Even better, these aligners can straighten your teeth in about half the time of traditional braces. At Karen J Harris & Associates, the aligners are made of higher quality materials, so they don’t stain.

The Advantages of SureSmile Aligners in St. Louis, MO

There are several advantages of using SureSmile. SureSmile uses an approach called digital scanning, which allows our dentists to create a 3-D model of your smile. Then, our dentist in St. Louis, MO, can use SureSmile software to virtually design your smile and provide you with a treatment plan. The biggest advantages of using SureSmile are:

  • Shorter Treatment Times

SureSmile uses innovative orthodontic technology, including SureSmile’s digital scanning and digital treatment planning, to significantly reduce treatment times. SureSmile’s digital scanning allows our dentist in St. Louis, MO, to create a 3-D model of your smile, and the software uses your 3-D model to design your personalized plan.

SureSmile’s digital scanning and digital treatment planning allow our dentist to accurately plan your treatment from start to finish, which eliminates the need for manual adjustments. 

SureSmile’s software even creates a virtual simulation of the movements your teeth will make during treatment, allowing you to see what your teeth will look like after treatment is complete. With SureSmile, you spend less time in braces compared to traditional metal braces.

  • Fewer Office Visits

SureSmile uses fully customized treatment planning, which uses your digital 3-D model to design your treatment plan. Our dentist in 63103 takes your digital 3-D model and virtually designs your treatment from start to finish. SureSmile’s software even creates a virtual simulation of the movements your teeth will make during treatment, allowing you to see what your teeth will look like after treatment is complete.

Once your treatment plan is complete, your customized plan is sent to the SureSmile lab. The lab technicians use SureSmile’s robotic automation to create customized archwires and brackets for your treatment. 

  • Comfortable Treatment

The SureSmile Process

Then, our dentist will send a 3D image of your teeth to SureSmile. SureSmile will create a treatment plan that our dentist will review with you. Our dentist in 63103 may also have you come in for a final appointment to look over the proposed treatment plan and make adjustments to make it perfect for you.

Maintenance and Care Tips

Taking care of your SureSmile Clear Aligners in St. Louis, MO, is essential to ensure they work effectively and comfortably. 

  • Make sure to remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent staining and damage. 
  • Clean your aligners daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild soap to keep them clear and odor-free. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic material.
