Invisalign and SureSmile
“Invisible” braces at Lifetime Family Dentistry give you a discreet, comfortable way to straighten your teeth. We offer two leading clear aligner options: Invisalign and SureSmile. Both enable your treatment to match your smile goals, timeline, and budget. Both systems are designed for effective, predictable results without metal brackets or wires, and Dr. Bielawski and our team guide you through every step with care tailored to you.
Why Choose Invisalign and Suresmile for invisible braces?
Invisalign and SureSmile offer numerous benefits, especially when compared to other conventional orthodontic approaches (like metal braces). Here’s what makes them stand out:
Virtually Invisible: The clear aligners are almost undetectable, allowing you to undergo treatment without others noticing.
Removable: Unlike braces, you can remove your aligners to eat, drink, brush, and floss, which promotes better oral hygiene during treatment.
Comfort: With no sharp brackets or wires, Invisalign aligners are made from a smooth, flexible material that won’t irritate your mouth.
Predictable: Using advanced 3D computer imaging technology, you are able to preview your final smile before you even start treatment.
The Clear Aligner Treatment Process
1
Custom Treatment Plan
We’ll create a customized treatment plan using 3D digital imaging technology. This involves taking precise digital impressions of your teeth, which are used to generate a series of clear, custom-fit aligners tailored to your specific dental alignment needs.
2
Receiving Your Aligners
Once your aligners are ready, you’ll receive them along with detailed instructions on how to use them. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next in the series. This gradual process helps to shift your teeth into the desired position gently and effectively.
3
Regular Check-ups
Throughout the treatment, you’ll have periodic check-ups with Dr. Bielawski to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. These visits are crucial to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
4
Completion and Retention
After you’ve gone through all the aligners in the series, and your teeth have reached the desired alignment, the final step is to maintain the results. We typically provide a retainer to wear to keep your teeth in their new position.

Frequently asked questions about invisible braces, Invisalign and SureSmile
Who’s a good candidate for invisible braces?
Invisible braces (clear aligners) are a great fit for teens and adults who want a subtle way to straighten their teeth without brackets or wires. Most people with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or minor bite concerns can be treated with aligners. The best way to know for sure is a quick consultation—our team will check your teeth and bite, talk through your goals, and confirm whether Invisalign or SureSmile is the right match for your smile.

What can I eat with clear aligners?
One of the best parts about clear aligners is that you can still enjoy your favorite foods, because you’ll remove your aligners to eat. That means no food restrictions like you’d have with traditional braces. Just be sure to take aligners out for meals and snacks, drink water only while wearing them, brush and floss (or at least rinse) before putting aligners back in.
This helps prevent staining, cavities, and trapped food, and keeps your aligners clear.
How often do I need to wear my aligners?
For the best and fastest results, most patients should wear their aligners 20–22 hours per day, only taking them out to eat, drink anything besides water, and clean your teeth. Consistent wear is what keeps your treatment on track. If aligners aren’t worn as directed, teeth may not move as planned, and treatment can take longer. We’ll give you a simple routine to follow and check your progress along the way to make sure everything stays on schedule.
