What Is SureSmile®?
SureSmile® is a clear aligner system that uses a series of custom-fabricated, virtually invisible trays to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Unlike traditional braces, SureSmile® aligners are removable — meaning you take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Each set of aligners is worn for a prescribed period before advancing to the next set in your sequence, progressively moving your teeth according to your personalized treatment plan.
SureSmile® treatment plans are developed by real dental experts at the SureSmile® Digital Lab, who partner directly with Dr. Collura to understand your unique smile goals and design a roadmap to achieve them. This collaborative approach ensures that your results are not only predictable but also aligned with your individual expectations from day one.
Why Choose SureSmile® at Turners Falls Dental?
There are several clear aligner brands on the market, but SureSmile® offers key advantages that set it apart:
- Expert-designed treatment plans: Your plan is reviewed by trained clinical specialists at the SureSmile® Digital Lab — not generated by software alone
- Predictable results: The treatment timeline and final outcome are planned with precision so you know what to expect and when
- VPro™ High Frequency Vibration Device: Dr. Collura may provide you with the SureSmile® VPro™ device — used for just 5 minutes a day — which can improve aligner fit and comfort during treatment
- Lasting retention: SureSmile® Retainers are available after treatment to maintain your new smile long-term
- Optional whitening: The SureSmile™ Whitening Kit allows you to enhance the brightness of your smile while completing your orthodontic treatment
- Ongoing monitoring: Dr. Collura monitors your progress at regular check-ins throughout treatment to ensure everything is tracking as planned
What Can SureSmile® Treat?
SureSmile® clear aligners at Turners Falls Dental are effective for treating a variety of common orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Mild to moderate overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Open bite
- Teeth that have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment
For patients with more complex bite issues, Dr. Collura will advise whether SureSmile® is the right fit or whether a referral to an orthodontic specialist is more appropriate.
SureSmile® and Your Overall Dental Health
Straighter teeth aren’t just cosmetic — proper alignment makes it easier to brush and floss effectively, reducing the risk of gum disease and cavities. A well-aligned bite also reduces uneven wear on tooth surfaces and stress on the jaw joints. Completing your SureSmile® treatment alongside your regular dental exams and cleanings at Turners Falls Dental ensures your teeth stay healthy throughout the process and beyond.
Turners Falls Dental welcomes patients from Turners Falls, MA, Greenfield, Deerfield, and across Franklin County who are considering clear aligner treatment. Call (413) 774-6553 to schedule your SureSmile® consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions About SureSmile® Clear Aligners
How is SureSmile® different from Invisalign®?
Both SureSmile® and Invisalign® are clear aligner systems, but SureSmile® treatment plans are developed collaboratively between your dentist and clinical specialists at the SureSmile® Digital Lab — providing an additional layer of expert oversight. SureSmile® also offers unique accessories like the VPro™ vibration device for improved comfort and fit. Dr. Collura will discuss which system is best suited for your specific case at your consultation at Turners Falls Dental.
How long does SureSmile® treatment take?
Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of your case and how consistently you wear your aligners. Most patients complete treatment in 6–18 months. Dr. Collura and the SureSmile® Digital Lab will provide you with a projected timeline during your consultation so you know what to expect from the start.
How many hours a day do I need to wear SureSmile® aligners?
For optimal results, SureSmile® aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day. They are only removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. The more consistently you wear them, the more predictable your results will be.
Does SureSmile® hurt?
Most patients experience mild pressure or soreness for the first day or two after switching to a new set of aligners. This is a normal sign that the aligners are working to move your teeth. The discomfort is typically minor and fades quickly. The SureSmile® VPro™ device may also help reduce discomfort by improving aligner seating.
Can I eat and drink normally with SureSmile®?
Yes — one of the key advantages of SureSmile® clear aligners is that they are fully removable. Simply remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water, and rinse or brush before putting them back in. There are no food restrictions with SureSmile® the way there are with traditional braces.
What happens after SureSmile® treatment is finished?
After completing your aligner series, Dr. Collura will provide you with SureSmile® Retainers to maintain your results and prevent teeth from shifting back. Wearing retainers as directed is essential for preserving your investment. The SureSmile™ Whitening Kit is also available to brighten your smile once treatment is complete.
