The appearance of your smile is often a direct reflection of your oral health. Is your smile sending the message that you are healthy or is it filled with crooked teeth or gaps? At Titus Dentistry, we want patients in the Middletown, IN area to benefit from having a straight smile which is why we offer SureSmile Aligners. SureSmile is an orthodontic system that uses clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly and effectively.
The importance of straight teeth
In addition to looking better when you smile, there are many other reasons it’s important to have straight teeth. Teeth that are in proper alignment are easier to brush and clean, which reduces the risk of developing cavities, particularly between the teeth where food particles can easily become trapped. Because the teeth are easier to clean, this often results in an improvement of oral hygiene. Additionally, fixing the bite can also reduce the risk of uneven wear on the teeth which can lead to temporomandibular joint disorder.
How SureSmile Works?
The SureSmile Process involves several steps:
- First, digital images are taken to create a 3-D model of your teeth so that the bite can be analyzed from several angles.
- Then, this model is sent to the SureSmile treatment planning software to map out the movement of each tooth.
- Next, we finalize the details of your customized treatment plan.
- Finally, we send this information to the lab for custom fabrication of your SureSmile clear aligners.

Frequently asked questions about SureSmile Clear Aligner Orthodontics
How does SureSmile work?
SureSmile uses advanced 3D imaging technology along with artificial intelligence algorithms to create a virtual model of your teeth and jaw. This model is then used to design a series of custom clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the right position in the dental arch.
What are the benefits of using SureSmile?
There are several benefits to using SureSmile over traditional metal braces. The main advantage is the nearly invisible appearance of the clear aligners, making them practically unnoticeable when worn. They are also removable, allowing you to eat and drink without any restrictions and making it easier to maintain proper oral hygiene. SureSmile treatment typically requires fewer office visits and can be completed in a shorter time than traditional braces.
Is SureSmile suitable for everyone?
SureSmile is suitable for most people who need orthodontic treatment. However, it may not be the best option for patients with severe or complex orthodontic issues. You can consult an experienced orthodontist or Dr. Jonathan Titus of Titus Dentistry to determine if SureSmile is the right treatment.
How long does SureSmile treatment take?
The duration of SureSmile treatment varies based on each patient’s particular requirements and objectives. On average, treatment time can range from six months to two years. Your provider at Titus Dentistry will create a personalized treatment plan that outlines the approximate timeline for your specific case.
Do I need to wear a retainer after completing the SureSmile treatment?
Like traditional braces, you must wear a retainer after completing the SureSmile treatment. This helps to keep the new position of your teeth and prevent them from actually shifting back to their original placement. Your provider at Titus Dentistry provides specific instructions on how often and for how long you should wear your retainer.
What happens if I lose or damage one of my aligners?
If you lose or damage one of your aligners, contact our team at Titus Dentistry immediately. They may have backup aligners that they can provide until your replacement arrives. It is important not to skip any steps in the treatment process, so follow your orthodontist’s instructions on how to proceed. In some cases, creating a new aligner and extending the treatment time may be necessary. Overall, it is important to communicate any issues or concerns with your orthodontist throughout the treatment process for the best results.
