SureSmile Aligners in Ajax, ON
SureSmile clear aligners straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably, no metal braces, no food restrictions, and treatment fully managed at Dr. Patel Dentistry.
Understanding SureSmile Aligners
SureSmile is a clear aligner system that straightens teeth using a series of custom fitted, removable trays. Each aligner is worn for approximately two weeks before progressing to the next in the series, gradually shifting teeth to their optimal position.
Unlike metal braces, SureSmile aligners are virtually invisible, removable for eating and oral hygiene, and comfortable against the cheeks and lips. Treatment is digitally planned from the start, allowing patients to preview their expected results before beginning.
Benefits of SureSmile Aligners
- Virtually invisible for discreet orthodontic treatment
- Removable for eating and normal oral hygiene
- No brackets or wires to irritate soft tissue
- Smooth, comfortable plastic trays
- Digital planning allows preview of final results
- Treatment typically completed in 6 to 18 months
Looking After Your Aligners
Aligners spend 20 to 22 hours a day in your mouth, so keeping them clean is part of keeping your teeth clean. None of it is difficult, but a couple of habits make a real difference to how they look and how well they fit.
- Rinse every time you take them out, before debris has a chance to dry on
- Brush them gently with lukewarm water and a soft brush
- Never use hot water, which warps the plastic and ruins the fit
- Brush your teeth before reinserting so nothing is trapped against the enamel
- Store them in their case rather than a napkin, which is how most aligners get thrown away
- Drink water while wearing them, but take them out for anything else
Cost of SureSmile Aligners

Common Questions
SureSmile Aligners FAQ
Am I a candidate for SureSmile aligners?
Most patients with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite issues are good candidates. A consultation with digital scanning confirms whether SureSmile is the right fit for your specific case.
How many hours a day must I wear the aligners?
Aligners should be worn approximately 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush and floss.
How does SureSmile compare to Invisalign?
Both are clear aligner systems that work in a similar way, using a series of custom trays to gradually move teeth. The right choice often comes down to what is available through your provider and your specific treatment needs, which can be discussed during your consultation.
How do I clean my aligners?
Rinse aligners each time you remove them and brush them gently with lukewarm water and a soft brush. Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic, and store them in their case when not in use.
How much do SureSmile aligners cost?
Cost depends on the complexity and length of your treatment plan, so we do not list set pricing here. Contact our office for a personalized quote.
