SureSmile: Subtly Straighten Your Smile with Custom Aligners

Crooked, crowded, or rotated teeth can not only make you self-conscious. Misalignment can also increase the risk of cavities and affect your bite, causing additional oral health issues. 

SureSmile® is a trusted brand of clear aligners designed to straighten your smile. At Iroquois Dentistry, each SureSmile treatment plan is customized to fit your needs, goals, and budget. 

Why are so many patients at our Nashville, TN, dental practice choosing SureSmile?

SureSmile aligners are made of incredibly thin, stain-resistant polyurethane, so most people won't even notice you're undergoing treatment. Because they are much more subtle than braces, you will not face discomfort over the appearance of large brackets and wires.

Aligners are much more comfortable than braces because they cause gradual movement and exert less force on your teeth over time. The trays also have an incredibly smooth surface, so they will not irritate or snag the inside of your lips or cheeks like brackets and wires do.

Many patients are worried about the length of treatment, but SureSmile usually takes about three to five months to straighten both the top and bottom teeth. Simple cases may take as little as a month to a month and a half, while complex cases could last up to two years.

We strive to keep your treatment costs low. Because we work with a local lab or create our clear trays in-house, SureSmile is very reasonably priced. We also accept most insurance plans and CareCredit® to help our patients afford these advanced invisible braces.

By straightening your teeth, orthodontics can redistribute the force of your bite. In turn, this can reduce your risk for issues such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. Straighter teeth are also easier to clean and maintain, lowering your risk of dental decay.

Your newly straightened teeth can enhance your whole appearance, making you look younger and healthier. If a crooked smile previously made you feel self-conscious in your work, social, or dating life, aligners can help you feel your best in all aspects of your personal life.

Are You a SureSmile Candidate?

At our Nashville, TN, practice, we can use SureSmile to address anything from slight misalignment to a more crooked bite. You may be an excellent SureSmile candidate if you suffer from issues such as:

Small gaps between your teeth

Rotated teeth

Tipped teeth

Overlapping teeth

Overbite

Underbite

Open bite

Crossbite

This innovative treatment is generally more appropriate for minor to moderate issues. If you have severely misaligned teeth, we will typically refer you to an orthodontist for traditional braces.

What to Expect from Start to Finish

Initial Consultation

1

Our dentists will examine your smile and take digital x-rays to determine whether your case is eligible for SureSmile. If you have severely misaligned teeth, we may refer you to a specialist. Otherwise, we will provide you with an estimate of your costs and timeline.

Digital Impressions

2

When you decide on SureSmile, we will take impressions of your teeth. The process takes minutes and produces more accurate measurements than traditional methods. For patients with a sensitive gag relax, digital impressions are also much more comfortable than putty.

Design Aligners

3

Your dentist can then digitally adjust the images to precisely design and customize your aligners. When the designs are finished, we will send them to a local lab. There, trusted technicians will fabricate the trays out of clear, smooth plastic according to your exact specifications.

Begin Treatment

4

The aligners will each have a slightly different shape, working towards your ideal dental alignment, so they will continually exert mild pressure on your dental arches. In this way, they will gradually shift your teeth over time as long as you remain compliant.

Swap Aligners

5

Once you receive your trays, you should wear each one for about two weeks. While you can remove aligners to eat and brush your teeth, you should wear them for at least 22 hours a day. You will visit us for regular checkups during treatment so that we can monitor your progress.

Maintain Your Results

6

When you are finished treating your smile with the custom clear aligners, you will need to wear a top or bottom retainer, or both, in order to maintain your results. At our Nashville, TN, dental office, this appliance is included in the cost of SureSmile your treatment.

How Much Do Aligners Cost?

Because we are able to fabricate clear aligners with our local partner labs or even in-house at Iroquois Dentistry, we are able to provide treatment at a much lower cost to our patients. 

SureSmile treatment at our Nashville, TN, office can cost anywhere from $1,400 to $4,500. The final cost of your plan will depend on several factors: 

Depending on your needs and preferences, our dentists can treat just your top arch, just your bottom arch, or both rows of teeth. Every treatment is customized to fit your individual needs, goals, and budget.

More comprehensive cases will require more aligners, which typically increases the total cost. During your consultation, our team will give you an accurate estimate of your timeline to ensure you have realistic expectations about pricing.

Paying for Your Treatment

At Iroquois Dentistry, we have several options available to make dental treatment affordable and simple for virtually every patient. We accept:

Dental Insurance

We can work with your insurance provider to maximize any available coverage for your clear aligners.

CareCredit Financing

CareCredit is a trusted third-party lender that offers flexible repayment plans for qualifying dental patients.

In-House Plans

We also offer low-interest and interest-free payment plans at our Nashville, TN, dental practice.

5-Star Reviews from Our Patients That Make Us Smile

"THEY CARE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY LIKE YOU ARE PART OF THEIRS."

Everyone in this office is great! Over the years, I have seen all the dentists at least once. Dr. Parkes has been wonderful handling a couple of emergency situations and seeing me through the process of an implant. Mary always does a great job cleaning my teeth and the ladies at the front desk are always friendly and helpful.

I went in today for a replacement crown and was very pleased with my experience. With the new technology, I had amazing care with only a little discomfort (no pain). I appreciate the time and effort to make this process what use to be no fun into what I had today - nice!!! Thank you!
