What Is Orthodontic Relapse?
Orthodontic relapse happens when teeth gradually shift back to their original positions after orthodontic treatment. This can occur for several reasons, including not wearing retainers as directed, natural aging, or changes in jaw structure.
The good news is that relapsed cases can often be corrected quickly with clear aligner systems like SureSmile.
Why SureSmile is Ideal for Cases of Orthodontic Relapse
Advanced Digital Planning for Precise Results
SureSmile utilizes 3D scanning technology to create a detailed digital model of your teeth. This model allows your dentist or orthodontist to develop a custom treatment plan tailored to your specific relapse. The result? Accurate aligner movements are designed to get your teeth back into proper alignment efficiently.
Shorter Treatment Times
Since SureSmile is often used to correct minor relapses, SureSmile treatment time is typically shorter than traditional braces or other clear aligner options. Many patients see noticeable results in just a few months, depending on the severity of their relapse.
Discreet and Comfortable
SureSmile aligners are clear, making them virtually invisible during wear. They’re also crafted with smooth, BPA-free plastic for maximum comfort—no metal wires or brackets to irritate your mouth.
Enhanced Predictability
With SureSmile’s precise digital planning and customizable aligners, you can feel confident about the outcome of your treatment. Your provider monitors progress closely to ensure your teeth are moving according to plan.
