Suresmile vs Normal Braces
Posted: Sun Feb 06, 2011 12:03 pm
Hi this is what I know about suresmile vs normal braces.
Suresmile
-Uses a robot bended arch wire
-3D xray used in which u can see your results from the beginning
-More expensive, around $5600-$7000 in the US
-Limited availability
-Takes less time because the greater precision of the robot
-Although the robot directs the treatment, the orthodontist is needed for "tweaks" at the end
Normal Braces
-can use any type of xray, not just 3d
-generally cheaper
-can get in any country, not just in the US, so price can be as low as $2000.
-May take more time
My question is that at the end of both suresmile and normal braces, is the end result the same?? Also, does Suresmile take into consideration the overall balance of the face when designing the ideal bite? I have a long narrow face due to mouth breathing/nasal congestion, and would like my arch to be widened a bit to balance out my features. I absolutely do not want additional vertical growth of my facial bones. I don't have a lot of money but if suresmile can prevent a long misshapen face, i'll go with suresmile.
