Orthodontic Partners is pleased to offerSureSmile. While you're excited about having that great smile, you may be nervous about how long you'll be wearing wires and brackets. Well, this brochure is full of good news about a new orthodontic system that makes straightening your teeth with braces a lot faster and easier compared to conventional orthodontic treatment. It's called SureSmile, and it's changing the way people feel  about their braces.
What is Suresmile?
Central Florida Orthodontic Specialists is pleased to offer SureSmile. While you're excited about having that great smile, you may be nervous about how long you'll be wearing wires and brackets.
SureSmile is a start-to-finish process for braces that allows our orthodontists to apply 3-D diagnostic imaging and computer-aided treatment planning to your orthodontic treatment plan. This results in greater control and efficiency in orthodontic care and can shorten your time in orthodontic treatment up to 40%.
Why Suresmile?
Shorter Treatment Times
You've probably heard from friends or family members that wearing braces is a long-term commitment, taking two years on average. While that may be true of traditional orthodontic treatment, it's not true for SureSmile. Through the use of SureSmile's sophisticated 3-D imaging, computerized treatment planning, and customized shape memory alloy archwires, SureSmile can reduce treatment time.
Fewer Office Visits
In addition to shortening treatment times, the SureSmile system also helps reduce the number of wire changes and adjustments you'll need and that means fewer trips to the orthodontist. SureSmile's 3-D treatment planning software lets our orthodontists analyze how to effectively and efficiently align your teeth. Through this software, personalized archwires are designed to move your teeth into proper alignment smoothly and directly, reducing the number of office visits.
Less Overall Discomfort
Anyone who has worn braces will probably tell you that wire adjustments and changes were their least favorite part of the process because they usually cause discomfort. Fortunately, the SureSmile system is engineered to maximize therapeutic efficiency of each wire, significantly reducing the number of adjustments needed, which means fewer episodes of discomfort over the course of your treatment.
Using the SureSmile System in the Practice
With SureSmile, the doctor drives the prescription archwire design with 3-D diagnostic tools and computer aided treatment planning. At the beginning of treatment, 3-D images of the patient's teeth are captured from the initial model. OraMetrix's Digital Lab produces individual tooth models from these images that can be measured and manipulated by the doctor to formulate the treatment strategy. During treatment, an intraoral scan captures the patient's progress and bracket locations. The doctor uses this model to finalize a therapeutic setup where planned teeth positions can be compared to the current misalignment. Finally the doctor orders robotically-customized archwires to move the teeth directly as planned.
