4. The Step-by-Step Process www.burtonadvancedentalmi.com
5. Step 1: Your Initial Consultation 01 Everything starts with a consultation at the dental office. During this visit, your dentist evaluates your teeth, bite, and smile goals. Some patients want subtle cosmetic improvements, while others may need more detailed alignment correction. This conversation helps determine whether SureSmile clear aligners are the right solution for your needs. Consultation Checklist ✓ Teeth evaluation ✓ Bite assessment ✓ Smile goals ✓ Treatment suitability Continued on next slide → www.burtonadvancedentalmi.com
6. Digital Scanning Instead of Messy Impressions One of the best parts? Most modern practices use digital scans rather than traditional impression moulds. A small scanning device captures a 3D image of your teeth within minutes. It's faster, cleaner, and far more comfortable. Faster Cleaner More Comfortable www.burtonadvancedentalmi.com
7. Step 2: Creating Your Customised Treatment Plan 02 Once your digital scans are complete, specialized software maps out the movement of your teeth from start to finish. This stage is fascinating because patients can often preview their future smile before treatment even begins. Your personalized treatment plan includes: Number of aligners needed Estimated treatment time Predicted tooth movement Progress milestones Depending on the complexity of your case, treatment may last anywhere from several months to over a year. www.burtonadvancedentalmi.com
8. Step 3: Receiving Your SureSmile Aligners 03 After your aligners are fabricated, you'll receive your first set. Each tray is designed to fit snugly over your teeth. At first, they may feel slightly tight, but that's normal. The pressure means the aligners are actively moving your teeth. Patients are usually instructed to wear aligners: 20–22 hours per day Removing them only for meals and drinks Taking them out for brushing and flossing 20–22 hours per day Consistency matters. Wearing aligners less than recommended can delay results. www.burtonadvancedentalmi.com
9. Step 4: Gradual Tooth Movement 04 Here's where the real transformation begins. Every 1–2 weeks, you'll switch to a new set of aligners. Each tray applies gentle pressure to shift teeth gradually. The movement is controlled and highly precise. You may notice: Mild pressure when switching trays Slight soreness for a day or two Gradual alignment improvements over time This process is far more comfortable than many people expect. www.burtonadvancedentalmi.com
10. What Makes SureSmile Different? www.burtonadvancedentalmi.com
11. What Makes SureSmile Different? SureSmile technology focuses heavily on precision planning and advanced digital accuracy. That often means more predictable tooth movement and efficient treatment progression. For busy adults or image-conscious teens, this can make a major difference in the overall experience. Precision Planning Advanced software maps every tooth movement from start to finish for predictable results. Advanced Digital Accuracy Digital imaging and 3D planning ensure efficient treatment progression with fewer surprises. www.burtonadvancedentalmi.com
12. Step 5: Regular Progress Checkups 05 Although you won't need the constant tightening appointments that traditional braces require, periodic dental visits are still important. Your dentist monitors: Tooth movement progress Aligner fit Oral health condition Treatment accuracy Shorter & Less Frequent Sometimes minor adjustments are needed to keep treatment on track. These visits are usually shorter and less frequent compared to traditional orthodontic appointments. www.burtonadvancedentalmi.com
13. Step 6: Completing Treatment and Wearing Retainers 06 Once your teeth reach their final position, treatment isn't completely over yet. Retainers help maintain your new smile and prevent teeth from shifting back. Most dentists recommend wearing retainers: Full-time initially Then nightly long-term Skipping retainers can undo months of progress, so this step is extremely important. www.burtonadvancedentalmi.com
