What Is
SureSmile? Dr. Moon uses SureSmile to deliver the most precise orthodontic treatment available. SureSmile braces are designed specifically for you using advanced technology that moves your teeth more accurately than ever before.
Once your SureSmile wire is inserted, you’ll be on your way to a beautiful, healthy smile sooner than you thought possible!
How Does
SureSmile Work? Instead of Dr. Moon bending an archwire by hand, a SureSmile wire is custom-shaped by a robot. Once the wire is inserted, each tooth moves directly to the prescribed position.
This precise, smooth movement enables great results, a more comfortable experience than traditional braces, and shorter treatment times.
Since SureSmile patients spend less time in treatment, they also make fewer visits to their orthodontists a benefit any patient will appreciate. And, by quickly returning to a normal oral hygiene routine, maintaining healthy teeth and gums is easier.
The SureSmile Process
STEP 1:
Advanced Imaging
SureSmile creates a 3D computer model of your bite by using advanced imaging technology to scan your teeth. The 3D image can be captured with the OraScanner® or Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). The scanning procedure is the beginning of your SureSmile treatment.
STEP 2:
Prescriptive Planning
With the 3D model, Dr. Moon can now see your teeth from any angle and how they fit together. SureSmile Treatment Planning software provides virtual simulation tools that allow Dr. Moon to determine the final position of your teeth and the most effective plan for your unique treatment needs.
STEP 3:
Robotic Accuracy
Once Dr. Moon determines your treatment plan, SureSmile directs a robot to bend a shape memory alloy archwire according to your doctor’s prescription. This wire is designed to deliver gentle forces needed to move your teeth consistently and directly to their desired finishing position.
