Clear Aligners for Straighter Teeth in Caldwell, ID

Straightening teeth once meant uncomfortable metal brackets and wires that irritated lips and gums and required frequent orthodontist visits. Today’s clear aligners offer a modern, discreet, comfortable alternative that straightens teeth with minimal hassle.

SureSmile Aligners at Clock Tower Family & Cosmetic Dentistry can address mild to moderate crowding, underbite, overbite, crossbite, overlapping, and gaps—discreetly, so no one knows you’re wearing them.

How do Clear Aligners Work?

Metal braces use brackets, wires, and elastics to reposition teeth, while aligners apply targeted pressure to move teeth in increments of 0.25 to 0.3 millimeters every few weeks. Over months, your teeth shift into their desired positions.

Clear Aligners Treatment Process with SureSmile®

Step #1: Consultation

We will discuss your oral health and aesthetic goals and determine whether SureSmile clear braces can help you achieve them. If we decide to move forward with clear aligners, we take digital images of your teeth and gums.

Step #2: Preview the Results

We will prepare a 3D visualization of what your teeth may look like after straightening using advanced computer software and the digital images we captured at your consultation. You will love seeing what your smile could look like in just a few months with SureSmile!

Step #3: Treatment Plan

We develop a customized treatment plan based on your needs, aesthetic goals, and dental anatomy. We send this to the SureSmile lab, where they will custom-design a series of clear aligner trays to fit your teeth snugly for comfort and security as they gradually straighten.

Step #4: Treatment Begins

When your clear aligners arrive at our office, you will return so that we can check the fit and smooth any rough edges. We’ll go over your treatment and aligner care instructions, and you can begin wearing your SureSmile aligners immediately. About every two weeks, you will switch to a new set of aligners as explained in your treatment plan.

Step #5: Periodic Check-ins

You’ll check in with our office periodically (usually every few months) so we can check your progress and make sure everything is going as planned.

Advantages of Clear Aligners over Traditional Braces

Why do our patients love SureSmile® clear aligners? Because they offer so many advantages over metal braces:

• Discreet: Clear aligners are almost invisible because they are made from clear plastic, making them discreet for work and social situations.
• Removable: You can remove your aligners to eat and drink. You can eat any foods you like without worrying about damaging your aligners, and you don’t have to worry about staining them.
• Easy-care: You remove your clear braces to brush and floss your teeth, so you don’t have to clean around brackets and wires. And it’s easy to clean your aligner with a soft brush and liquid soap.
• Better oral hygiene: With easy cleaning, you’re less likely to have plaque buildup, gingivitis, or gum irritation.
• Comfort: Smooth SureSmile aligners do not bother the skin or gums like metal braces.
• Fewer dental appointments: Rather than visiting every two weeks, just switch aligner sets at home, reducing office visits.
• Quicker results: In many cases, patients achieve their desired results faster than with traditional braces.
