What is the process for SureSmile in Dunstable?
Consultation
At your first consultation we will assess your teeth, gums and your bite. We will take x-rays of your mouth and scans of your teeth and discuss what you’d like to change about your teeth.

Create your bespoke SureSmile aligners
It will take a couple of weeks to create your SureSmile aligners. Once these are ready, we will invite you back to the dental practice in Dunstable to fit them and show you how to wear them.
Wear your SureSmile aligners
We recommend wearing your SureSmile aligners for at least 20 – 22 hours a day. Your dentist will show you how to remove your aligners so that you can clean them.
You wear your SureSmile aligners every day for the allocated time – usually one week before moving on to the next set of aligners in the series. You continue in this way until you have reached the final set of aligners in the series, and you can show off your stunning new smile.
You will also receive a SureSmile VPro which you should use daily for five minutes. This small device is inserted into your mouth and delivers gentle vibrations which help to ensure that your aligners are fitting snugly against your teeth.
