida Dental Studio in Santa Fe, we offer SureSmile® clear aligners, a subtle and effective way to straighten your teeth without the look or feel of metal brackets and wires.

Why SureSmile?

SureSmile (similar to Invisalign®) uses a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom-designed to guide your teeth into better alignment.

With no metal and no tightening appointments, the system is known for its convenience, comfort, and aesthetics.

We may recommend SureSmile to address:

Crowded or crooked teeth
Gaps or spacing between teeth
Overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite
Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
Minor to moderate alignment issues in teens and adults

SureSmile is effective for many common orthodontic concerns, but complex bite issues or severe misalignment may require traditional orthodontics or a hybrid approach. We’ll perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine if SureSmile is right for you.

How is SureSmile Different From Invisalign?

Technology and Precision
SureSmile incorporates advanced technology, including 3D imaging and robotics. The main advantage is its emphasis on precision planning, which can potentially lead to shorter treatment times.

Case Complexity
We like SureSmile for more advanced smile changes, since it can be more effective for trickier malocclusion issues.

Cost Considerations
While SureSmile uses a similar technology to Invisalign, SureSmile treatment may be more affordable in some cases.

What’s So Great About SureSmile?

There are a lot of reasons why adults and teens appreciate orthodontic treatment with clear aligners like SureSmile:

Discreet Appearance: The aligners are nearly invisible when worn.
Removable Convenience: Take them out to eat, brush, floss, or for special occasions.
More Comfortable: No brackets, no wires, and no poking.
Easy Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss as you normally would, no extra tools required.
Fewer Office Visits: No monthly wire adjustments for potentially fewer appointments than traditional braces.
Predictable Results: Computerized treatment planning allows us to visualize your progress from start to finish.

What to Expect: The SureSmile Process in Santa Fe

We start with a thorough consultation and digital scan to evaluate your bite and build a custom treatment plan.

1. Digital Impressions & Treatment Plan
Using advanced intraoral scanning, we create a precise 3D model of your teeth. This digital model allows us to map out each step of your treatment. Your aligners are then made from a patented, medical-grade plastic designed for comfort as they guide your teeth into place.

3. Active Treatment Phase
Wear your aligners 20–22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink anything besides water, and clean your teeth. Most patients change aligners every 1–2 weeks, depending on their treatment plan. During this time, we’ll schedule quick, regular check-ins to ensure everything is tracking as planned.

4. Retention Phase
Once your treatment is complete, we’ll provide you with retainers to help maintain your new smile. Wearing your retainers as directed is crucial to prevent teeth from shifting over time.

How Long Does Treatment Take?

Most treatments take between 6 and 18 months, depending on the complexity of your case and your compliance with wear instructions. Mild cases may be completed in just a few months. During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalized estimate based on your needs.
