Emergency Dentistry
Same-day care for pain, swelling, breaks and knocked-out teeth — including a $29* emergency exam.
Straighten your teeth with precision-engineered, custom-fit aligners designed to move your smile faster and more predictably than traditional clear tray systems.
SureSmile is a technology-driven approach to orthodontics that we offer as part of our broader orthodontic program at Flossophy Dental Studio. Rather than relying on standardized trays that gradually nudge teeth through a one-size-fits-all progression, SureSmile uses 3D digital imaging and robotically bent, patient-specific archwires or precisely milled clear aligners to plan every stage of your tooth movement before treatment even begins. The result is a more exact, more efficient orthodontic experience that is popular with teens, adults, and anyone in Fort Worth who wants straighter teeth without the guesswork of generic aligner kits.
Because SureSmile technology maps your bite digitally and calculates the ideal path for each tooth, our team can often reduce the number of adjustment visits you need and shorten total treatment time compared to conventional braces or off-the-shelf aligner trays. This matters whether you are correcting mild crowding, closing gaps, fixing a crossbite, or finishing orthodontic work that was started elsewhere. SureSmile is not a gimmick or a shortcut around quality care; it is a precision tool that our orthodontic team uses to plan smarter, move teeth more efficiently, and give you a smile you are proud to show off.
Most people assume orthodontic treatment is only for obviously crooked teeth, but SureSmile addresses a much wider range of bite and alignment concerns. Many patients who visit us are surprised to learn that subtle issues they have lived with for years, mild crowding, a slightly uneven smile line, or teeth that have drifted since their teenage braces, are exactly the kind of cases SureSmile handles well. If any of the signs below sound familiar, a SureSmile evaluation is worth scheduling.
SureSmile is suitable for a wide range of ages and orthodontic needs, from teenagers finishing growth and development to adults who never had the chance for braces earlier in life. Candidacy depends less on age and more on the condition of your teeth, gums, and jaw joints, along with your willingness to wear aligners consistently. During your consultation, we take digital scans and a full orthodontic evaluation so we can tell you honestly whether SureSmile is the right fit or whether another approach, such as traditional braces, would serve you better.
Good candidates tend to share a few common traits: healthy gums, no untreated decay, and alignment issues that fall in the mild-to-moderate range. More complex skeletal discrepancies may require a referral or a combination approach, which we will always discuss with you clearly and without pressure.
What separates SureSmile from generic clear aligner kits is the degree of digital planning involved before your first tray ever touches your teeth. We begin with a detailed 3D intraoral scan rather than messy impression putty, which gives us an exact digital model of your current bite. That model is run through SureSmile's proprietary software, which calculates the most efficient path for every tooth to travel from its current position to its final, corrected position, accounting for root movement, not just the visible crown.
This level of planning allows our orthodontic team to anticipate problems before they happen, adjust the treatment sequence mid-course if your teeth are responding faster or slower than expected, and finish your case with fewer total office visits than many traditional aligner systems require. We tailor the specific SureSmile approach to your case, whether that means a full series of clear aligner trays or, for certain bite corrections, precision-bent archwires paired with discreet brackets.
Straight teeth are not only about appearance, though a confident smile is certainly part of the appeal. Properly aligned teeth are also easier to clean, distribute chewing forces more evenly, and place less strain on your jaw joints over time. When teeth overlap or crowd together, plaque collects in the hard-to-reach spaces between them, increasing the risk of cavities and gum inflammation. Correcting that alignment with SureSmile reduces those hidden maintenance headaches for years to come.
Patients who complete SureSmile treatment with our Fort Worth team often describe the change in two parts: the obvious cosmetic improvement they see in the mirror, and the quieter functional improvement they feel when biting, chewing, and even speaking more comfortably. Both matter, and both are part of what a thoughtfully planned orthodontic case should deliver.
Good aftercare habits make a real difference in how smoothly your SureSmile treatment progresses and how long your results last once your active treatment ends. Aligners are removable, which is convenient, but that convenience only pays off if you are disciplined about wearing them for the recommended hours each day and keeping both your teeth and trays clean. Skipping wear time or losing a tray can slow your progress and push back your finish date, so we build simple, sustainable habits into your treatment plan from the start.
Once your active aligner phase is finished, retention becomes the priority. Teeth naturally want to drift back toward their original positions, so a well-fitted retainer, worn as instructed, is what locks in the investment you just made. We will walk you through exactly what that schedule looks like for your specific case at your final fitting appointment.
Every SureSmile case follows a clear sequence from initial evaluation to the moment you remove your final tray. Here is what you can expect at each stage when you start treatment with our Fort Worth orthodontic team.
We review your dental and medical history, examine your bite, and discuss your goals before determining whether SureSmile is the right path for your case.
A fast, comfortable intraoral scan captures an exact model of your current teeth and bite relationship, no messy impression material required.
Using your scan, we build a precise, tooth-by-tooth movement plan and review the projected outcome and estimated timeline with you before anything is fabricated.
Your series of clear aligners, or precision archwires for combination cases, are fabricated according to the digital plan and fitted at your next visit.
You will return periodically so we can verify your teeth are tracking correctly, swap trays, and make real-time refinements if needed.
Once alignment goals are reached, we fit you for a custom retainer and set up a long-term wear schedule to protect your new smile.
Choosing where to start orthodontic treatment matters just as much as choosing the treatment itself. Our team has invested in the digital scanning and treatment-planning technology that SureSmile requires, and we combine that precision with the kind of attentive, unhurried care that makes a multi-month treatment plan feel manageable rather than stressful. We also stay deeply familiar with Fort Worth families and adult professionals alike, which means we can tailor your appointment schedule, your treatment pace, and your communication style to what actually works for your life.
SureSmile uses detailed digital 3D scanning and proprietary planning software to calculate exact root and crown movement for every tooth before treatment starts. This level of up-front planning, combined with the ability to recalculate your plan mid-treatment if teeth respond differently than expected, is what allows for more predictable results and often fewer office visits than standard clear aligner systems.
Treatment length depends on the complexity of your case, but many patients complete mild-to-moderate alignment corrections in several months to roughly a year, often faster than comparable traditional aligner treatment. We will give you a specific estimate after your digital scan and evaluation, since every bite is different.
SureSmile clear aligner trays are made from a transparent material that is difficult to notice in everyday conversation or in photos. Most patients find that coworkers, friends, and even close family members do not realize they are in active treatment unless they mention it.
Most patients feel mild pressure or tenderness for a day or two after switching to a new aligner tray as teeth begin to shift, which is a sign the treatment is progressing as planned. This sensation is usually far milder than the soreness associated with traditional metal braces and typically fades quickly with each new tray.
Yes. Because aligners are removable, you simply take your trays out to eat or drink anything besides water, then brush before putting them back in. There are no food restrictions like the ones required with traditional braces, which many of our patients consider one of the biggest everyday advantages.
Many dental insurance plans offer at least partial orthodontic coverage, and SureSmile typically qualifies under those benefits since it falls within standard orthodontic treatment. Our front desk team will review your specific plan with you and provide a clear breakdown of estimated costs before you commit to treatment.
