SureSmile Reno, NV - Dr. Corbridge, Dr. Lohse, Dr. Bruntz
Orthodontic Partners is pleased to offer
SureSmile. While you're excited about having that great smile, you may be nervous about how long you'll be wearing wires and brackets. Well, this brochure is full of good news about a new orthodontic system that makes straightening your teeth with braces a lot faster and easier compared to conventional orthodontic treatment. It's called SureSmile, and it's changing the way people feel about their braces.
What is SureSmile?
SureSmile is the first start-to-finish solution for fixed appliances that allows the orthodontist to apply 3-D diagnostic imaging and computer-aided treatment planning to unlock the power of shape memory allow archwires through robotic customization. This results in greater control and efficiency for orthodontic care and can shorten orthodontic treatment up to 40%.
Why SureSmile?
Shorter Treatment Times
You've probably heard from friends or family members that wearing braces is a long-term commitment, taking two years on average. While that maybe true of traditional orthodontic treatment, it's not true for SureSmile. Through the use of SureSmile's sophisticated 3-D imaging, computerized treatment planning, and customized shape memory allow archwires, the doctors at Orthodontic Partners can reduce treatment time over that of conventional braces.
Fewer Office Visits
In addition to shortening treatment times, the SureSmile system also helps reduce the number of wire changes and adjustments you'll need and that means fewer trips to the orthodontist. SureSmile's 3-D treatment planning software lets the doctors analyze how to effectively and efficiently align your teeth. Through this software, personalized archwires are designed to move your teeth into proper alignment smoothly and directly, reducing the number of office visits.
Less Overall Discomfort
Anyone who has worn braces will probably tell you that wire adjustments and changes were the least favorite part of the process because they usually cause discomfort. Fortunately, the SureSmile system is engineered to maximize therapeutic efficiency of each wire, significantly reducing the number of adjustments needed, which means fewer episodes of discomfort over the course of your treatment.
Using the SureSmile system in the Practice
With SureSmile, the doctor drives the prescription archwire design with 3-D diagnostic tools and computer aided treatment planning. At the beginning of treatment, 3-D images of the patient's teeth are captured from the initial model. OraMetrix's Digital Lab produces individual tooth models from these images that can be measured and manipulated by the doctor to formulate the treatment strategy. During treatment, an intraoral scan captures the patient's progress and bracket locations. The doctor uses this model to finalize a therapeutic setup where planned teeth positions can be compared to the current misalignment. Finally the doctor orders robotically-customized archwires to move the teeth directly as planned.
