What are Clear Aligners?

Unlike metal braces, which are bonded directly to the teeth and connected with wires, clear aligners are custom-made trays or removable devices fabricated from special materials. They are not permanently attached to the teeth and can be easily removed whenever necessary. Each patient is specially fitted with a custom-made retainer tray that fits over the teeth like a mouthguard. As the teeth begin to move and straighten over a period of weeks, a new retainer tray will be made. In general, the entire teeth straightening process can be accomplished in 12 to 18 months.

SureSmile is a type of invisible aligner that offers similar advantages to other brands like Invisalign, but at a more affordable price while maintaining the same quality and results. The treatment is fully supervised by a qualified dentist from start to finish, using custom-made clear aligners designed to meet each patient’s specific needs.

Benefits of Invisible teeth straightening

Patients can gain numerous benefits when they straighten their teeth using Invisible dental aligners. These include the following:

  • Improved appearance. Crooked or misaligned teeth can look unattractive and can erode a person’s confidence. This can have a detrimental effect on overall quality of life and can even keep people from having the self-worth necessary to move forward in their career or make friends. In less than two years, invisible teeth aligners can transform a patient’s smile and boost their self-image.
  • Thers is not foods restrictions since you can remove the retainers as needed.
  • Emergency visits to the dentist are rare, since there is no need to tighten brackets or replace wires.
  • Easier to clean and maintain. Keeping the trays pristine simply involves removing them, brushing them with toothpaste and warm water and replacing them in the mouth.
  • Clear retainers are more comfortable with less tension and minimal pain or scraping against your gums, tongue or teeth.
  • Safe for people of all ages, including children.
  • When issues like bite problems and crowding occur, cavities and other dental difficulties can arise. Dental aligners address these concerns, leading to better long-term oral health.

How do SureSmile clear aligners work?

Invisible braces are custom-made and make use of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth over a period of months. New retainers are given to you at regular intervals as the positioning of your teeth gradually improves.

Am I a SureSmile Clear Aligners candidate?

Although clear aligners were originally designed for busy adults with mild to moderate bite issues, they can be an effective way to straighten the teeth of numerous patients of various ages and lifestyles. Nevertheless, not everyone is a good candidate.

Clear Aligners might be right for you if you:

  • Are a teenager or adult who wants a discreet way to straighten your teeth.
  • Wore metal braces in the past and now need to correct minor issues that have arisen since you stopped wearing your retainer.
  • Have mild to moderate bite issues in just a few teeth. More serious malocclusions need to be addressed with metal braces since they can apply more pressure.
  • Have a mild overbite, underbite or crossbite. Major jaw issues are best corrected through the use of traditional braces.
  • Have crowded teeth.

Clear Aligners vs Traditional Braces

As you consider your various teeth straightening options, you are probably wondering how invisible teeth aligners differ from old-school bracket-and-wire braces. The following distinctions will help to clarify this issue:

Clear Aligners vs Traditional Braces

Are Clear Aligners better than braces?

For many patients, the answer is an unqualified “yes.” That’s because invisible braces are virtually painless, much more discreet, can be taken out when eating, brushing teeth or flossing, and yield impressive results for many mild to moderate dental conditions that result in crooked teeth. That being said, dental aligners are not for everyone. People who have severe malocclusion problems need the added constant pressure that traditional braces can apply to the jaw.

Are Clear Aligners cheaper than braces?

In general, teeth aligners cost about the same as traditional braces. Traditional braces typically range in price from $1,800 to $5,500. Invisible braces usually cost between $3,000 and $5,000. What you will pay for your dental aligners will depend on several factors, including where you are located, the amount of attention and work that straightening your teeth will involve, and the type of insurance you have.

How long does SureSmile treatment take?

Each person’s dental configuration and lifestyle is unique to them. Therefore, it is impossible to give a one-size-fits-all answer to this question. Factors that affect the duration of your clear aligners treatment in Miami include the severity of the alignment issues, crowding or gaps in your teeth, your willingness and ability to follow the prescribed treatment plan and even genetics that can affect how quickly your teeth move. On average, however, teeth straightening treatment with SureSmile clear aligners in Miami takes between 6 - 18 months.

Proper invisible aligners care

Just as is the case with your natural teeth, invisible aligners need to be taken care of properly. Ideally, you should clean your retainer every time you brush your teeth. To do so, start by rinsing it in lukewarm water. Apply toothpaste to a soft-bristled toothbrush, cleaning both the inside and outside of the appliance with small, circular motions. When done, rinse it again with lukewarm water, and inspect the retainer for any evidence of a cloudy, white film. If you see this build-up, soak your invisible braces in a retainer cleaning solution according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Cost of SureSmile Clear Aligners in Miami

You can expect to pay anywhere from $3,000 to $8000 for a SureSmile clear aligner treatment in Miami. As you might expect, milder cases requiring less extensive treatment will be more economical. Aria Smile Design offers affordable and competitive prices for clear aligners starting at $2499 that include dental cleaning and a complete treatment plan designed by our specialists.

FAQs

Although clear aligners are definitely more comfortable than traditional braces, they can still bring on some mild discomfort, particularly during the first week. This is because they are exerting pressure on your teeth to move in the desired direction. In most cases, this mild discomfort abates after just a few days. Some users never feel any pain at all.
The retainers can be molded to fit over a crown just as it would to a natural tooth, making it a viable option even if you have crowns. In terms of veneers, tooth alignment retainers can be used as long as the veneer material is properly bonded and durable. The only caveat is that these alignment retainers should not be attached to the veneer itself. Most of the time, dental aligners can be used even if you have a bridge; your dentist in Miami would simply work around it. If you already have one or more dental implants, your doctor may be able to configure your dental aligners to work around the fixed implant.
Many companies consider this treatment to be no different from standard braces. Your insurer might pay for a certain percentage of the treatment cost or give you a specific dollar amount. Most providers impose a lifetime cap on what will be paid for orthodontic treatment of any kind. Aria doesn’t accept any insurance plan at this moment, but you can opt for one of our financing providers.
During this visit, your dentist will let you know if you are a good candidate for clear teeth aligners. This is your opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the process. Should you decide to go forward, X-rays will be taken of your mouth and jaw and impressions made to record what your dental situation was before treatment. These images and the orthodontist’s or dentist’s impressions will be sent to the aligner manufacturer, who will make your custom trays.
Yes. Your aligners can be stained by dark sodas, colored juices, coffee, tee, red wine, tobacco or foods. The liners can also be stained by tartar build-up if they are not cleaned properly. As a general rule, remove your retainers before you consume any food or drink that would stain your clothing.
Yes, but follow these rules: Always remove your retainers before you eat. Don’t drink anything except water with your retainers in place. Finally, resist the temptation to have a small sip or a single bite with your aligners in place as they can be easily cracked or stained.
The treatment takes an average of 12 months. Your dentist or orthodontist will let you know your estimated completion time and can keep you updated as your teeth begin to move in the desired direction.
That depends on your dentist. Some only require two appointments while others ask that you check in every few weeks to assess progress and make tweaks.
