Category Spotlight: SureSmile Aligners

With its advanced software tools and seamless digital integration, SureSmile has become a trusted full-service aligner solution for many dentists. These high-performance, laser cut aligners are durable, comfortable, and virtually invisible—making them a great option for patients as well.

Customizable Treatment

Dr. Sara Mahmood, who uses SureSmile in her Dallas/Fort Worth based practices, loves seeing how this aligner system can transform a patient’s smile, as well as the improvement made at each appointment. She also loves how affordable SureSmile is.

“As a business owner and associate, lab fees are a huge factor,” she said. “For us, SureSmile is significantly more cost-effective than competitors, and it has only 2 payment structures, making it easy to streamline our systems across multiple practices and 25plus team members.”

Dentsply Sirona acquired OraMetrix, a digital orthodontics company, in 2018, with the SureSmile Digital Lab pulling from the company’s 3 decades of orthodontic expertise. The lab can accept scans from all digital impression systems and goes through a 7step quality assurance process.

Studies show that 75% of completed SureSmile aligner cases required no more than 1 refi nement.* Refinements “should not be the norm,” echoed Dr. Mahmood, and “reducing them means fewer chairside adjustments, improved patient satisfaction, and greater efficiency for the practice.”

That said, when refinements are necessary, Dentsply Sirona has your back.

“SureSmile offers 3 years of unlimited aligners and refinements if needed, with no processing or shipping fees,” Dr. Mahmood said. “While I do charge for refinements after the first round, knowing the lab supports you is reassuring.”

A Predictable, Affordable Solution

Another feature that sets SureSmile apart from other systems is its customizable trimline, which allows clinicians to change the trimline type and height for each stage of aligner treatment.

Overall, SureSmile is a great addition to any practice, whether you’re new to clear aligners or ready to try a different system.

“In my experience, we have found SureSmile to be more predictable and affordable,” Dr. Mahmood said, “and it integrates seamlessly into our workflow.”
