Having an underbite or crooked teeth is enough to make you avoid smiling. But what if you could change the way your jaw and teeth look without having to wear braces? Our orthodontist in Bethesda and Laurel, MD, at Heller Orthodontics offers SureSmile Advanced Aligners as an alternative for patients with mild or moderate orthodontic problems. Here’s more about how it works and what to expect!

How Does It Work?

SureSmile clear aligners gently move your teeth into straighter positions or realign your jaw to correct bite or spacing issues.

What Happens First?

We meet for a consultation to make sure this option is right for you. If so, we take digital scans of your teeth to create your aligners.

How Long Do You Have to Wear Your Aligners Each Day?

When you choose SureSmile in Laurel and Bethesda, MD, you’ll need to wear your aligners for 22 hours a day.

When Can You Take Them Out?

You can remove your SureSmile aligners when it’s time to eat or when you brush your teeth. You can also remove them when you need to clean them.

How Long Does SureSmile Treatment Last?

It can last for several months or more, depending on what we’re correcting. During treatment, you’ll switch to new SureSmile aligners every few weeks or so.

What Happens After Aligner Treatment?

You’ll wear a retainer once you’re done with your SureSmile aligners. Your retainer maintains your results.
