When you think of orthodontic treatment, you might picture a teenager with a mouth full of metal braces. However, more and more adults are seeking orthodontic solutions to achieve the straight, beautiful smile they’ve always wanted. Aligner treatment (SureSmile) has emerged as a popular option for adults due to its discreet, convenient, and effective approach to teeth straightening. At Family Dental Clinic West End, we are committed to helping our adult patients achieve their dental goals with confidence and ease.
Many adults desire a straighter smile but are hesitant to get traditional braces due to their noticeable appearance and potential discomfort. SureSmile offers a solution with clear aligners that are virtually invisible. These aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth and gently move them into the desired position over time.
One of the key reasons adults opt for SureSmile is its aesthetic appeal. The clear aligners are difficult to detect, making them a great option for professionals who are concerned about their appearance during important meetings, presentations, or social events. Additionally, aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, and brushing, allowing for greater flexibility and convenience compared to traditional braces.
The journey to a straighter smile with an aligner begins with a consultation at Family Dental Clinic West End. During this visit, our experienced dental professionals will evaluate your teeth and discuss your goals to determine if aligner treatment is the right option for you. If you’re a suitable candidate, we’ll take digital impressions of your teeth using advanced 3D imaging technology. This allows us to create a precise treatment plan and design your custom aligners.
Once your aligners are ready, you’ll start wearing them for 20 to 22 hours a day, only removing them to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Approximately every two weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners, each slightly adjusted to continue moving your teeth into the correct position. Regular check-ups at our clinic will ensure your treatment is progressing as planned and allow for any necessary adjustments.
Aligner treatment offers numerous benefits for adults looking to improve their smiles:
Discreet Appearance: The clear aligners are nearly invisible, making them an ideal choice for adults who want to straighten their teeth without drawing attention.
Comfort and Convenience: Aligners are made from smooth plastic, reducing the risk of irritation that can occur with metal braces. The ability to remove the aligners makes eating, drinking, and oral hygiene much more manageable.
Fewer Dietary Restrictions: Unlike traditional braces, which come with a list of foods to avoid, SureSmile aligners allow you to enjoy your favourite foods without worry. Simply remove the aligners before eating and reinsert them after brushing your teeth.
Improved Oral Health: Straighter teeth are easier to clean, which can lead to better overall oral health. With SureSmile aligners, you can maintain your regular brushing and flossing routine without any special tools or techniques.
Boosted Confidence: A straight, beautiful smile can significantly enhance your confidence and self-esteem, positively impacting your personal and professional life.
Aligner treatment (SureSmile) can address a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. However, it’s important to consult with a qualified dental professional to determine if aligner treatment is the best option for your specific needs. At Family Dental Clinic West End, our team is dedicated to providing personalised care and will guide you through the entire process, ensuring you achieve the best possible results.
Aligner treatment (SureSmile) has revolutionised orthodontic treatment, making it easier and more convenient for adults to achieve the smile they’ve always wanted. With its discreet appearance, comfort, and effectiveness, Aligner treatment (SureSmile) is an excellent choice for adults seeking a straighter smile at any age. If you’re ready to embark on your journey to a more confident you, contact Family Dental Clinic West End today to schedule your consultation and take the first step towards a brighter, healthier smile.
