What Is the Process for Getting Invisalign or SureSmile at Sheyenne Dental?

We believe in making cosmetic dental care simple, personalized, and effective. Here’s what you can expect during your clear aligner treatment at our West Fargo dental office:

• Completion and retention with a final set of aligners or retainers

How Long Does Clear Aligner Treatment Usually Take?

Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case, but most patients complete their clear aligner therapy in as little as a few months—others may require up to two years. The key factors influencing the timeline include how far the teeth need to move and how consistently the aligners are worn.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Clear Aligners?

A clinical evaluation is always the first step in determining if clear aligners are right for you. Most patients with mild to moderate misalignment are great candidates for Invisalign or SureSmile aligners. However, some complex cases may still require traditional orthodontics.

We also consider your lifestyle and level of commitment. Since aligners need to be worn nearly all day, patients who are consistent and compliant see the best results

What Can Clear Aligner Therapy Fix?

Invisible aligners can correct a wide range of dental issues, including:

• Overbites and underbites
• Gaps between teeth
• Mild to moderate crowding
• Slight rotations or misalignments
• Certain types of bite irregularities

For more complex cases, our team may coordinate with other specialists to create a comprehensive treatment plan.

Invisalign vs. SureSmile – What’s the Difference?

While both systems are effective, there are a few key differences:

• Materials and design: Invisalign uses patented SmartTrack material; SureSmile uses a different proprietary plastic.
  Treatment speed: SureSmile may offer faster treatment times in some cases due to its planning software.
• Planning software: Both platforms offer advanced digital customization, but the user interface and diagnostics vary.
• Cost and availability: Treatment cost can depend on your unique needs and the provider’s preferences.

We’ll help you choose the option that best suits your goals and lifestyle.

Daily Wear & Care Instructions:

To get the most out of your clear aligner treatment, it’s important to follow these care guidelines:

• Wear your aligners 22–24 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
• Clean your trays daily using gentle brushing, denture cleaner, vinegar water, or ultrasonic cleaners.
• Always store your aligners in the protective case provided to avoid damage or loss.

Eating and Drinking with Clear Aligners:

While it is technically possible to eat with your aligners in, we strongly recommend removing them for all meals and beverages (except water). This prevents staining, discomfort, and food particles from becoming trapped, which can increase your risk for cavities or bad breath.

Are Invisable Aligners Comfortable to Wear?

Most patients find clear aligners far more comfortable than traditional braces. You may experience mild pressure during the first few days of each new tray, but the smooth, custom-fit material is designed for easy wear throughout your day.

How Often Will I Need to Visit During Treatment?

You’ll typically return to our office every six weeks for progress checks and new trays. However, visit frequency may vary based on your treatment plan and how well your teeth are moving.

How Much Do Clear Aligners Cost in Fargo, ND?

Clear aligner cost depends on several factors, including the complexity of your case and length of treatment. At Sheyenne Dental, we’re happy to provide a full cost estimate at your consultation. We also offer financing options and will help determine if your dental insurance includes orthodontic coverage.
