We are proud to utilize the SureSmile® technology in our office. This state-of-the-art technology yields enhanced patient comfort, fewer trips to the office and shorter treatment times. Through 3-D imaging and customizing each patient’s archwires, the SureSmile system gives the doctor more control to precisely configure your treatment plan. The Shape Memory alloy wires used in the SureSmile design are more effective than the traditional archwires used in conventional braces, allowing for shorter treatment and less discomfort.
"In an October 2007 comparison of 1,849 patients treated conventionally to 4,376 patients treated with SureSmile, results show a reduction in treatment time of almost 40%. For example, treatments estimated to take two years with traditional orthodontics might take only 12 to 15 months using SureSmile wires. A number of factors can affect treatment time, and your actual length of treatment may vary" (sure smile website)
