Do You Want to Straighten Your Smile?
We get it - a less-than-perfect smile can sometimes hold you back. But what if you could straighten your teeth comfortably and discreetly? With SureSmile clear aligners, you can achieve the smile of your dreams without disrupting your life. Davis & Miller General Dentistry can help you attain the straighter smile with the revolutionary technology of our clear aligners in Columbia.
Understanding How Clear Aligners Work
Clear aligners represent a revolutionary leap in orthodontic treatment. They are transparent, custom-fitted devices made from medical-grade thermoplastic materials, designed to fit snugly over your teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to undergo orthodontic treatment discreetly. Imagine straightening your teeth without anyone even noticing! The aligners work by applying consistent pressure to shift teeth into their desired position gradually.
What is The SureSmile System?
The SureSmile system is a pioneering approach to orthodontics that combines precision, technology, and patient comfort. Unlike other clear aligner systems, SureSmile employs advanced 3D imaging and treatment planning software to create aligners with unparalleled accuracy. This attention to detail ensures that every movement of your teeth is optimized, which usually results in a reduced treatment time. SureSmile's robust system also allows us to predict the movement of your teeth with precision, so that each step of your orthodontic journey is calculated, purposeful, and leads to the desired outcome.

The Process of Straightening Your Smile
Consultation
The process begins with a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Davis or Dr. Miller will assess your teeth's current alignment and discuss your goals.
Impressions
With SureSmile®, the creation, structuring, placement, and analysis of your braces are worked out completely before the doctor situates any of your appliances. This is made possible by computer technology that allows a 3-D image of your mouth, teeth, and jawbone to be captured digitally, allowing both you and the doctor to see the initial structures and possible alterations that can be made.
Fabrication of Clear Aligners
Your custom SureSmile aligners are then crafted to guide your teeth through each stage of alignment.
Treatment Begins
You'll be instructed to wear each set for a specific period, typically two weeks, before moving on to the next set. Periodic check-ups at Davis & Miller General Dentistry ensure that the treatment is on track and allow for any necessary adjustments.
Retention
Once you have achieved your smile goals, we will provide you with a retainer to wear while you sleep to ensure you retain your new straight smile.
