Straighten your smile with SureSmile aligners
Discreet, removable clear aligners. Precision-planned using advanced 3D technology and tailored around your life.
About the treatment
What is SureSmile?
SureSmile is a modern clear aligner system that uses advanced 3D digital technology to map your teeth and design a personalised treatment plan, step by step, from first movement to final position.
Unlike traditional fixed braces, SureSmile aligners are virtually invisible, completely removable, and crafted with exceptional precision. You'll wear a series of custom-made aligners, each one gently shifting your teeth a little closer to their ideal position.
At New Forest Family Dental, we combine SureSmile's cutting-edge technology with a calm, patient-centred approach, taking time to explain every stage and making sure you feel confident throughout your journey.
Why SureSmile
The clear choice for a straighter smile.
Nearly invisible
Made from clear, medical-grade plastic, the aligners are virtually undetectable when worn. Most people won't even notice.
Removable
Take them out for meals, drinks, and special occasions. No restrictions on what you eat and no changes to your daily routine.
Precision planning
Advanced 3D technology maps every tooth movement, so your treatment is accurate and predictable from the very first aligner.
Comfortable
No sharp wires or brackets: just smooth, custom-fitted aligners shaped precisely to your teeth.
Predictable results
You'll see a digital preview of your expected final smile before treatment even begins, so you know exactly what to expect.
Guided care
We monitor your progress at regular appointments throughout your treatment to keep everything on track.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions.
How long does SureSmile treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case. Most patients complete treatment within 6 to 18 months. We'll give you a more accurate estimate during your initial consultation once we've assessed your teeth.
How many hours a day do I need to wear my aligners?
For the best results, aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day. You can remove them to eat, drink anything other than water, brush, and floss.
Will the aligners be uncomfortable?
Most patients experience mild pressure when switching to a new set of aligners. This is completely normal and a sign the treatment is working. Any discomfort typically settles within one to two days.
Can I eat and drink with aligners in?
You should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than cold water. This helps protect both the aligners themselves and your teeth from staining or damage.
How much does SureSmile cost?
The cost of treatment varies depending on the complexity and duration of your case. We'll provide a full, transparent cost breakdown during your consultation and can discuss flexible payment options.
What happens when treatment is finished?
Once your final aligner stage is complete, you'll be fitted with retainers to hold your teeth in their new position. We'll advise you on how often to wear them to maintain your results long term.
Is SureSmile suitable for teenagers?
SureSmile offers specific aligner options for younger patients. During the consultation we'll assess suitability based on your child's dental development and advise accordingly.
