About
SureSmile is an orthodontic treatment service powered by digital technology and backed by Dentsply Sirona, the world's largest diversified manufacturer of professional dental products. It provides a comprehensive range of teeth-straightening solutions—including clear removable aligners, advanced digitally-designed braces with robotically bent wires, and retainers—suitable for both simple and complex dental cases. The treatment process begins with a personalized consultation where a doctor assesses oral health goals, takes photos, and performs a digital scan.

Once ready, patients pick up their aligners or braces directly from their doctor, who provides ongoing support throughout the journey. SureSmile is designed for comfort and convenience, with clear aligners that fit seamlessly into daily routines. Costs vary by case and doctor, and the platform supports flexible payment options, including insurance, HSA, and FSA plans. It's well-suited for patients seeking a tech-enhanced, doctor-supervised orthodontic experience.
