In plain English

What are SureSmile clear aligners?

SureSmile is a clear aligner system. Your teeth are scanned, the movement is planned digitally, and a series of clear, removable trays is made. Each set moves the teeth a small amount towards the planned position.

Because the trays are clear and removable, most people do not notice them, and you take them out to eat and brush.

Who they suit

Are clear aligners right for you?

Often suitable

Mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and teeth that have drifted after earlier treatment.

Sometimes suitable

Some bite problems, depending on the assessment.

Usually not suitable

Complex bites and major jaw problems, which need an orthodontist.

Dr Belal Aly selects aligner cases one by one. If aligners are not right for your bite, you are told so and referred.

Step by step

  4. Wearing the alignersEach set is worn most of the day and night, with regular reviews.
  5. RetainersRetainers hold the result once straightening is finished.

Before veneers

Why straighten teeth before veneers?

Veneers placed over crooked teeth usually mean removing more healthy tooth to make them look straight. Straightening first can mean fewer veneers, thinner veneers, or none at all, so it is considered first wherever the bite suits it. Veneers at Berala Dental →

What is SureSmile?

SureSmile is a clear aligner system: a series of removable, clear plastic trays, planned digitally, each moving the teeth a small amount towards the planned position.

Are clear aligners right for everyone?

No. Aligners suit many adults with crowding or spacing, but some bites need fixed braces. Dr Belal Aly selects aligner cases one by one, and patients who need braces are referred to an orthodontist.

How long do aligners need to be worn each day?

Aligners only work while they are in, so they are worn most of the day and night and taken out to eat, drink anything but water, and brush. The wear time for your treatment is set out in your plan.

Do I need a retainer after aligners?

Yes. Teeth tend to drift back after straightening. A removable retainer is $350 at Berala Dental, and a fixed retainer is $450 for the upper teeth and $450 for the lower.

Can aligners be used before veneers?

Often, yes. Straightening first can mean fewer or thinner veneers, or none at all, which is why Berala Dental considers straightening before veneers wherever the bite suits it.

Does Berala Dental provide braces?

No. Berala Dental does not provide traditional braces. Patients who need them are referred to an orthodontist.
