Aligner Treatment with SureSmile in London, ON

What is Suresmile Aligner Treatment?

SureSmile clear aligners are custom-made plastic trays designed to gradually move your teeth into better alignment over time. This treatment offers a convenient and discreet way to improve the appearance and function of your smile while fitting more comfortably into your daily routine.


At Blue Heron Dental Centre, SureSmile aligners are used to help patients achieve healthy, confident smiles with treatment that is tailored to their needs. If you are considering clear aligners, it is important to choose an option that is designed for both comfort and predictable results.

Why Patients Choose Clear Aligners

Many patients, especially adults, prefer clear aligners over conventional braces for several reasons. They are less noticeable, removable, and often more convenient for daily life. Benefits of SureSmile clear aligners include:

A white checkmark inside a black circle.

A more discreet way to straighten teeth

A white checkmark symbol centered inside a solid black circle.

The ability to remove aligners for eating and drinking

Fewer visits compared to traditional braces

Because the aligners are removable, they can also be taken out for special events and daily routines such as eating, brushing, flossing, and cleaning the trays.

Wearing Your Aligners as Directed

To achieve the best results, clear aligners must be worn for the prescribed amount of time each day. The recommended time out of the aligners is generally limited to meals, hot drinks, oral hygiene, cleaning the trays, and special occasions.


If aligners are not worn as directed, treatment can take longer than expected. In some cases, delays in wear can affect progress and may require treatment adjustments. Following instructions carefully is important to help keep your treatment on track and achieve the desired outcome.

Our Cases

At Blue Heron Dental Centre, SureSmile clear aligner treatment is planned around each patient’s individual smile goals. In one case, a 25-year-old patient completed treatment over 10 months to close spaces between the teeth. Laser gum correction was also performed to improve the balance and appearance of one of the front teeth. The patient was very pleased with the final result. In another case, a 26-year-old patient completed SureSmile treatment in 9 months. The result was straighter teeth, improved bite alignment, closed gaps, and more effective chewing. The patient was very happy with the outcome and the improvement in his smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do SureSmile clear aligners work?

    SureSmile clear aligners are custom-made trays that gradually move your teeth into better alignment over time. Each set of aligners is worn for a specific period before progressing to the next stage in the series. The treatment is designed to improve the position of the teeth in a gradual and controlled way while supporting both smile appearance and function.

  • Are clear aligners noticeable?

    Clear aligners are designed to be much less noticeable than traditional braces. Because they are made from transparent plastic, many patients feel more comfortable wearing them in social and professional settings. This makes them a popular option for adults and teens who want a more discreet orthodontic treatment.

  • Can I remove my aligners during treatment?

    Yes. One of the main benefits of clear aligners is that they are removable. You can take them out for meals, brushing, flossing, cleaning the trays, and certain special occasions. However, they must be worn for the recommended amount of time each day to keep treatment progressing as planned.

  • How long does SureSmile treatment take?

    Treatment time depends on the complexity of your alignment needs and how consistently the aligners are worn. Some patients may complete treatment in under a year, while others may require more time. During your consultation, your dentist will explain the expected treatment timeline based on your specific case.

  • What happens if I do not wear my aligners enough?

    If aligners are not worn as directed, treatment may be delayed and your teeth may not move according to plan. In some cases, additional refinements or changes to the treatment plan may be needed. Following the recommended wear schedule is one of the most important parts of achieving successful results.
