Who Can SureSmile® Help?
SureSmile® is a great orthodontic treatment, especially for patients who want a way to pursue a straighter smile without the metal. With that said, it’s not ideal for patients with severe misalignment. Instead, it’s recommended for patients who are struggling with mild to moderate cases of the following orthodontic problems:

If there isn’t enough room in your mouth for your teeth to sit in their ideal positions, they will rotate out of position, overlapping in the process. Unfortunately, this can lead to everything from low self-esteem to an increased risk of tooth decay. That’s why we recommend scheduling an appointment at our office! That way, our Owasso dentist can help determine if you’re a good candidate for SureSmile® clear aligners.
Gaps Between Teeth
Whether you’re struggling to smile confidently because there are several smaller spaces throughout your mouth or because there is a large gap between your two front teeth, don’t hesitate to schedule a SureSmile® consultation with us. After all, this clear aligner system has helped countless patients in the same boat. If you’re a good candidate, then your teeth-straightening journey will be entirely metal-free!
Overbite
Although your upper teeth should sit in front of your lower ones, several issues can arise if they protrude significantly, including trouble enunciating clearly. If this sounds all too familiar, you might be wondering if SureSmile® can fix overbites, and the answer is often “yes!” So, don’t just assume that your only path to a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing smile involves metal.
Underbite
What if you are struggling with the opposite problem (your lower teeth sit in front of the upper ones)? Is SureSmile® still an option? The easiest way to find out is by scheduling a consultation at our office so we can get an in-depth understanding of your dental history, needs, and goals. If we determine that clear aligners are right for you, then we will get to work creating your custom treatment plan.
Crossbite
If you have a crossbite, you’ll be happy to hear that this Invisalign alternative may be the solution you’ve been looking for. If that’s the case, then we will solidify the details of your treatment plan, including if attachments, buttons, or any other orthodontic accessories are needed. Before you know it, you’ll have the smile that you’ve always wanted.
Open Bite
If you haven’t heard of an open bite before, it’s when there is a gap between the upper and lower teeth that prevents them from meeting. Even in relatively minor cases, several issues can arise, including premature wear and tear on certain teeth. So, it’s best to explore your treatment options, like SureSmile®, sooner rather than later.
How Does SureSmile® Work?
SureSmile clear aligners are a modern and discreet orthodontic treatment that straightens your teeth without needing metal brackets and wires. Instead, they use a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gently shift your teeth into a straight, beautiful smile.
When you first visit your Owasso SureSmile dentist, he will take digital impressions of your teeth to create a 3D model of your mouth. Dr. Lim will use this model to create a series of aligners, each one designed to gradually shift your teeth into alignment. He will then provide you with a set of aligners to wear for two weeks each before moving on to the next set in the series.
Benefits of SureSmile®
SureSmile clear aligners set themselves apart from traditional wire and bracket braces and are a great Invisalign alternative because the aligners are clear and removable. This means you can still eat your favorite foods without fearing breaking a bracket or wire. Plus, you can take them out for brushing and flossing, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene throughout your treatment.
SureSmile clear aligners are also designed with comfort in mind. The aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth precisely, so you won’t experience the discomfort or irritation that can come with metal braces. The smooth plastic material is also less likely to cause cuts or sores in your mouth, which can be a common issue with traditional braces!
Another benefit of SureSmile clear aligners is the discretion they offer. The clear plastic material blends in with your teeth, making them virtually invisible. This means you can straighten your teeth without feeling self-conscious about your appearance, unlike traditional braces, where the metal brackets and wires are much more noticeable. This makes SureSmile a top choice for adults and teens.
