The System Behind the Smile

What Are SureSmile Clear Aligners?

SureSmile is a clear aligner system developed by Dentsply Sirona, a global leader in dental technology with more than 20 years of experience in digital orthodontic planning. Instead of brackets and wires, SureSmile uses a sequence of clear, removable trays made from a high-performance plastic that's smooth, comfortable, and nearly invisible.

Each set is worn for about one to two weeks, applying gentle, controlled pressure that shifts your teeth step by step. Because your entire treatment is digitally planned in advance, you'll see a 3D preview of your expected results before your first aligner is ever made.

Is It Right for You?

Are You a Candidate for SureSmile?

You're likely a great candidate if you:

  • Are a teen or adult with all your permanent teeth
  • Have mild to moderate crowding, gaps, or bite misalignment
  • Have healthy teeth and gums — we'll treat any issues first
  • Can commit to wearing aligners 20–22 hours a day

More complex bite issues may need a different approach — we'll assess your smile honestly at your consultation, and you'll see a digital preview of what's possible before committing to anything.

Your Timeline

How Long Does SureSmile Treatment Take?

Most SureSmile patients complete treatment in 6 to 18 months. Minor corrections can finish in as little as 3–6 months, while more involved cases take longer. Your timeline depends on the complexity of your alignment or bite issues, how consistently you wear your aligners, and how your teeth respond to movement.

Because SureSmile treatment is digitally pre-planned from your very first scan, we can give you a realistic timeline estimate at your first visit — not a guess.

How Is SureSmile Different from Mail-Order Aligners?

Mail-order aligner systems skip the face-to-face examination altogether — nobody checks your bite, your gums, or whether aligners are even the right treatment before you start. If something goes wrong, it often went wrong before the first tray ever shipped.

With SureSmile at Pacific Signature Dental, every step happens under your dentist's supervision — from the initial exam and 3D scan to progress checks and your final retainer. Your aligners are prescribed, monitored, and adjusted by a dentist who knows your mouth, protecting both your results and your oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do SureSmile aligners hurt?
You may feel mild pressure for a day or two when starting each new tray — that's a sign the aligners are working. Most patients find SureSmile far more comfortable than traditional braces, with no wires or brackets to irritate your mouth.
How many hours a day do I wear SureSmile aligners?
20–22 hours per day. Remove them only for eating, drinking anything besides water, and brushing. Consistent wear is the single biggest factor in staying on schedule.
How much do SureSmile aligners cost in Vancouver?
SureSmile treatment typically ranges from $3,500 to $6,500 CAD depending on the complexity and length of your case — generally making it a more budget-friendly option than Invisalign. Your exact investment is confirmed after your consultation, with no surprises.
Is SureSmile covered by dental insurance?
If your plan includes orthodontic coverage, it usually applies to clear aligners the same way it would to braces. Our team will help you check your benefits and maximize your coverage.
What's the difference between SureSmile and Invisalign?
Both straighten teeth with clear, removable aligners and require 20–22 hours of daily wear. SureSmile typically costs less, and its treatment plans are built in Dentsply Sirona's digital lab with over 20 years of orthodontic data — the manufacturer reports that 3 of 4 cases finish without refinements. At your consultation we'll tell you honestly which system suits your smile best.
Can I eat and drink while wearing my aligners?
Remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining, damage, and unnecessary wear — and means no food restrictions during treatment.
Can teenagers get SureSmile?
Yes — SureSmile works well for teens and adults whose permanent teeth have come in, provided they can commit to consistent daily wear.
Will I need to wear a retainer after treatment?
Yes. A custom retainer (typically worn nightly) keeps your teeth in their new position and prevents them from shifting over time. Retainer guidance is part of every SureSmile treatment plan.
