Sure Smile System Offers Reduced Treatment Time To Orthodontic Patients

Dr. David Mireles is giving patients something new to smile about – the introduction of the SureSmile orthodontic system to his practice. This revolutionary new system, developed by OraMetrix, Inc., reduces the treatment time and number of discomfort episodes for patients needing braces.



SureSmile is state-of-the-art computerized treatmentplanning and appliances customization system that offers significant advantages over previously available orthodontic systems. Unlike conventional orthodontics, which relies on plaster models and 2-D imaging, SureSmile gives the orthodontist a detailed 3-D computer model of the  patient’s teeth that can precisely plot individual tooth movement through the entire course of treatment – from start to finish. Additionally, using high-tech wires customized through a robotic process, the orthodontist can move each tooth to the target  position more directly and in less time than with conventional methods. As a result, patients experience fewer wire changes and adjustments and in-office maintenance visits, while still achieving superior results. SureSmile technology is a perfect option for busy teens and adults who do not have time for frequent office visits or lengthy procedures, says Dr. Mireles. “With this system, my patients can now obtain the smiles they desire with less overall discomfort and shorter treatment time than before. SureSmile is the future of orthodontic care.”



According to the American Association of Orthodontists(AAO), more than five million people in the U.S. and Canada are presently receiving orthodontic treatment, with one in five patients over the age of 18. The AAO also estimates that nearly 75 percent of the population could benefit from orthodontic care to correct common, often inherited problems, such as crowding, spacing, and bad bite and now recommends that all children receive orthodontic screening no later than age 7 to identify and evaluate potential problems and determine the best time to begin treatment.
