What is SureSmile?
SureSmile is an orthodontic treatment that utilises the same proven approach of brackets and metal archwires, applying pressure to align teeth over time. However, rather than manually bending wires to move teeth into position one by one, SureSmile uses 3-D imaging and robotic technology to create custom wires that help the braces reposition teeth more quickly and effectively.

Our SureSmile treatment process
Consultation
Book an appointment for an initial SureSmile consultation with Dr. Kosy. If you’re a candidate for these clear aligners, we will provide you with a quotation and treatment timeline estimate.
We will also take photographs, X-rays and a 3D digital impression of your teeth to develop a precise model of your smile without any bite moulds!
Design
Dr. Kosy will design your aligners with SureSmile Treatment Planning Software to ensure they fit comfortably and function effectively. Dr. Kosy will evaluate your treatment options, visualise the best end result and then map the path of the movement of your teeth.
This personalised plan moves the teeth in a direct path to their target position without the need for multiple adjustments. The SureSmile Treatment Planning Software also allows Dr. Kosy to digitally evaluate the progress of the movement of your teeth throughout treatment.
Alignment
You will be instructed to wear each set of SureSmile aligners for approximately one to two weeks before switching to the next.
We ask that you visit our office every four to six weeks during this treatment period so that we can make sure your teeth are aligning as planned and make any necessary adjustments to achieve the perfect smile.
Frequently asked questions
How do the robotically-created wires make my orthodontic treatment more precise?
Using traditional methods, your orthodontist was required to bend archwires by hand. Instead, technology uses robotic hands to bend archwires to the unique prescription that Dr. Kosy creates using the 3D technology provided by SureSmile. It provides Dr. Kosy with enhanced control and precision of your tooth movement.
How does the itero scanner work?
The iTero Scanner is a handheld device that works like a 3-D digital camera. The device takes pictures of your teeth using a unique feature of confocal scanning, which allows the iTero Scanner to capture powder-free digital impressions. The images taken then create a 3-D model of your mouth during the scanning process.
Is my orthodontist still in control of my treatment?
Dr. Kosy is in complete control of your treatment when using SureSmile technology. In fact, this advanced technology provides your orthodontist with even greater control during your orthodontic treatment.
Is SureSmile treatment less painful than traditional orthodontic treatment?
When you experience any pain during orthodontic treatment, it is due to the changes in pressure that are caused by adjusting your archwires. Patients who undergo SureSmile treatment do not experience as much pain because the wires are more gentle than stainless steel wires and fewer adjustments are needed.
Will my teeth be damaged because they are moving faster?
SureSmile archwires do not move your teeth any faster than traditional stainless steel archwires would. The reason this treatment is faster is because the robotically-produced archwires made can offer many bends and the same amount of movement that would take several archwire adjustments using traditional orthodontic methods.
How long does treatment take?
As a general estimate, SureSmile tends to take approximately 12 to 15 months for every two years of traditional braces. However, this timeframe depends on the unique circumstances of each patient, including the condition of your teeth, your smile goals and your commitment to following the treatment as instructed.
How do I clean SureSmile aligners?
To clean your SureSmile aligners, please use a clear antibacterial soap and a soft-bristled toothbrush. This should be done once a day at the minimum.
Dr. Kosy can explain this process to you in detail during your consultation. If you have any queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask.
How much does SureSmile cost?
The cost of this option varies according to the degree of treatment required. Every patient is different, and so is their treatment plan. Dr. Kosy will discuss the cost of your recommended treatment plan and payment options during your first consultation.
