HOW DOES INVISALIGN WORK?
Your journey with Invisalign treatment begins with a visit to your orthodontist. After a thorough examination, your doctor will determine if you are an ideal candidate for Invisalign treatment.
Once you get approved your orthodontist will create custom made Invisalign clear aligners suited to your needs. You also receive instructions on how to put the aligners on and remove them easily. Your orthodontist will also determine a specific time frame to change your Invisalign clear aligners which typically is every two weeks.
Generally, Invisalign treatment lasts six months to a year depending on the individual patient. If you are getting married or have another important reason that you need your treatment done at a quicker pace you can discuss it directly with your orthodontist to see if the treatment process can be completed faster.
BENEFITS OF INVISALIGN
Improved self-esteem
Minimal food restrictions
Less painful compared to standard braces
Invisibility
Maintaining control of your treatment process
Easy to wear when playing sports
Being under the supervision of a professional
HOW DOES SURESMILE WORK?
SureSmile teeth straightening treatment works very similar to Invisalign. The process begins with a digital impression of your teeth and the treatment planning begins.
Your doctor will analyze your bite and other anatomical factors to determine your customized treatment plan by using Innovative software.
The clear aligners will be custom-made and fit to produce the best results. Your doctor will give you specific instructions on how to use the aligners, when to change them, and how to keep them clean.
BENEFITS OF SURESMILE
Boosts self-confidence
Ability to eat any type of food
Invisible clear aligners
Comfortable to wear during sporting events
Being under the supervision of a professional throughout the entire treatment
Maintaining control of your treatment process
INVISALIGN VS SURESMILE
Clear aligner treatments provide similar benefits that produce high-quality results. They both are comfortable to wear, virtually invisible and easy to live with on a daily basis.
The clear aligners go unnoticed which allows you the freedom to conduct your life as normal. As your teeth straightening treatment continues you will notice your teeth gradually move into place and create a straighter smile.
During the treatment process, most patients are excited to see the results as their self-confidence gradually gets boosted along the way.
Once treatment is completed your orthodontist will supply you with a retainer to help maintain your beautiful new smile.
As mentioned earlier, living with clear aligners is easier compared to standard metal braces. If you are looking for a way to straighten your teeth without everyone around you noticing then clear aligner teeth straightening treatment is the way to go!

Teledentistry will prove to be one of the most effective means of maintaining dental care and communicating with patients virtually through video conferencing and file sharing during the COVID-19.
Patients who had contact with other people who have traveled to China, Italy, Iran, and other at-risk countries, should be assessed virtually through telemedicine and treated through teledentistry.
