A properly aligned smile is not just about aesthetics – it also supports better oral health by making it easier to clean your teeth and reducing strain on your jaw. If you are looking for a discreet and comfortable way to straighten your teeth, SureSmile® aligners offer a clear alternative to traditional braces. At Ariel Dental, our dentists and team provide SureSmile aligners in Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania, to help patients achieve beautifully aligned smiles with ease.

Unlike traditional metal braces, SureSmile aligners are designed for convenience and comfort while still delivering effective results. Patients choose SureSmile aligners because they offer:
- Nearly Invisible Appearance – The clear design allows you to straighten your teeth discreetly.
- Custom Fit & Comfort – Each aligner is designed to fit snugly while gently shifting your teeth.
- Removability for Daily Convenience – Take them out to eat, drink and brush as usual.
- Shorter Treatment Time – Advanced technology helps move teeth efficiently.
With SureSmile aligners, achieving a straight, confident smile has never been easier.
What Causes Misaligned Teeth?
Teeth can shift out of place for various reasons, including:
- Genetics – Some people naturally develop crowded or gapped teeth.
- Early Tooth Loss – Losing baby or adult teeth too soon can impact alignment.
- Thumb-Sucking & Other Habits – Prolonged childhood habits can affect how teeth develop.
- Injury or Trauma – Accidents can shift teeth or alter jaw positioning.
Addressing misalignment early can help prevent issues such as uneven wear, difficulty cleaning teeth and jaw discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions About SureSmile Aligners
How often do I need to wear my SureSmile aligners?
For the best results, SureSmile aligners should be worn for at least 20 to 22 hours per day, only removing them for eating, drinking (except water) and oral hygiene.
Can SureSmile aligners fix bite issues like overbites or underbites?
Yes, SureSmile aligners can address mild to moderate bite issues, including overbites, underbites and crossbites. More severe cases may require additional orthodontic treatment.
What happens if I lose an aligner?
If you lose an aligner, contact your dentist as soon as possible. Depending on your progress, you may need a replacement aligner or be advised to move to the next set.
Will wearing SureSmile aligners affect my speech?
Some patients experience a slight adjustment period where they may notice minor changes in speech. This usually resolves within a few days as the tongue adapts.
Can I chew gum while wearing SureSmile aligners?
It is not recommended to chew gum while wearing SureSmile aligners, as it can stick to the aligners and damage them. Remove your aligners before chewing gum.
