Welcome to Irving Park Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in Greensboro, NC, where we are committed to providing exceptional dental care tailored to your needs.

SureSmile offers a discreet, comfortable, and effective way to achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of, making it a popular choice for both teens and adults.
What are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners, such as SureSmile, represent a revolutionary approach to orthodontic treatment. These aligners are crafted from clear, flexible plastic and are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without the noticeable appearance of metal brackets and wires. This makes them an ideal choice for individuals seeking a more subtle way to enhance their smile. The aligners work by applying gentle, controlled forces to move your teeth into their desired positions over time, offering a modern and aesthetically pleasing alternative to conventional orthodontic methods.
What Can Clear Aligners Treat?
Clear aligners are versatile and can address a wide range of orthodontic issues. Whether you have crooked or misaligned teeth, gaps between your teeth, or more complex bite issues such as overbites, underbites, crossbites, or open bites, clear aligners can provide an effective solution. They are designed to handle both simple and complex cases, making them a flexible option for many patients. By choosing clear aligners, you can achieve a beautifully aligned smile while enjoying the convenience and comfort that these modern orthodontic devices offer.
What to Expect During Treatment
When you choose SureSmile at Irving Park Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, you can look forward to a personalized and comfortable treatment experience. Here’s what you can expect:
- Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we assess your dental needs and determine if SureSmile is the right choice for you. This is an opportunity to discuss your goals and ask any questions you may have.
- Custom Treatment Plan: Using advanced digital technology, we create a detailed treatment plan that maps out the movement of your teeth. You’ll even get to see a digital preview of your new smile, giving you a clear vision of the results you can expect.
- Receiving Your Aligners: You’ll receive a series of aligners, each to be worn for about 1-2 weeks. These aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours a day, only removing them for eating, brushing, and flossing. This ensures that your treatment progresses as planned.
- Regular Check-Ups: Every 6-8 weeks, you’ll visit our office to monitor your progress and receive your next set of aligners. These appointments are crucial for ensuring that your treatment stays on track and any necessary adjustments are made.
- Completion and Retention: Once your treatment is complete, you’ll receive a retainer to help maintain your new smile. This final step is essential for preserving the results of your treatment and ensuring your teeth remain beautifully aligned.
Benefits of Clear Aligners
Choosing SureSmile offers numerous benefits that make it an attractive option for orthodontic treatment:
- Discreet Appearance: The clear design makes them nearly invisible, allowing you to smile confidently throughout your treatment without feeling self-conscious.
- Comfortable Fit: Made from smooth plastic, they are more comfortable than traditional braces, with no metal wires or brackets to irritate your mouth. This means you can enjoy a more pleasant treatment experience.
- Removable Convenience: You can easily remove the aligners for meals and oral hygiene, allowing you to eat your favorite foods and maintain good dental hygiene. This flexibility is a significant advantage over traditional braces.
- Predictable Results: The digital planning process ensures precise and predictable tooth movement, often resulting in faster treatment times compared to traditional methods. This means you can achieve your desired results more efficiently.
