We Believe In Smiling For Pictures
Straighten your teeth discreetly with SureSmile clear aligners. No metal brackets, no wires, just a comfortable, removable solution that fits your lifestyle.
At Arizona Avenue Dentistry, we offer SureSmile clear aligners as a modern alternative to traditional braces for teens and adults in Yuma, Somerton, San Luis and surrounding communities. Whether you're addressing crowding, gaps or bite issues, SureSmile provides predictable results without disrupting your daily life.
Dr. Shannon Grady and our caring team will guide you through every step of your smile transformation, from your initial consultation to the day you reveal your beautifully aligned smile.
SureSmile is an advanced clear aligner system that uses cutting-edge 3D imaging and computer modeling to straighten your teeth gradually. Unlike traditional metal braces, SureSmile aligners are virtually invisible, comfortable and removable.
You'll receive a series of custom-made clear plastic aligners designed specifically for your teeth. Each aligner applies gentle pressure to shift your teeth into their ideal positions. You'll switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks, progressively moving closer to your perfect smile.
The entire treatment is planned digitally before you even begin, so you'll know exactly what to expect and how long your treatment will take.
Wondering how SureSmile compares to other orthodontic options? Here's what sets clear aligners apart:
SureSmile offers similar technology and results, often at a more accessible price point.
SureSmile clear aligners offer advantages that traditional braces simply can't match:
Made from clear BPA-free plastic, SureSmile aligners are nearly undetectable. Most people won't even notice you're wearing them. Perfect for adults who want to straighten their teeth without the appearance of traditional braces.
Pop your aligners out to eat, brush and floss normally. No food restrictions, no struggling to clean around brackets and wires. Just remove your aligners, enjoy your meal, brush your teeth and put them back in.
No metal brackets poking your cheeks or wires irritating your gums. SureSmile aligners are smooth and custom-fitted to your teeth. You may feel mild pressure when starting a new aligner set, but this is gentle and temporary.
Unlike traditional braces that require monthly tightening appointments, SureSmile typically requires check-ins every 6-8 weeks. We'll monitor your progress and provide you with several sets of aligners at once, saving you time.
Your journey to a straighter smile follows a clear, predictable path:
Dr. Grady examines your teeth and discusses your smile goals. We'll determine if SureSmile is right for you and answer all your questions about the process, timeline and cost.
Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we create a precise digital model of your teeth. No messy impression trays required. This scan is used to design your custom treatment plan.
We'll show you a 3D simulation of how your teeth will move throughout treatment and what your final result will look like. You'll see your future smile before you even start!
Your custom aligners are fabricated and delivered to our office. We'll show you how to wear and care for them. You'll wear each set for 1-2 weeks before switching to the next.
You'll visit our office every 6-8 weeks so Dr. Grady can check your progress and make sure your treatment is proceeding as planned. We'll provide you with multiple sets of aligners at each visit.
Average Treatment Time: Most patients complete SureSmile treatment in 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of their case. Simpler corrections may take as little as 3-6 months.
SureSmile clear aligners are effective for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues:
SureSmile is ideal for mild to moderate orthodontic issues. Severe misalignment or complex bite problems may require traditional braces or other orthodontic intervention. During your consultation, Dr. Grady will assess your specific case and recommend the best treatment option.
SureSmile clear aligners work beautifully for both teens and adults who want to straighten their teeth without the appearance and inconvenience of traditional braces.
Many adults avoided braces when they were younger or experienced shifting after previous orthodontic treatment. SureSmile offers a discreet, professional-looking option that fits seamlessly into your work and social life.
You may be a good candidate if:
Teenagers can benefit from SureSmile just as much as adults. Clear aligners allow teens to straighten their teeth without feeling self-conscious about metal braces during important social years.
Considerations for teen patients:
Dr. Grady will evaluate whether your teen is a good candidate based on their dental development and maturity level.
Treatment time varies based on the complexity of your case and how consistently you wear your aligners. Most patients achieve their desired results within 6 to 18 months.
The key to staying on track is wearing your aligners for 22 hours per day. Removing them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing your teeth delivers predictable, timely results.
The cost of SureSmile clear aligners is often comparable to traditional braces, and in many cases, more affordable than you might expect. Pricing depends on the complexity of your case and the length of treatment needed.
At Arizona Avenue Dentistry, we believe cost shouldn't prevent you from achieving the smile you deserve. We offer flexible payment plans to make SureSmile accessible for your budget.
During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed cost estimate and discuss all payment options so you can make an informed decision.
Keeping your aligners clean and in good condition gives you the best results and a comfortable experience:
