CLAIM YOUR PROFILEIn our office the SureSmile process is to obtain a three-dimensional scan of the patient’s teeth. This can be done with either a very accurate 3D x-ray machine (we have an iCAT) or an optical scanner called the OraScanner. This digital “impression” is then electronically forwarded to the technicians at SureSmile.
Once the digital lab at SureSmile determines that the scan information is accurate, they pass it along to the modeling team. These technicians convert the scan data into a digital model that has separate, movable teeth. The Orthodontist then work on the prescription for the final position of each tooth either by moving the teeth himself with a mouse or through very detailed instructions to the digital lab.
We do however take impressions for retainers, but the GAG reflex is very common among patients and we work with you to ensure comfort.

My daughter needed braces and I had always wanted to get Sure Smile to fix my teeth as well.
