Straightening the smile is easy with the help of a dentist in London, Ontario. Unfortunately, not all dentists can help and may require a referral to an orthodontist.
At Hyde Park Dentistry, we are pleased to offer orthodontic treatment options such as SureSmile aligners, which are easy to use, allow for more comfortable treatment, and do not cover the natural smile with metal brackets and wires.
Below are some of the more common questions Drs. Ashish Papneja and Marjan Moaveni have answered regarding using SureSmile aligners to address misalignment and malocclusion.
SureSmile aligners are easy to take in and out of the smile. They cover the teeth with a tight fit to gradually reposition them in the dental arch. We recommend taking SureSmile aligners out when eating, drinking, brushing the teeth, or flossing. They must be put back in and worn for at least 20 hours daily for the best results.
This depends on several factors, including the severity of the misalignment and patient compliance. Patients must be mindful of complying with their SureSmile treatment to get the results in the desired timeframe.
Not following directions will often lead to delays in treatments and sometimes additional costs if new trays need to be fabricated. Most of our patients, on average, are able to attain their final results within approximately one year with proper compliance. More time may be required for more severe cases.
Are you ready to straighten your smile? Are you unhappy with gaps and turned teeth? Are you seeking a solution for your smile that doesn’t require traditional braces?
