The SureSmile® system delivers faster and more precise orthodontic treatment compared to traditional braces. In fact, patients often experience up to 40% shorter treatment times. Many people dream of a beautifully aligned smile but hesitate due to the lengthy time braces typically require. However, SureSmile® doesn’t speed up tooth movement; rather, it enhances precision so teeth shift efficiently and comfortably at a natural pace.
Utilizing advanced 3D imaging, dentists can examine your teeth from all angles to map out a tailored treatment plan. The braces themselves are custom-designed by computer software and respond to your body heat for optimal effectiveness.

- Significantly shorter treatment duration.
How can SureSmile® improve my smile?
With its enhanced precision, SureSmile® helps patients achieve straighter teeth and healthier smiles. The technology minimizes discomfort by maximizing the efficiency of the archwires. Many patients dislike adjustment appointments because they can cause pain; SureSmile® reduces these visits and the associated discomfort while improving treatment outcomes. This system is suitable for patients of all ages, provided they have generally healthy teeth and gums.
What should I expect when getting SureSmile® braces?
Your orthodontist will first examine your mouth to check for any decay or gum disease that might need treatment before starting. Then, a 3D model of your teeth is created using a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan or an OraScanner. These detailed images reveal every tooth, root, nerve, and blood vessel with great clarity.
Using advanced 3D software, your dentist simulates various treatment options to find the best approach. This software even allows them to preview your final bite alignment before treatment begins.
Once your plan is finalized, the SureSmile® robot fabricates a custom Copper NiTi shape-memory archwire. This wire applies gentle, consistent pressure to gradually move your teeth into the correct position. Unlike traditional wires that require frequent manual adjustments, SureSmile® wires are activated by body heat and adjust automatically. This means fewer office visits, less discomfort, and faster progress.
