For Dentists
The SureSmile approach builds on orthodontic advances to elevate the efficiency and
effectiveness of fixed appliance therapy.
Proven Results
Since its introduction to the public in late 2002, SureSmile has demonstrated dramatic
reductions in treatment time. More than 1,000 patients have now completed treatment.
To measure SureSmile’s impact, the last 20 cases finished before implementing SureSmile
in each practice are entered into a database. As the doctor completes SureSmile cases,
these are also entered and the results compared.
An analysis shows an average reduction of 38% in treatment time with a corresponding
decrease in wire changes and patient visits.
SureSmile’s Benefits to the General Dentist
The greatest benefit of SureSmile to general dentistry is shortened treatment times because,
once the braces are removed, proper dental hygiene is much easier for the patient.
Because SureSmile provides an electronic treatment record, SureSmile orthodontists can share
records with the dentist to collaborate on treatment plans and automatically notify interested
dentists each time a patient’s record is updated with new photos, x-rays or 3-D models.
Through the SureSmile website, the dentist can literally follow the patient’s treatment
as it is documented at orthodontic visits.
SureSmile’s Benefits to Patients
Patients will appreciate the improved communication about their care, and the increased comfort
and convenience associated with SureSmile treatment. With the inefficiencies of traditional
treatment removed, patients receive care that is faster – not because teeth move faster –
but because the SureSmile orthodontist’s custom prescription moves teeth more directly and
precisely into position.
