SureSmile: A Precise and Cost-Effective Alternative
SureSmile® clear aligners use advanced 3D imaging and robotic technology to plan and fabricate aligners with remarkable precision. While less well-known than SureSmile, Invisalign offers several compelling benefits — especially for patients with mild to moderate alignment needs.
- Treatment Efficiency: SureSmile’s planning software and precise aligner design often allow for shorter treatment times.
- Cost-Effectiveness: SureSmile is generally more affordable, making it a great choice for patients on a budget who still want excellent results.
- Comfort and Fit: SureSmile aligners are custom-made for your teeth and designed for comfort, though they typically offer fewer advanced customization options than Invisalign.
- Considerations: Because SureSmile is newer to the market, it may not be ideal for the most complex cases — but it’s a strong contender for many patients seeking an efficient, discreet solution.
- Vibration Technology: Vibration technology, is often used alongside clear aligners to help teeth move more efficiently. These FDA-cleared devices deliver gentle, high-frequency vibrations that stimulate bone remodeling, supporting faster tooth movement and potentially shortening overall treatment time—while remaining comfortable and easy to use at home.
- Best for: Mild to moderate orthodontic needs, patients seeking a more budget-friendly option, and those prioritizing shorter treatment times.

SureSmile® & Invisalign® Clear Aligners Technology
Digital Dental Scans
Dental scans make the clear aligner process more comfortable, precise, and efficient from the very first visit. Instead of traditional, messy impressions, advanced digital scanners quickly capture a detailed 3D image of your teeth, making the experience easy and gag-free. These high-resolution scans allow your dentist to design aligners that fit snugly and comfortably, reducing irritation and improving overall wearability. Digital scans also enhance accuracy, which means better tooth movement, more predictable results, and fewer adjustments along the way. Plus, because the scans are instant, treatment planning can begin right away, helping you start your clear aligner journey sooner with confidence and comfort.
