SureSmile Clear Aligners

How much do SureSmile clear aligners cost?

SureSmile clear aligner treatment cost at Sriram Dental depends on case complexity. Prof. Dr. Vijjaykanth personally handles all aligner cases. A consultation with digital PrimeScan scanning will determine the exact cost for your case.

How long does aligner treatment take?

Simple cases (minor crowding): 6-18 weeks
Moderate cases: 6-12 months
Complex cases: 12-18 months

Dr. Vijjaykanth provides an exact timeline after digital scanning with South India's first PrimeScan intraoral scanner.

What is the difference between SureSmile and Invisalign?

Both are premium clear aligner systems. SureSmile is manufactured by Dentsply Sirona (USA) and uses advanced digital treatment planning. Invisalign is made by Align Technology. Dr. Vijjaykanth is certified in both systems and can recommend the best option based on your specific case complexity and goals.

Are clear aligners painful?

Clear aligners cause mild pressure when switching to a new tray (every 1-2 weeks), but this is not painful. Most patients describe it as slight tightness that subsides within 2-3 days. The treatment is far more comfortable than traditional metal braces.

Can adults get clear aligners?

Absolutely! Clear aligners are ideal for adults. Prof. Dr. Vijjaykanth's area of special interest is Adult Orthodontics. SureSmile aligners are virtually invisible, removable for eating and brushing, and don't interfere with professional or social life.

Dental Implants

How much do dental implants cost?

Dental implant costs at Sriram Dental vary based on the type of implant and case complexity. We use global standard implants from Osstem and Simpladent with in-house CBCT 3D planning for precision. Call 044-43592202 for a consultation and estimate.
