    Treatment Procedures for SureSmile

    SureSmile treatment procedures involve a sophisticated digital approach to orthodontic care, combining advanced imaging technology with precision-engineered aligners. At London Dental Specialists, our treatment process begins with creating your custom aligners based on the detailed digital impressions taken during your initial consultation.

    Your personalised treatment plan will be implemented through a series of clear aligners, each specifically designed to gradually move your teeth into their optimal position. You'll need to wear each set of aligners for approximately 1-2 weeks, removing them only for eating, drinking hot beverages, and cleaning your teeth.

    • Wear Time: 20-22 hours per day
    • Aligner Changes: Every 1-2 weeks as prescribed
    • Progress Checks: Regular monitoring appointments

    During your treatment journey, we'll schedule periodic check-ups to monitor your progress and provide you with your next sets of aligners. These appointments allow us to ensure your teeth are moving as planned and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

    Treatment Stage What to Expect
    Initial Wear Adjustment period of 2-3 days with each new set
    Regular Use Comfortable, clear aligners that fit precisely to your teeth
    Progress Monitoring Regular check-ups to ensure optimal results

    Our advanced SureSmile technology allows us to track your progress with precision, ensuring your treatment stays on course. The aligners are custom-fabricated using state-of-the-art robotics and CAD/CAM technology, delivering exceptional accuracy in tooth movement planning and execution.

    Post Treatment Care for SureSmile

    Post-treatment care is crucial for maintaining your SureSmile results. Our comprehensive aftercare programme ensures your newly aligned teeth remain in their optimal position for years to come.

    Following your SureSmile treatment, you'll receive detailed instructions on wearing and maintaining your retainers. Retainers are essential for preventing teeth from shifting back to their original position. Initially, you'll need to wear them full-time, gradually transitioning to nighttime wear only.

    Our post-treatment care includes:

    • Regular check-up appointments to monitor your teeth alignment
    • Professional guidance on retainer wear schedule
    • Instructions for proper retainer cleaning and maintenance
    • 24/7 support for any concerns or questions

    To maintain your SureSmile results, we recommend:

    • Wearing your retainers as prescribed
    • Maintaining excellent oral hygiene
    • Storing retainers in their protective case when not in use
    • Avoiding hot water when cleaning retainers
    • Contacting us immediately if your retainer feels loose or damaged

    London Dental Specialists provides ongoing support throughout your retention phase. Should you experience any concerns or require assistance, our specialist team is readily available to help. We offer a 10-year warranty on our dental implants and endodontic treatments, demonstrating our commitment to long-term dental care excellence.

    Remember, successful long-term results depend on following your personalised retention plan. Our team will guide you through each step of the retention phase to ensure your new smile remains beautiful for years to come.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Our SureSmile in London, UK

    Considering SureSmile? We understand you may have questions. Our team of dental specialists, including a Periodontist, Endodontist and Orthodontist along with our team of Dental Therapists and Nurses are here to guide you through the process.
    What is the difference between SureSmile Flex and Force aligners?

    SureSmile Flex and Force aligners are two distinct types of clear aligners that differ primarily in their material composition and treatment applications. Flex aligners are made from a thinner, more flexible material ideal for mild to moderate orthodontic cases, whilst Force aligners use a more rigid construction designed for complex tooth movements and severe misalignment.

    The key distinction lies in their intended use: Flex aligners are particularly suited for patients requiring subtle adjustments and those who prioritise comfort, while Force aligners provide more robust tooth movement capabilities for cases involving significant rotation or vertical movements.

    • Flex Aligners:
      • Thinner material (0.75mm)
      • More comfortable for daily wear
      • Ideal for minor crowding and spacing issues
      • Typically worn for 20-22 hours daily
    • Force Aligners:
      • Thicker material (0.85mm)
      • Enhanced durability
      • Better suited for complex movements
      • Recommended for more severe misalignment cases

    At London Dental Specialists, our orthodontic team will assess your specific needs during your consultation to determine which aligner type would be most appropriate for your treatment goals.
