Comfort comes in a variable trimline

With SureSmile Clear Aligners, you can customize the design of your trimline. An automated, high-precision, laser-cutting process is used to offer the ultimate in comfort. The edges of SureSmile Aligners are exceedingly smooth, whether you choose a straight or scalloped trimline. The straight trimline follows the gingiva at a consistent distance, which you determine. A small overlap of the gingiva can have a positive effect on the force transmission and even reduce the number of necessary attachments. The scalloped trimline follows the course of the gingiva and is even less noticeable than the straight trimline.
