What is SureSmile?
Clear aligners are a modern alternative to traditional metal braces. Instead of brackets and wires, a series of custom-fitted, removable trays gradually shifts your teeth into alignment — with no metal, no brackets, and no food restrictions.
At Tri-Cities Orthodontics, we use SureSmile® — a precision clear aligner system developed with advanced digital lab technology. Like Invisalign, SureSmile® aligners are:
- Virtually invisible when worn
- Removable for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene
- Custom-designed from digital scans of your smile
- Comfortable — no sharp brackets or wires
- Suitable for teens and adults

Dentofacial Orthopedics
Our team’s advanced training in dentofacial orthopedics allows us to treat not just how teeth are aligned, but how the entire facial structure develops.
Am I a Candidate?
Clear aligners can correct a wide range of alignment concerns, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites and underbites
- Mild to moderate crossbites
More complex bite or skeletal issues may be better addressed with traditional braces for greater precision. The best way to find out if SureSmile® is right for you is through a free consultation at our Bristol, VA or Kingsport, TN office.]
What to Expect
Wearing Your Aligners
Commitment makes clear aligner treatment work. For best results, wear your aligners 20–22 hours per day — removing them only for meals, drinks (anything other than water), and brushing.
- Tips for keeping your aligners clear and effective:
- Always remove before eating or drinking anything other than water
- Brush and floss before putting trays back in
- Store in your case when not in use — if they’re not in your face, they’re in their case
SureSmile® VPro™ Device: Our team may provide this 5-minute daily high-frequency vibration device to improve aligner fit, comfort, and seating throughout treatment.
Check-in appointments are typically scheduled every 6–10 weeks.
Insurance & Payment
We believe every patient in the Tri-Cities deserves access to high-quality orthodontic care. That’s why we:
- Accept most major dental insurance plans
- Work with TennCare and Virginia Medicaid (where applicable)
- Offer flexible monthly payment plans to fit your budget
Our team will review your insurance benefits and provide transparent cost estimates before treatment begins — no surprises.
