Sure Smile is a new technology straightens teeth faster and better than before, unlike with conventional technique have to manually bend wires, which can lead to small amounts of under- or over-correction and extend treatment time. Average treatment time for braces is between 20 and 24 months. It uses computer and robotic manipulation of the archwire to increase accuracy in planning to speed up treatment times. It uses Shap Memory Alloy also known as smart alloy that remembers its target position and permanently retains its customized prescription using body heat. SureSmile average length of treatment is less 40% time than conventional techniques. Treatments estimated to take two years with traditional orthodontics may take only 12 to 15 months using SureSmile. It uses digital imaging with OraScanner to create 3-D model of the exact tooth position. A software is used in the computer to allow the orthodontist to manipulate the digital model of your teeth. Robotic hands bend the archwire to shorten treatment time.
