How to Prep for a SureSmile Treatment

If you plan to get SureSmile clear aligners, you’re likely eager to start wearing them. After all, these trays can straighten your smile in as little as eight months! Still, you’ll first want to prepare yourself for the treatment process. Doing so will make your smile-aligning journey much less complicated. Fortunately, your local Shelton dentist has some helpful advice for you. With that said, here are four great tips on preparing for a SureSmile treatment.

Organize Your Budget

Paying for SureSmile upfront is a wonderful thing. However, you may need to finance the treatment through a third party. In that case, you’ll need to arrange your budget beforehand.

You see, it’s best if your SureSmile payments are made without problems. The last thing you want is for your procedure to cause financial stress. Therefore, organize your budget so the cost of care is fully covered. The task shouldn’t be hard, as SureSmile is pretty affordable compared to other aligner systems.

Adjust Your Oral Habits

As you wear SureSmile aligners, you’ll need to change some of your daily habits. That being the case, start making those changes now. This approach makes the transition to your future trays easier.

For example, brush your teeth after every meal. The practice will keep food and bacteria from getting trapped in your aligners. By brushing more now, you’ll be ready when you’re amidst your SureSmile treatment. You won’t struggle as much to remember your after-meal brushing.

Buy Relevant Supplies

True, a dentist will provide basic supplies for your SureSmile treatment. Even so, some things you ought to buy on your own. Go ahead and get these before the procedure fully begins.

Several items make the shift to SureSmile smoother. One is an OrthoKey aligner removal tool, which helps remove the trays for meals and teeth-cleaning. Others, meanwhile, are aligner “chewies” – small plastic cylinders you bite to conform trays to teeth.

Talk to Your Dentist

Lastly, it’s a good idea to talk to your dentist before starting SureSmile. You’d greatly benefit from their suggestions and other resources.

Remember, qualified dentists are experts on SureSmile. They know the treatment’s various ins and outs. As such, you can ask them for tray-related details you’re unsure of. They’ll happily provide the necessary answers and ensure your procedure goes well.

As you can see, preparing for a SureSmile treatment pays off. Use the tips above, then, to achieve a straight smile comfortably!
