SureSmile® Braces
Get the desired results faster
We are delighted to be able to offer you the SureSmile® system. We are the first practice worldwide to use the system outside of the US. SureSmile® is a new digital treatment system which works to provide orthodontic treatment using robotic hands to precisely bend archwire to your unique prescription. SureSmile® can be combined with all conventional fixed braces and represents a substantial improvement of previous treatment with fixed braces.
Fewer treatment appointments
The computer-controlled tooth movement allows the number of treatment steps to be reduced. Treatment time is shorter and you need substantially fewer check-up appointments at the practice.
Faster
Reduces your treatment time by up to 30%. For the first time, with SureSmile® it is now possible to simulate different treatment options sing the multi-volume technology on the computer, before beginning treatment on the patient. Thus it is always possible to design the optimal treatment strategy for each patient, with the desired result computer-designed by the orthodontist.
Less pain
The brace is friction reduced to allows faster and gentler tooth movement.
Precision and individuality
Precise
The digital treatment technique allows a very precise and predictable result. With the use of high-precision robotically bent SureSmile®-archwires we achieve an exact treatment result.
3D volume tomography
We are the only practice in Europe to that can display dental roots digitally and move them three-dimensionally with 3D volume tomography and SureSmile®. Especially in conjunction with jaw surgery, this allows unparalleled depth of diagnostic planning.

Diagnosis
Before treatment begins, the patient is examined and diagnosed in detail to work out an individualized treatment program.Scan
At the beginning of treatment your teeth are scanned with the SureSmile® OraScanner or 3D volume tomography. A 3D model of your denture is made in the digital laboratory.3D-Treatment Planning
Now the entire treatment procedure is simulated for every single tooth movement with the SureSmile® 3D treatment planning software to come up with a digital design for the wires.SureSmile® – Robots Bend Wire
The final step is for the SureSmile® robot to bend all wires according to the digital design made to measure for your denture. These "intelligent" wires are the most efficient wires in orthodontics today.
