Our office, led by Dr. Enrique Darancou, distinguishes itself from other dental practices in El Paso, Texas, and beyond by truly embracing the latest techniques and technologies that modern dentistry has to offer. Dr. Darancou carefully selects new treatments and alternatives to conventional procedures based on their clinical effectiveness and safety. So, El Paso Modern Dentistry patients can rest assured that they benefit from the best therapies available today to restore the beauty, health, and function of their cosmetically imperfect or damaged smiles.
SureSmile® is transforming how patients straighten their teeth! Clear aligner therapy, SureSmile®, and other systems are alternatives to braces. Conventional orthodontic treatment with braces involves brackets and wires fixed to the teeth. These wires can only be removed and adjusted by dentists and orthodontists. The wires must be tightened to support tooth movement for straightening to move forward. Patients must also learn to adjust to life with braces, which includes using special products and techniques to keep the brackets, wires, and elastics in good working order. Basic functions, from brushing and flossing to eating and speaking, must also be “re-learned.”
SureSmile® instead uses a series of lightweight and transparent removable aligners to gently and discreetly reposition the teeth. When worn as directed, SureSmile® is an effective alternative. Adjusting to the process is a breeze because the aligners may be removed before eating, brushing, and flossing.
Clear aligners have been around in some form or fashion since the 1990s. As with all things, the aligner technology has only gotten better with time. SureSmile® presents an innovative alternative that sets the standard for orthodontic treatment in the clear aligner category. The makers of SureSmile®, Dentsply Sirona, use sophisticated materials and software to create aligners that are truly customized to the one-of-a-kind characteristics and needs of your smile. When the aligners are perfectly invisible when you smile and precisely conform to the contours of your teeth and tissues, they promote maximum comfort and a pleasant experience. Additionally, these elements significantly enhance the treatment process, ensuring it is effective and swift. They can correct a range of dental issues, from slight crowding and gaps to more complex conditions, such as severe overbites or underbites, as well as other alignment problems that occur when the mouth is closed.
SureSmile® is designed as marketed. Special treatment planning features and advanced materials mean that all others see as you straighten your teeth is an increasingly beautiful smile, not orthodontic hardware. Plus, the adjustment period is seamless because there is nothing to adjust to; the aligners conform perfectly, and we have special technologies to ensure the best fit and ultimate comfort. Of course, Dr. Darancou and our team also work closely with you at every step in the treatment process.
We advise on things you can do to ensure treatment stays on track. Notably, it is essential only to remove the aligners when eating or when your teeth need to be brushed, and the aligner itself needs to be cleaned. Even after correcting your gaps and overlaps, we work with you to prevent relapse – or teeth from shifting back into their pretreatment positions. El Paso Modern Dentistry can also advise on complementary SureSmile® products, such as its proprietary whitening kit. Now that you have a more balanced smile let’s boost the color of your teeth, too!
We look forward to discussing this exciting approach to transforming the health and appearance of your smile today. Call our team in El Paso, TX, at (915) 221-7001.
