At the Dental Center of Atherton, our dental team ensures every retainer is crafted to maintain both the alignment and the bite harmony achieved during treatment.

FAQs About SureSmile® Clear Aligners
-
SureSmile® combines advanced 3D treatment planning with orthodontic-grade precision, giving our dental team full control over each tooth’s movement for faster, more predictable results.
