Get straight teeth with SureSmile in Dunstable

SureSmile uses clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly and comfortably in Dunstable.

Unlike conventional braces, SureSmile has no fixed wires or metal brackets. Instead, teeth straightening is accomplished using a series of clear, plastic aligners.

SureSmile clear aligners sit over the top of your teeth, and you remove them to brush your teeth as well as to eat and drink.

Patients from Houghton Regis, Sewell, Dunstable, Totternhoe and throughout Bedfordshire are choosing SureSmile to straighten teeth because they are so discreet.

What is the process for SureSmile in Dunstable?

Consultation

At your first consultation we will assess your teeth, gums and your bite. We will take x-rays of your mouth and scans of your teeth and discuss what you’d like to change about your teeth.

We will talk through the process for teeth straightening with SureSmile. The images taken of your teeth will be used to create your bespoke SureSmile aligners.

Create your bespoke SureSmile aligners

It will take a couple of weeks to create your SureSmile aligners. Once these are ready, we will invite you back to the dental practice in Dunstable to fit them and show you how to wear them.

Wear your SureSmile aligners

We recommend wearing your SureSmile aligners for at least 20 – 22 hours a day. Your dentist will show you how to remove your aligners so that you can clean them.

You wear your SureSmile aligners every day for the allocated time – usually one week before moving on to the next set of aligners in the series. You continue in this way until you have reached the final set of aligners in the series, and you can show off your stunning new smile.

You will also receive a SureSmile VPro which you should use daily for five minutes. This small device is inserted into your mouth and delivers gentle vibrations which help to ensure that your aligners are fitting snugly against your teeth.

How should I clean my SureSmile aligners?

Your dentist will give you more details about this, but you should take the aligners out of your mouth and gently use your toothbrush and toothpaste to scrub the aligners before rinsing them with warm water.

Do I have to watch what I eat whilst wearing SureSmile aligners?

Unlike traditional metal braces, you can eat whatever you like whilst having your teeth straightened with SureSmile. This is because you remove your braces before eating and drinking. Enjoy your favourite foods and then re-insert your aligners after your meal.

The Dentist is great friendly and helpful and a great service.
What is negative is having to do that patient bridge form.

Had my first appointment at the practice today and my daughter’s first dentist appointment ever. What an incredible experience! The 2 lovely ladies made the whole thing so special for my daughter. They were kind, warm and on top form with the humour! She’s asked if we can go back again tomorrow! And fixed several months worth of tooth sensitivity for me in minutes. Looking forward to going back for whitening treatment.
