SureSmile is an all-digital system which uses new 3-D imaging and computer techniques for diagnostics and treatment planning and uses robotics to customize fixed orthodontic appliances. Treatment can be simulated in advance and different treatment strategies can be visualized; this allows detailed treatment planning. The application of CAD/CAM aims at improving reproducibility, efficiency, and quality of orthodontic treatment.
