How long does treatment with SureSmile® clear aligners take?

The duration of SureSmile clear aligner treatment varies for each patient, but typically ranges from six to 18 months depending on the complexity of your orthodontic needs and your compliance with wearing the aligners as prescribed.

Treatment time is influenced by several factors, including the severity of misalignment, the specific movements needed to achieve your desired results, and most importantly, how consistently you wear your aligners. For optimal results, it's recommended to wear your SureSmile aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking hot beverages, and cleaning your teeth.

The advanced 3-D planning technology used by SureSmile allows your dentist to create a customized treatment plan that efficiently moves your teeth into their desired positions. During your initial consultation, your dentist will evaluate your specific case and provide a more accurate estimate of your expected treatment duration based on your individual needs and goals. Some patients may see noticeable improvements within the first few months of treatment, though complete results will take longer to achieve.
