Am I a Good Candidate for SureSmile?

SureSmile is a great option if you have a healthy mouth, and you have minor-to-moderate orthodontic issues.
‍
Your mouth must be free of gum disease, tooth decay, and damaged or broken teeth to undergo SureSmile treatment. If you do have oral health issues and wish to be treated with SureSmile, we will take care of any decay or gum concerns prior to starting Invisalign.
‍
In addition, SureSmile may not be an appropriate treatment if you have severe orthodontic problems, such as a major overbite or underbite, or very crooked or crowded teeth. For these types of issues, orthodontic treatment with traditional metal braces may be a better option.

The Benefits of SureSmile

Why choose SureSmile over traditional metal braces? There are a wide variety of benefits to Invisalign treatment.

SureSmile is removable, so you can brush and floss easily, and continue eating your favorite foods without any dietary restrictions

Your SureSmile aligners will not irritate your mouth, and shift your teeth more gently compared to braces

Straightening your teeth helps prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and jaw-related issues like TMJ/TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder)

SureSmile is completely invisible when worn and does not affect speech

Treatment with SureSmile is typically faster than with braces, with an average treatment time of 12 months

The SureSmile Treatment Process

Initial Consultation

First, you’ll come into our office for a comprehensive oral exam. Our Columbus dentist will determine if you’re a good candidate for SureSmile. If you’re approved, he will take impressions of your teeth, and work with SureSmile to develop your treatment plan.

Receive & Wear Your Aligners

You’ll come back to our office after a few weeks to pick up your first several sets of aligners, and instructions on how to wear them. Each set is usually worn for 20-22 hours per day for one weeks, but wear time may be customized based on your specific needs.

Come in for Checkups

You’ll come into Pawlus Dental for a checkup every 6-8 weeks. We will ensure your treatment is on track, and provide you with your next few sets of aligners. This process will continue until your treatment is complete.
