Crooked teeth can have a huge impact on self-confidence. However, malocclusion can also sometimes affect oral health. Traditional metal braces have been the go-to solution to straighten teeth for decades. However, many people are reluctant to wear metal braces because they’re uncomfortable and have restrictions. Thanks to advances in modern orthodontics, Dr. Osayomore Eguakun at Divine Dental Center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, has a more comfortable and attractive option: SureSmile clear aligners.
SureSmile clear aligners are almost invisible, so you can smile with confidence while you discreetly straighten your teeth. Traditional metal braces are bulky and noticeable; many would prefer not to deal with this. With clear braces that blend seamlessly with your smile, you can more comfortably interact in business and social situations.
SureSmile clear aligners are specifically designed for your unique smile. The process starts with advanced digital scans to create a precise 3D model of your teeth. This gives you a highly tailored approach, so your aligners will gradually shift your teeth to the perfect positions.
Traditional metal braces are uncomfortable because of the metal brackets and wires. However, clear aligners are made from a smooth, high-quality plastic that fits snugly over your teeth. There’s no gum irritation. Also, SureSmile® VPro™ is a small vibrational device that makes the clear aligners even more comfortable and efficient.
One of the things patients love most about SureSmile clear aligners is that they’re removable. This means you can brush your teeth and floss just as you were able to do before you began treatment. Traditional metal braces trap food, making brushing and flossing difficult. Equally important, visit Dr. Eguakun’s office every six to eight weeks to ensure your treatment proceeds as it should.
When you opt for SureSmile clear aligners to straighten your teeth, you’ll get a predictable treatment plan tailored to your dental structure. Before you even wear your first aligners, Dr. Eguakun will show you your smile after completing your SureSmile journey.
Traditional metal braces come with a lot of food restrictions. For example, you can’t eat sticky, crunchy, or hard foods. Also, small foods like corn on the cob can get stuck in your braces. With SureSmile clear aligners, you can enjoy all of your favorite foods.
Follow these best practices for caring for your aligners while still eating the foods you love:
