SureSmile® Advanced Orthodontic Technology

Getting braces is an exciting step toward a healthier smile, but it’s normal to have questions about comfort, treatment time, and results. At Advanced Orthodontics Mercer Island, Dr. Todd Steinhart offers SureSmile®, a modern digital orthodontic system designed to make treatment more precise, efficient, and comfortable than traditional braces.

SureSmile enhances the orthodontic experience by combining advanced digital imaging, 3D treatment planning, and robotically customized archwires to guide your teeth into their ideal positions with exceptional accuracy.

What Is SureSmile?

SureSmile is an advanced orthodontic system that uses digital technology to plan and deliver highly precise tooth movement. Unlike traditional braces, which rely on standard wires and manual adjustments, SureSmile creates a fully customized treatment plan from the start.

With this system, your orthodontist can visualize your final results early in the process and design a more efficient path to get there, reducing the need for trial-and-error adjustments.

How Does SureSmile Work?

Your treatment begins with a digital scan that creates a highly detailed 3D model of your teeth and bite. Using this model, your orthodontist maps out the ideal position of each tooth with remarkable precision.

Once your plan is finalized, custom archwires are created using robotic technology. These wires are shaped to follow your exact treatment plan, allowing your teeth to move more directly and efficiently into alignment.

Because these wires are activated at mouth temperature, they provide a smoother, more controlled movement that is both effective and comfortable.

What Are the Benefits of SureSmile?

SureSmile offers several advantages compared to traditional braces. By combining digital planning with customized wires, treatment becomes more streamlined and predictable.

Patients may experience shorter treatment times, fewer in-office visits, improved comfort throughout the process, and highly precise final results. This technology allows for a more efficient approach to achieving a balanced, well-aligned smile.

Can SureSmile Reduce Treatment Time?

Yes. One of the biggest advantages of SureSmile is its ability to improve efficiency. By planning tooth movement in advance and using customized archwires, treatment can often be completed faster than with conventional braces.

While every case is different, SureSmile has been shown to reduce treatment time significantly compared to traditional methods.

Will I Need Fewer Office Visits?

In many cases, yes. Because SureSmile wires are designed to move teeth more precisely, fewer adjustments are typically needed during treatment.

This means fewer appointments and a more convenient experience for patients with busy schedules.

Is SureSmile More Comfortable?

Many patients find SureSmile to be more comfortable than traditional braces. Since the wires are designed to apply consistent, controlled forces, there are often fewer adjustments and less overall discomfort throughout treatment.
