Teeth Straightening with SureSmile
Clear Aligners in Hassocks

Straighten your teeth discreetly with clear aligners

If you would like straighter teeth but do not want fixed metal braces, SureSmile clear aligners may be a suitable option. SureSmile uses a series of removable, transparent aligners to gradually move your teeth into a more balanced position.

At Hassocks Dental, we use digital scans and careful treatment planning to assess your smile, explain your options and create a personalised aligner plan designed around your teeth, bite and goals.

Clear aligners are popular with adults and older teenagers because they are discreet, removable and easy to fit around everyday life.

What are SureSmile clear aligners?

SureSmile clear aligners are custom-made removable trays that fit closely over your teeth. Each aligner is slightly different and applies gentle pressure to move the teeth step by step.

Unlike traditional braces, there are no fixed brackets or wires. You remove the aligners when eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing and flossing. For the best results, aligners usually need to be worn for around 20–22 hours per day, depending on your treatment plan. SureSmile and Dentsply Sirona describe the system as using digital impressions, imaging and planning technology to create a customised treatment plan.

Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants

What can teeth straightening help with?

Teeth straightening is not only about appearance. Improving tooth position can also make your teeth easier to clean and may help improve how your bite feels.

SureSmile clear aligners may be suitable for helping with:

  • Crowded teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Mild to moderate overlapping
  • Rotated teeth
  • Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
  • Some bite concerns, such as overbite, underbite or crossbite

The best way to know whether aligners are suitable is to have a consultation. Some more complex cases may need a different orthodontic approach or additional treatment before aligners can begin.

Why choose clear aligners?

Clear aligners are designed to be discreet and convenient. They are especially popular with patients who want to improve their smile without the appearance of fixed braces.

Benefits can include:

  • Nearly invisible aligners
  • Removable for meals and cleaning
  • No fixed metal brackets or wires
  • Digital treatment planning
  • A preview of your expected smile outcome
  • Easier brushing and flossing compared with fixed braces
  • Suitable for many adult cosmetic straightening cases

Because the aligners are removable, your results depend heavily on wearing them as instructed. If aligners are left out too often, treatment can take longer or may not progress as planned.
