SureSmile® Clear Aligners in Portland, OR: A Simple, Subtle Way to Straighten Your Smile

If you’ve been considering orthodontics but want a discreet, removable option, SureSmile® Clear Aligners could be the perfect fit. These custom trays gently guide your teeth into better alignment—without brackets or wires—so you can keep smiling confidently throughout treatment.

How SureSmile Aligners Work

SureSmile aligners come in a customized series. You’ll wear each set for the recommended time, moving step-by-step toward your ideal smile. Because the trays are removable, brushing, flossing, and eating are straightforward—no food lists or special tools required.

Benefits Patients Love

  • Low-profile look: Nearly invisible in everyday conversation. 
  • Removable convenience: Take them out for meals and routine oral care.
  • Comfortable, custom fit: Smooth trays designed for day-to-day wear.

Who’s a Good Candidate?

SureSmile is a popular choice for mild to moderate crowding, gaps, and relapse after braces. During your consultation at 92 Dentistry, we’ll evaluate your bite and discuss whether clear aligners—or another option—best meet your goals. We also offer Invisalign, giving you more than one trusted clear-aligner pathway under one roof. 

What to Expect at Your Visit

Your visit includes a comprehensive evaluation and a conversation about your goals and timeline. If aligners are right for you, we’ll outline a clear plan, home-care tips, and check-in milestones so you know exactly what comes next. (New here? See our new-patient exam guide for what a first visit typically includes.) 

Everyday Tips for Success

  • Wear your aligners as directed each day, typically 23 hours per day.
  • Clean trays with a soft brush and cool water (avoid heat).  Keep out of reach of animals.
  • Keep your previous set as a backup when you switch to the next.
  • If a tray cracks or you lose one, call us so we can keep your plan on track. (We’re here for urgent issues, too.)

Cost & Payment Options

We’ll provide an estimate after your consultation and review your insurance and flexible payment choices. 92 Dentistry accepts major cards and offers financing options—including CareCredit®—to make treatment fit your budget. 

SureSmile vs. Invisalign: Which Should I Choose?

Both SureSmile and Invisalign are proven clear-aligner systems. The “best” choice depends on your case, lifestyle, and preferences. Our team will help you compare options so you can start with confidence.

Quick FAQ

How long does treatment take?
Treatment time varies by case. We’ll share your expected timeline after your exam and 3D planning.

Will I need attachments or IPR?
Some plans include small tooth-colored “attachments” for precise movements or light enamel reshaping (IPR). We’ll let you know if they’re recommended for your results. 

Can I switch from braces to clear aligners?
Sometimes, after an evaluation, we can advise whether a transition makes sense for your bite and goals.
