Case Complexity | Some complex cases like large gaps and severe bite problems can be corrected. | Most commonly used for mild to moderate cases, but can be designed for some complex needs. |

Paying for Your SureSmile Aligners
Because having straight teeth can help prevent decay, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, and other serious oral health issues, many insurance companies will contribute to the cost of orthodontic treatment. Our office serving Brooklyn, NY, and beyond accepts most insurances, offers flexible financing options, and allows patients who qualify to pay for part of their treatment with a flexible spending account (FSA).
Brooklyn Heights Dental® makes paying for dental care easy. At this time, we accept all major credit cards, cash, checks, and other forms of payment.
When to See an Orthodontist
Not everyone is a candidate for clear aligner systems like SureSmile and Invisalign. If you have severe misalignment, our dentists can refer you to a trusted orthodontist in the Brooklyn area who can provide orthodontic treatment with braces.
Braces use brackets and wires to straighten even the most severe cases of misalignment. Though clear aligners are less noticeable, the field of orthodontics has come a long way and options like clear brackets and tooth-colored wires are more accessible than ever.
Your orthodontist can help you explore orthodontics and determine which solution will best fit your budget, concerns, and lifestyle.
