If crooked or misaligned teeth keep you from smiling confidently, but you don’t like the idea of wearing traditional braces to straighten your teeth, Hamlin Dental has a solution for you!

Tips for Successful Treatment with SureSmile
Your dentist assesses your smile to ensure that our orthodontic system will give you the results you've been looking for, but you are still concerned about a successful outcome. Below, we share a few tips to help ensure SureSmile's success.
Oral Hygiene Matters
You never want a cavity or tooth infection, especially not during your orthodontic treatment. Be sure to maintain your oral hygiene!
Visit Your Dentist
It's essential to see your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings. We also need to monitor your SureSmile progress periodically.
Clean Your Aligners
Be mindful of debris and bacteria collecting under your SureSmile aligners. Be sure to rinse them periodically. You can use a gentle soap.
Store Aligners Corectly
Never leave your aligners next to a stove or store them in temperatures that are too hot or cold. Also, never leave your aligners on the sink or table. They can be discarded accidentally.
Talk to Your Dentist
If you have questions along the way or damage an aligner, increasing discomfort, a sore in the mouth, or other issues during treatment, contact your Hamlin dentist for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
The answer is yes, with SureSmile® clear aligners!
SureSmile uses clear plastic aligners instead of metal brackets and wires to gently move your teeth into alignment. Wearing your aligners for at least 22 hours each day ensures that you achieve your desired results on time, and most patients can finish straightening their teeth in anywhere from six to 18 months, depending on their needs.
The Advantages of Clear Aligners in Hamlin

- Discretion: No one will ever know that you're straightening your teeth with clear aligners
- Ease: You can enjoy all the foods you love with no restrictions to your diet with SureSmile

Will SureSmile Work for Me?
The best way to determine if SureSmile is a treatment that will help you achieve your smile goals is to book an evaluation with Dr. Garcia. He's a certified SureSmile provider who can determine if it's the right treatment for aligning your teeth.
Contact Hamlin Dental at (585) 964-2000 to book your evaluation.
How Does SureSmile Work?
SureSmile uses clear plastic aligners customized to fit snugly against your teeth and move them gradually into alignment. Because the aligners are clear, they’re not noticeable, and their snug fit ensures that they don’t interfere with your normal daily activities, making them the perfect solution for busy adults who appreciate discretion.
Compliance is the key to successful treatment with SureSmile, and you’ll need to wear your aligners for at least 22 hours a day to keep your treatment on track. You can remove your aligners for meals, brushing, and flossing, making eating comfortable and easy and your home care routine simple. You'll never even have to make any changes to your diet since your aligners are removable.
You’ll have periodic checkups with Dr. Garcia throughout your treatment to ensure your new smile is on track, but you’ll be able to change your aligners every one to two weeks at home.

The SureSmile Advantage
Straightening your teeth with SureSmile offers several advantages:
- Discretion: Clear aligners aren’t visible, and no one will know that you’re straightening your teeth.
- Convenience: You don’t have to change your brushing and flossing habits during treatment with SureSmile because your aligners are removable.
- Cleanliness: It’s much easier to maintain oral health without navigating around brackets and wires.
- Confidence: As your teeth align, you’ll feel more confident about smiling openly.
When your teeth are straight, they are also easier to keep clean with routine brushing and flossing, reducing your risk of developing problems like tooth decay and gum disease.
A properly aligned bite also reduces problems with your jaw joint (TMJ), which can sometimes be painful and debilitating.
