SureSmile Technology
1. SureSmile Technology
SureSmile is a type of customized orthodontic arch wires used by orthodontists to straighten teeth. The technique utilises 3-D imaging, treatment planning software and a robot to create the wires. The orthodontists uses digital images of a patient’s mouth and teeth using either a white light scanner or cone beam computed tomography(CBCT). With the help of software tools the orthodontist takes the teeth and individually aligns them into the proper position. Once the orthodontist has virtually designed the smile and bite, SureSmile software plans the most efficient and direct route for moving teeth into the proper place and sends this information to a robot that bends and shapes the wires specifically for that patient. The wire with all of the custom bends is then sent back to the orthodontist ready to place on the patient. This procedure gives a more precise result and reduces treatment time by 30-50%.
Orthodontics / Braces for Children
2. Orthodontics / Braces for Children
Orthodontics or Orthodontia or Dentofacial Orthopaedics, is a special field in dentistry that deals primarily with malpositioned teeth and the jaws: their diagnosis, prevention and correction. Studies have shown that both children and their parents believe that orthodontics will help improve the child’s self-image, oral function and social life by correcting common dental problems such as crowded teeth and overbite in an early age.
Clear Aligners
3. Clear Aligners
Clear Aligners are a series of custom made plastic aligners created based on the digital models made from the impression or a scan from the teeth. It’s an alternative to traditional braces. Clear aligners are designed to help guide teeth into their proper position. Similar to braces, clear aligners use a gradual force to control tooth movement, but without metal wires or brackets.
Advantages of Clear Aligners
- Clear aligners are removable so it is easier for you to brush and floss after meals
- Clear aligners are easier to keep clean
- Clear aligners are comfortable and less likely to irritate your gums and cheeks
- Clear aligners can prevent tooth wear from grinding
