What is SureSmile®?
SureSmile® is a treatment that consists of customized orthodontic archwires to straighten teeth. The technique utilizes 3-D imaging, treatment planning software, and a robot to design and create the wires. According to ORTHODONTICS: The Art and Practice of Dentofacial Enhancement, this procedure may decrease the length of time required to complete orthodontic treatment by 34 percent while increasing the precision of the results.

How Does SureSmile® Work?
The orthodontist takes digital images of a patient’s mouth and teeth using either a white light scanner or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The software allows the orthodontist to individually align each tooth into its proper position. Once the orthodontist has digitally designed the smile and bite, SureSmile® software maps the most efficient and direct route for moving teeth into place and transmits this information to a robot that crafts the wires individually for each patient. The custom-crafted wire is then sent back to the orthodontist, ready to be worn by the patient.

How Do I Know if SureSmile® is Right for Me?
Most orthodontic patients may be suitable candidates for SureSmile®, but the best way to determine if SureSmile® is right for you is to visit Sequence Orthodontics for a consultation to determine whether you are a candidate for SureSmile®.
How Long Will I Have to Wear SureSmile®?
The length of SureSmile® treatment varies from patient to patient, typically ranging between six and 20 months. Studies have shown that SureSmile® treatment is typically 33 percent shorter than conventional treatment.
Is The SureSmile® Treatment Painful or Uncomfortable?
Treatment with SureSmile® may produce very mild soreness in the gums and jaw for a day or so after the initial wire fitting, but typically this treatment produces far less discomfort than wearing traditional metal or ceramic braces. Most patients report full comfort after a few days.
