SureSmile® Braces in Kent, WA
SureSmile® is an advanced braces technology that uses digital scans, 3D modeling, and robotically shaped wires to move teeth with exceptional precision. At Advanced Orthodontics Kent, Dr. Gabriela Aragon uses SureSmile to make treatment more accurate, more comfortable, and up to 25-40% faster than traditional braces.
Getting braces is an exciting step toward a healthier, more confident smile - and modern orthodontics makes the experience smoother, faster, and far more comfortable. One of the most advanced options available today is SureSmile®, a technology that transforms the braces experience for patients of all ages. At Advanced Orthodontics Kent, we use SureSmile to make your treatment more precise and efficient from day one - replacing manual wire bending with digital scans, 3D modeling, and robotically shaped wires that guide your teeth with exceptional accuracy.
How Does SureSmile Work?
SureSmile begins with a detailed digital scan of your teeth, converted into a 3D model that lets Dr. Aragon plan tooth movement with remarkable precision. What makes it unique: your personalized plan shows the exact final position for each tooth; a robot bends your archwires using heat and electric current to match that plan; and the wires activate at mouth temperature, moving teeth smoothly and comfortably. This blend of digital planning and robotic wire shaping creates a more direct path to your final smile - reducing many of the delays and adjustments of traditional braces.
Benefits of SureSmile
- Shorter treatment times - traditional braces often take two to two-and-a-half years; SureSmile can shorten treatment by 25-40% through precise planning and custom wires.
- Fewer office visits - pre-bent wires need fewer adjustments, meaning fewer trips to our Kent office.
- Less overall discomfort - smoother, more controlled tooth movement means gentler adjustments and fewer sore moments.
- More precise final results - every wire is crafted to guide teeth toward a beautifully balanced smile and well-aligned bite.

SureSmile combines modern imaging, software, and robotics into a treatment experience that feels thoughtful, efficient, and tailored to you. Children, teens, and adults all benefit from the added accuracy and comfort - and it pairs with clear ceramic brackets for a more discreet look.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is SureSmile only for teens, or can adults use it too?
SureSmile works well for children, teens, and adults. Because the wires are customized and planning is precise, adults especially appreciate the efficiency and comfort.
Can SureSmile be used with clear or ceramic braces?
Yes. SureSmile is compatible with several types of braces, including ceramic. If you prefer a more discreet look, Dr. Aragon can explain how SureSmile pairs with clear brackets.
Will SureSmile change how often I need adjustments?
Most patients need fewer adjustments because the robotically shaped wires follow a more direct path. You’ll still come in for regular check-ins, but visits are often shorter and less frequent.
Does SureSmile cost more than traditional braces?
Cost depends on your orthodontic needs, not just the technology - and the shorter treatment and fewer visits often help balance it. We’ll give you a clear estimate and payment options at your consultation.
