Get Perfectly Aligned Teeth Without a Mouth Full of Metal

Do you have a tooth imperfection that makes you less self-confident than you want? Modern dentistry allows you to straighten your teeth without the discomfort of metal braces. 

Our board-certified cosmetic and general dentists with Tropical Dental use the SureSmile method to give you beautiful rows of teeth. 

Scan teeth and create clear aligners

We no longer need to use messy molds to create an impression of your teeth. In the past, you had to stick your teeth in a metal mold filled with a bad-tasting, gunky substance. Now, we use an advanced intraoral scanning method to create an exact digital impression of your teeth. We move a wand around your teeth inside your mouth for a few minutes. It’s painless and noninvasive. 

Next, we send the 3D scan to SureSmile’s digital lab. The lab creates your clear aligners. 

You see the final outcome at the beginning of the process 

SureSmile includes a software program that your doctor uses to show you how your teeth will look at the end of your treatment. This way, there are no surprises. 

Dental appointments monitor your progress 

Your dentist creates a treatment plan just for you based on the lab's work. At your first appointment, we show you how to place the aligners in your mouth and ensure they are comfortable and don’t hurt your gums. 

Your dentist makes any needed adjustments. They may use interproximal reduction, a simple, painless procedure to allow more room between teeth to align them. Your dentist may also need to place an attachment on the surface of a tooth or teeth, which helps control their movement during your treatment. Don’t worry; the attachments are the same color as your tooth enamel. 

We tell you how frequently you must change aligners during your treatment. We’ll set future appointments to monitor your progress as your treatment continues.  

Why we use SureSmile aligners 

Several types of clear aligners are on the market today. We chose SureSmile because it can lessen the time you need to wear the aligners and can correct significant problems. Our aligners provide stronger force than other aligners when combined with attachments, which means that your teeth move into the correct place faster. 

Clear aligners alone can correct minor dental problems. SureSmile is a step in between aligners alone and having metal braces. It’s a great option because we can use this system instead of metal braces to correct your overbite, crossbite, open bite, crooked teeth, and more. SureSmile enables us to correct more significant malocclusion problems than using only aligners.
