SureSmile® Links

One of the first things a person notices about you is your smile. A beautiful smile can help improve your self-esteem and confidence with the comfort that comes from knowing you don’t have to hide your smile. At Naidu Orthodontics, we strive to provide the best results possible utilizing the best orthodontic technology available.

Last year we introduced the SureSmile Robotic System in our office in order to provide the very best technology to create amazing, custom smiles for our patients that will last a lifetime. Below is a brief summary of this technology:

Step One: SureSmile creates a 3-D computer model of your teeth by using advanced imaging technology to scan your teeth. The 3-D images are captured with the OraScanner or Cone Beam Computed Tomagraphy (CBCT). This scan procedure is the beginning of your SureSmile treatment.

Teeth- Initial Patient Scan

Step Two: With the 3-D model, Dr. Naidu can see and measure your teeth and analyze how they fit together from any angle. Suresmile Treatment Planning software provides virtual simulations that allow Dr. Naidu to determine your optimal treatment with the final position of your teeth, yielding the most effective plan for your unique treatment needs. The target position of each tooth is planned in advance so you’ll know what outcome to expect.

Tooth- Computerized Tooth Movements

Step Three: Once your treatment plan is determined, SureSmile directs a robot to bend a shape-memory alloy archwire according to your doctor’s prescription by heating Copper Ni-Ti® metal to over 1000ºF during the robotic customization process. These “smart” wires permanently retain your individual prescription and are activated by your own body heat. This wire is your wire designed to deliver gentle forces to move your teeth consistently and directly to the desired finishing position, thereby reducing your time in braces up to 40 percent (6 to 9 months less time)!

Robot- Robotically Bent Wires

With this system your treatment is precise, efficient and gives the best results possible. It is important to understand that your teeth do not move faster with SureSmile - they move with precision that was never before possible. Thank you for entrusting Naidu Orthodontics with your smile and have a wonderful day!
