What to Expect from Clear Aligners

Invisible orthodontic systems like SureSmile® straighten your teeth by having you change out a pair of aligners every two weeks. This teeth-straightening approach limits the need to use permanently attached brackets and wires. We also map everything digitally in this process, so you have extra insight into where your teeth are going before you even change out the trays! 

As a certified clear aligners provider in Lubbock, TX, Dr. Morgan is able to supervise your SureSmile® experience without extra trips to an orthodontist’s office. He only needs to see you about once every other month to ensure everything is moving along correctly. With each visit, you’ll get your next several sets of trays to take home and continue your treatment. 

After you’ve completed your invisible braces system, we’ll help you with a customized retention plan to prevent any unwanted relapses.

Digital Accuracy. No Gooey Impressions.

We’re equipped with state-of-the-art technology to take our clear aligner treatments to the next level. With our iTero digital impression equipment, you don’t have to face gooey teeth impressions usually needed for aligner creation. We create an instant virtual scan by recording 3D measurements of your teeth with a small handheld wand.

These digital impressions are also great for patients with sensitive gag reflexes, and they ensure the highest level of accuracy for our invisible brace treatments in Lubbock, TX. 

When all your digital “models” are recorded, we transfer the virtual molds of your teeth directly to SureSmile® labs, where they are customized and sent back to our practice for you to collect.

Who Qualifies for SureSmile?

The ideal candidate for invisible aligners is someone with healthy teeth and gums (no active tooth decay or periodontal disease.) There are no age limits for this treatment, but it is designed with adults in mind. Responsible children and teens can, however, be suitable for it if they’re able to keep up with wearing their aligners as specified.

Although more severe cases of tooth misalignment are usually reserved for traditional braces, the digital mapping process of SureSmile® can give you a preview of what type of results you could expect if you decided to wear clear braces instead.

Keeping Up With Oral Hygiene During Your Treatment

Aside from being completely invisible, clear braces make it easier to keep your smile healthy throughout your treatment process. Simply remove your orthodontic trays and brush and floss twice daily as you would normally. The lack of bonded wires and brackets that accompany traditional braces means you avoid having to purchase extra cleaning aids or spend more time at the bathroom sink.

Why You Should Fix Your Smile

Crooked teeth aren’t just a cosmetic concern. They affect the functionality of your overall bite and muscular patterns. For instance, misaligned teeth can lead to a gradual strain of the jaws each time you eat, resulting in painful conditions like TMJ disorder. 

Although tooth enamel is the hardest substance in your entire body, your teeth need to fit together correctly in order to withstand continued use. If they hit end-to-end, it could cause premature tooth wear, resulting in flat or chipped teeth and broken dental work. 

Your Treatment Timeframe

As with any other type of braces, the length of time it takes to straighten teeth SureSmile will vary from one person to the next. During your consultation, we’ll discuss what goals you have for your teeth and the results you’re looking for. After evaluating your unique oral anatomy, Dr. Morgan will be able to give you a more accurate estimate as to how quickly your teeth can be straightened. 

The majority of our adult cosmetic orthodontic cases are usually completed in around 12 months. Short-term orthodontics that are limited to straightening the teeth in your “smile zone” may only take 4-6 months in total–both of which is shorter than traditional orthodontics!

Since it’s not possible to give you an estimated time frame over the phone, we invite you to schedule a no-pressure consultation with Dr. Morgan to get an individualized quote. There’s no requirement to commit to treatment; we simply want to provide you with the information that you need to make an informed decision about your care.
