At David M. Mayer, DMD, we provide SureSmile clear aligners to help teens and adults achieve healthier, more confident smiles without the brackets and wires associated with traditional braces. Using advanced digital technology and customized treatment planning, SureSmile gently moves teeth into their ideal positions while remaining nearly invisible throughout treatment.
Understanding SureSmile® Clear Aligners
SureSmile® is an orthodontic treatment system that uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth. Each set of aligners is designed specifically for your smile and works by applying gentle, controlled pressure to move teeth over time.
Unlike traditional braces, SureSmile aligners are removable, making it easier to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain your normal oral hygiene routine. Because they are clear and virtually invisible, many patients feel more confident throughout treatment.
SureSmile can help improve both the appearance and function of your smile while addressing a variety of common orthodontic concerns.
Common Causes of Misaligned Teeth
Crooked teeth and bite issues can develop for many reasons. Some patients are born with naturally crowded teeth or spacing concerns, while others develop alignment problems over time.
Regardless of the cause, orthodontic treatment can help improve alignment, function, and overall oral health.
Common causes include:
- Genetics and jaw development
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Early loss of baby teeth
- Thumb sucking during childhood
- Teeth shifting with age
- Bite irregularities
- Previous orthodontic relapse
