Atlanta and Sandy Springs SureSmile Options.
The SureSmile orthodontic system offers lots of options for straightening your teeth here in Atlanta and Sandy Springs.
Suresmile is a unique treatment planning platform, and Atlanta Orthodontic Specialists has led the way for nearly
20 years – incorporating digital technology and customized appliances for each individual patient.
SureSmile Clear Aligners
SureSmile clear aligners are lab-created using medical-grade plastic that is totally transparent. The aligners are worn over the teeth similarly to the way you’d wear a retainer. Patients who opt for clear aligners to straighten their teeth always tell us they LOVE that no one can tell they’re wearing aligners and that they can eat whatever they want during treatment.
Traditional Metal Braces
The most popular type of braces today, traditional metal braces, are used to correct a wide variety of orthodontic issues such as overbites, underbites, crowded teeth, and jaw misalignment.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are the same as traditional metal braces, except the brackets are made with ceramic that matches the color of the patient’s teeth, so they’re less noticeable.
Hidden Braces
Hidden braces or lingual braces are placed behind your teeth instead of in front, hiding them from view.
Unbeatable Orthodontic Accuracy.
The SureSmile braces system delivers next-level precision when it comes to straightening smiles in Sandy Springs.
SureSmile’s accuracy begins with a virtual 3D model of the patient’s oral anatomy. Created using a small handheld scanner that is placed in the patient’s mouth, SureSmile’s scanner takes the place of old-school tooth molds.
Once the scan is complete, it is uploaded into the SureSmile software that creates the virtual 3D model. Your Orthodontist will use this 3D model to plan your orthodontic treatment. The SureSmile software generates a digital simulation of every tooth’s movement, so each tooth is repositioned along the most direct path, shortening the overall treatment time.
Bring in the robots!
Once your custom orthodontic plan is created, the SureSmile robots bend each arch-wire to perfectly fit your unique anatomy and treatment plan. The SureSmile robots bend each wire to within 1/10 mm accuracy!
Get your smile up to 40% faster!
SureSmile straightens teeth up to 40% faster than traditional braces. And with SureSmile, you won’t need to come in for adjustments as often because your arch-wires are shaped perfectly for you!
Frequently Asked Questions.
How is SureSmile Different From Regular Braces or Invisalign®?
SureSmile isn’t a type of brace like metal or ceramic braces. It’s a treatment planning delivery system that makes braces (and clear aligners) more precise and effective.
While traditional braces rely on the orthodontist’s hands and eyes to bend and adjust wires, SureSmile uses a digital 3D model of your mouth along with robotic wire-bending technology to engineer each archwire to within 1/10 mm accuracy. This ensures that your teeth shift along the direct, most efficient path to their targeted position, shortening treatment times by up to 40%.
As SureSmile in Atlanta can work with metal braces, ceramic braces, hidden braces, and clear aligners, you can get the benefits of the system regardless of what your specific treatment looks like.
Does SureSmile Cost More Than Traditional Braces?
SureSmile involves advanced technology like digital scanning, proprietary treatment planning software, and robotic wire fabrication, all of which factor into the cost of treatment. That said, most patients find the investment worthwhile for its efficiency. Fewer adjustment appointments and a shorter overall treatment time are real, tangible benefits.
At Atlanta Orthodontics Specialists, we’ve incorporated SureSmile technology into our practice for 20 years. Every member of our team has deep experience in optimizing treatment plans, and we’re happy to discuss the specifics of cost and financing options during your initial SureSmile consultation in Atlanta.
How Many Times Will I Need to Come in for Adjustments With SureSmile?
One of the biggest perks of SureSmile is a simpler adjustment schedule. The system’s technology engineers your archwires to match your precise treatment plan, preventing you from needing manual adjustments at each visit. For most patients, this translates into a meaningful quality-of-life improvement over the course of treatments that often span a year or longer.
The exact frequency of your visits will depend on your specific treatment plan. At your initial orthodontics consultation in Atlanta, our team will walk you through what to expect from the start so you can begin planning around that schedule.
Is SureSmile Technology Safe?
Yes, SureSmile is very safe, having been used in orthodontic practices across the country for over two decades. At our offices in the Atlanta Metropolitan area, Atlanta Orthodontic Specialists has been one of our longest-standing and most experienced users.
The scanning technology is non-invasive and radiation-free. It uses a small, handheld scanner that moves around the interior of your mouth and captures detailed 3D images, replacing the uncomfortable traditional molds that many older orthodontic practices still rely on. Following these scans, the robotic wire-bending process takes place in a lab, producing a more precisely shaped archwire than a human hand could create.
From the scanner to the software and materials, every component of the SureSmile system meets clinical and safety standards.
Can SureSmile Fix My Bite?
SureSmile is far from just a cosmetic orthodontic treatment. In addition to straightening crowded or misaligned teeth, SureSmile treatment plans can address a wide variety of bite issues, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. The system maps every tooth’s movement in precise 3D detail before treatment begins, allowing your Atlanta orthodontist to plan and track bite correction with a level of precision that traditional braces can’t match.
Whether you’re concerned about your smile’s appearance or the function of your bite (or both), SureSmile offers our team at Atlanta Orthodontic Specialists the tools to see and treat the entire picture.
How Do I Get Started With SureSmile in Atlanta?
Getting started with SureSmile in Atlanta is easy. Your first step is to book a consultation at one of our five locations: Buckhead, Virginia Highland, Howell Mill, Sandy Springs, or College Park. At that appointment, your orthodontist will evaluate your teeth, bite, and jaw, while inviting you to share any specific goals or concerns.
If SureSmile is a good fit, a digital scan with the SureSmile handheld scanner is the next step. This is a quick and comfortable process that allows our team to avoid using traditional dental molds. Once complete, your Atlanta orthodontist will build out your custom 3D treatment plan, and the SureSmile lab will engineer your appliances. Most of our patients end up being surprised at how quickly the process progresses once treatment begins.
With 20 years of SureSmile experience, Atlanta Orthodontic Specialists is one of the most practiced providers in Georgia.
