SureSmile Clear Aligners in Lunenburg, MA

While Dr. David D. Gianino has many choices of orthodontic treatment systems, he chooses SureSmile clear aligners to help many of his patients improve their smiles. When he cares for patients with crowded teeth, spaces between their teeth or problems like overbite, underbite or crossbite, he tells them about the benefits of the SureSmile system. 


In his years of practice, Dr. Gianino has seen that well-aligned teeth are much easier to keep clean. That means the individual with even teeth is less likely to suffer from tooth decay and gum disease. Therefore, orthodontic correction is not done just to improve a person’s appearance, although that is also an important benefit for so many people.

Straighten Your Smile

What Are Clear Aligners?

The SureSmile system of clear acrylic aligners is a method of correcting the orthodontic problems mentioned above. After an examination and a detailed scan of a patient’s teeth and mouth, a custom-designed series of clear aligners is delivered to the dentist’s office. These aligners fit snugly over the teeth and apply gentle, continuous pressure to ease the teeth into their proper positions. 


Each aligner is worn for a week or two (to be determined by SureSmile technicians) and then the patient proceeds to the next aligner in the series. Over a period of months, the teeth are shifted into their correct positions and the patient now has a smile they love to show off! 


Gone are the days when the only way of correcting a smile was with brackets glued to the teeth and wires strung from one bracket to another. Now, there is a better, more visually attractive and comfortable method of achieving a beautiful, healthy smile.

SureSmile Pros and Cons

Every teeth-straightening system has its pros and cons, no matter how good it is, but the comfort of the SureSmile system is such that the cons are extremely minimal. 

The pros are obvious:


  • The aligners are a clear acrylic material that makes them nearly invisible
  • They can be removed so you can eat your favorite sticky or chewy foods
  • Cleaning your teeth is much simpler than with metal braces
  • You won’t have photos of yourself with a mouth full of metal
  • There’s no irritation from the wires or brackets

The cons:


  • Not every orthodontic case will respond to clear aligners
  • A person who doesn’t want to wear them or skips wearing them will not see the desired improvements, will extend their treatment time or both

A person who is motivated to make an improvement in their smile, who does not have an unusual case that falls outside of the ability of this system to remedy, can enjoy the “pros.” Dr. Gianino can quickly tell you if your smile will respond to treatment with SureSmile aligners. 

SureSmile vs. Invisalign

What makes SureSmile preferable to other clear aligner systems such as Invisalign? The choice of a straightening system will be based on your unique needs, oral health and the doctor’s expertise. The system he chooses, whether it is SureSmile, Invisalign or another recommendation, will give you the results you want. Of course, the doctor will discuss the treatment options with you so you understand each system and its pros and cons.

SureSmile Cost

A quick visit to Dr. Gianino will enable you to get an estimate of the cost to correct your smile with SureSmile aligners. Because every patient will require a different number of aligners and a different length of time for correction, it’s not possible to estimate the cost without this examination. 


SureSmile treatment is often covered, in part or completely, by insurance plans. To find out your cost, please make an appointment with David D. Gianino Family and Cosmetic Dentistry. His staff will be able to help you determine what your final cost will be.
