SureSmile® clear aligners at Icónica
Plan the movement.
Understand the commitment.
SureSmile uses a series of removable clear aligners to guide tooth movement. We assess your teeth, gums, and bite before recommending treatment. Digital records support the plan, while regular reviews help evaluate how the teeth are responding.
Wear is part of treatment
Typically 20–22 hours daily, as directed.
Retention after alignment
Follow the individualized retainer schedule.

A plan you understand.
Planning the next stepDigital planning.
Digital planning.
Real-world progress.
A digital scan captures the teeth for treatment planning. The proposed tooth movements help explain the direction, but a simulation is not a guaranteed result. Progress checks and, when needed, adjustments or additional aligners help guide treatment.
Images illustrate general treatment concepts and are not presented as patient results.
The Icónica approach
Thoughtful steps.
Personal attention.
Your care begins with a conversation and a clear assessment. We connect the treatment recommendation to your health, comfort, and long-term plan.
Consult & scan
Discuss goals and assess oral health, bite, and the records needed for your plan.
Review the treatment plan
Explain proposed movements, attachments or other steps, estimated timing, and costs.
Wear & check progress
Use each aligner as directed and attend visits to evaluate fit and tooth movement.
Retain & maintain
After active treatment, follow your retainer and review plan to help limit shifting.
After treatment
A daily routine.
A lasting habit.
Remove aligners for meals and clean your teeth before replacing them. Care for the trays according to your instructions and store them in their case. Contact us if an aligner is lost, damaged, or no longer fitting as expected.
Before you begin, we review your health history, medications, treatment alternatives, expected sequence, and costs. Bring your questions so the plan is clear.

Planning & your options
Am I a candidate for SureSmile?
Suitability depends on your alignment needs, bite, gum and tooth health, and ability to follow the wear schedule. Some cases require another orthodontic approach.
How many hours should I wear the aligners?
The usual recommendation is 20–22 hours daily, with your exact instructions provided by your treating dentist. Consistent wear matters.
How often do I change trays?
Follow your prescribed schedule. Do not advance early or delay a change without discussing it with the team.
Can I eat while wearing them?
Remove aligners for meals and drinks other than water, following the instructions you receive. Clean your teeth before replacing the trays.
Treatment & ongoing care
What are attachments?
Small tooth-colored shapes may be bonded to teeth to help aligners apply planned forces. Whether you need them depends on the movements.
Will treatment be uncomfortable?
Pressure or tenderness can occur, especially with a new aligner. Contact the office about significant or persistent discomfort.
How long will treatment take?
Time depends on case complexity, wear, tooth response, and any additional aligners. The estimate is individualized and may change during treatment.
Is the digital preview a guarantee?
No. It is a planning simulation. Actual movement and the final result depend on the clinical response and treatment progress.
Will I need retainers afterward?
Yes, retention is part of maintaining alignment. You receive a retainer plan and instructions for ongoing use and review.
Costs & payment
How much does treatment cost?
Your estimate depends on the findings, procedure or restoration, complexity, and additional care. We review the planned fees and inclusions before you proceed.
Will insurance cover my treatment?
Coverage depends on your plan and the reason for treatment. Cosmetic services may not be covered. Our team can help review benefits and the estimated patient portion; an estimate does not guarantee insurer payment.
Do you offer financing?
Icónica offers access to Cherry, Sunbit, and CareCredit. Approval, rates, offers, and repayment terms vary by provider and applicant.
