Correct Your Teeth With SureSmile Aligners

To straighten your teeth without unsightly metal, we offer you convenient SureSmile aligners to correct misaligned teeth, bite problems or gaps in your smile.

SureSmile aligners are a modern orthodontic treatment solution that uses clear aligners to correct the alignment of your teeth. SureSmile aligners are custom-created using advanced computer technology. Each set of aligners is specifically designed to make precise, calibrated changes to the alignment of your teeth.

The aligners are easily removable, so you can remove them to eat, floss and brush your teeth. This makes it simple to maintain good oral hygiene while straightening your teeth.

Corrective Treatments for Grinding Teeth

Bruxism is a condition where a patient grinds, gnashes and/or clenches their teeth. It is typically an unconscious behavior, and can occur both while awake and sleeping.

Common symptoms of bruxism include worn tooth structure and flattening of the teeth, increased tooth sensitivity, jaw soreness, tenderness of the facial muscles and dull headaches. The grinding may be loud enough that it can be heard by others, especially if it occurs when you are asleep. Bruxism is commonly associated with airway disturbances, like sleep apnea and gastric reflux.

The constant force of opposing teeth rubbing and grinding against each other causes the hard enamel outer layer of the teeth to wear away, exposing the softer inner dentin layer, making the teeth weaker, more sensitive and could even become prone to decay. In addition, once the softer dentin is exposed, the pace of the wear will accelerate dramatically. Bruxism can also potentially lead to cracks or fractures in your teeth.

Excessive tooth wear causes many oral health complications, including unattractive and irregular tooth levels, uncoordinated chewing movements, jagged and sharp tooth edges, tooth pain and eventual loss of the teeth altogether.

There are preventative and corrective treatment options for patients showing signs of bruxism. Treatment will vary based on the underlying cause, the severity of behavior and the extent of tooth damage, making it critical to work closely with your doctor to proactively treat the issue before more damage occurs.
