How SureSmile Aligners Work
- Digital Imaging – We create a precise 3D model of your teeth using advanced scans.
- Customized Planning – Dr. Killian and Dr. Schafer design a step-by-step treatment plan tailored to your unique alignment goals.
- Fabrication of Aligners – Your aligners are made to fit snugly and comfortably while gently moving your teeth.
- Wearing the Aligners – Patients wear each set of aligners for about 1–2 weeks, only removing them for eating, brushing, and flossing.
- Monitoring Progress – Regular check-ins allow us to ensure that your teeth are moving exactly as planned.
Benefits of SureSmile Aligners in Big Rapids
1. Discreet Appearance
The clear, nearly invisible aligners allow you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention.
2. Comfort-First Design
Smooth edges prevent irritation, unlike traditional braces with wires and brackets.
3. Flexibility for Everyday Life
Enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions—remove your aligners during meals.
4. Improved Oral Hygiene
Because the aligners are removable, brushing and flossing remain easy and effective.
5. Predictable Outcomes
SureSmile’s digital planning ensures reliable, customized results.
Who Can Benefit from SureSmile Aligners?
SureSmile aligners treat a wide range of alignment concerns, including:
- Crowding
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- Mild to moderate misalignment
During your consultation, Dr. Killian or Dr. Schafer will evaluate your teeth and determine whether SureSmile is the right solution.
Complementary Services at Preference Dental
Orthodontic treatment often works best when paired with other dental services. At Preference Dental, we offer a full range of care to support your smile, including:
- Preventive dentistry to keep teeth and gums healthy during treatment
- Cosmetic dentistry for whitening or veneers, once alignment is complete
- Restorative care to repair damaged teeth before starting aligner therapy
SureSmile Aligners vs. Traditional Braces
While traditional braces remain effective, many patients prefer SureSmile aligners because they:
- They are removable for meals and oral care
- Offer a subtle, barely noticeable appearance
- Provide comfort with no wires or brackets
- Require fewer in-office adjustments
That said, metal braces may be more effective for severe cases. At Preference Dental, we help you weigh the pros and cons of each option to make the best decision for your needs.
