At River City Dental we pride ourselves on offering world best practice treatment using the highest quality, most efficient products. SureSmile fits our brief perfectly – they are comfortable, easy to remove and replace, and offer significant savings compared to other types of aligners. And of course, nobody will know you are wearing them! Another big advantage is that they are removed for brushing and flossing, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene.

At River City Dental we will formulate a customised treatment plan for each patient, outlining the number of sets of aligners required. . The aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours each day, and should be removed before eating, drinking, brushing and flossing. Every two to three weeks a new set of aligners will be used.

For many the benefits are purely cosmetic – a healthy, bright smile showing well-aligned and cared for teeth can improve a person’s confidence and give them an advantage in social and business situations. However, at River City Dental we take a holistic approach to dental services, and cosmetic enhancement is not the only benefit. People with misaligned teeth and jaw can suffer from problems with speaking, eating, and even breathing and snoring. Teeth which overlap each other can be at greater risk of wear and tear, or inadequate cleaning leading to more decay and cavities, so fixing them can be a good idea to prevent issues occurring in the long term.
