What is SureSmile?

SureSmile is a clear aligner system from Dentsply Sirona — one of the world's largest dental manufacturers — that straightens teeth with a sequence of custom removable trays. You wear each set 20–22 hours a day for one to two weeks, swap to the next, and your teeth move in small planned steps. No brackets, no wires, and nobody across the table can tell you're in treatment.

Most offices carry either SureSmile or Invisalign, so "which system is better" usually gets answered by whatever the office happens to sell. We're set up differently: both Dr. Ahmed and Dr. Sherzoy are certified in both systems, and your treatment starts with a 3Shape digital scan that shows us — and you — which one fits your case. For mild-to-moderate crowding and spacing, SureSmile frequently delivers the same result at a lower price. Patients from Fort Lee and Tenafly come to us specifically to compare the two under one roof.

SureSmile may help with

  • Crowded or overlapping teeth
  • Spaces or small gaps between teeth
  • Minor to moderate rotations
  • Teeth that shifted after past orthodontic treatment
  • Bite issues that are appropriate for aligner therapy
  • A straighter smile without traditional braces

What to expect, step by step

Clear aligner treatment works best when the plan is realistic and wear time is consistent. We explain both before you begin.

Consultation & scan

We evaluate your bite, spacing, crowding, and goals to see if SureSmile is a good fit.

Digital treatment plan

Your aligners are planned to guide tooth movement step by step.

Wear your aligners

You wear each set as directed, removing them for meals and daily cleaning.

Retainers & maintenance

After treatment, retainers help protect your new smile from shifting back.

Cost, insurance, and financing

SureSmile's lab fees run lower than Invisalign's, and for cases both systems handle equally well, that difference often lands in your favor. Some insurance plans contribute through orthodontic benefits — check whether yours has an adult age limit, a common catch — and we verify it for you before treatment. CareCredit, Cherry, and Sunbit financing with 0% interest options turn the total into monthly payments; details on our financial information page.

Common Questions

SureSmile Clear Aligners, answered.

How much does SureSmile cost in NJ?
SureSmile typically runs $3,000–$5,500 in Bergen County depending on case complexity [owner to confirm ranges] — often somewhat less than Invisalign for a comparable case, because its lab fees run lower. Some insurance plans contribute through orthodontic benefits, and CareCredit, Cherry, and Sunbit financing with 0% interest options break the rest into monthly payments. You get exact pricing at your consultation.
Is SureSmile the same as Invisalign?
No — they're competing clear aligner systems. Both move teeth with sequences of removable clear trays; they differ in manufacturer (Dentsply Sirona vs Align Technology), planning software, tray material, and price. For mild-to-moderate cases both work equally well and SureSmile usually costs less. Both of our doctors are certified in both systems, so our recommendation is based on your scan, not our certification.
Am I a candidate for SureSmile?
If you have mild-to-moderate crowding, spacing, or teeth that shifted after braces years ago, very likely yes. Severe rotations or major bite correction may point to Invisalign or another approach instead — and a 30-minute scan tells us definitively. We'll give you a straight answer either way, including 'you don't need treatment' when that's the truth.
How long does SureSmile take?
Most cases finish in 6–18 months: minor crowding and post-braces relapse sit at the short end, more complex movement at the long end. Your wear consistency is the biggest variable you control — 20–22 hours a day keeps the plan on schedule; trays that live in your pocket don't move teeth.
Can I whiten my teeth during SureSmile treatment?
Yes — and it's one of SureSmile's genuinely nice perks. The trays can double as whitening trays, so you can brighten while you straighten. Ask us about it at the consultation; timing whitening gel with your tray schedule is simple, and finishing treatment with straight and whiter teeth at once is a satisfying combination.
