Dentsply Sirona Unveils SureSmile™ Simulator for Informed Aligner Therapy Decisions

Dentsply Sirona introduces the SureSmile™ Simulator, an application within DS Core™. This tool is designed to facilitate comprehensive patient discussions about the advantages of SureSmile® Aligner Treatment by offering a glimpse of the expected results before the commencement of therapy. 

With the SureSmile™ Simulator, dentists can efficiently showcase a patient’s potential new smile within minutes, thereby fostering confident and well-informed treatment decisions.

Enhancing Dental Treatment Decision-Making

The SureSmile™ Simulator is said to empower dentists to make more confident treatment choices. By presenting the aesthetic benefits of aligner therapy, the tool aims to enable patients to make timely and informed decisions about their dental care.

Dentsply Sirona and 3Shape Forge Enhanced Dental Workflow Integration

This software application leverages state-of-the-art technology, including 3D visualisation and automated modelling. Utilising artificial intelligence (AI), it provides a quick yet accurate assessment of treatment options and case complexity, all within a span of under 5 minutes. The result is a visually engaging representation of a patient’s potential new smile.

Through DS Core™, dental practitioners can securely store and share these simulations with patients. This feature allows patients to involve their family and friends, potentially increasing acceptance of the recommended treatment.

Gaining Confidence and Smiles

Vishal Sharma, DMD, based in Calgary, Canada, shared his experience with the SureSmile™ Simulator: “The SureSmile™ Simulator has been a powerful addition to my clear aligner consult workflow. Being able to show my patients a high-quality simulation, in real time, has been positively impactful in visually reinforcing the benefits of clear aligner therapy. It is fast, it’s accurate, and it is consistent with the high-quality imagery we are accustomed to from Dentsply Sirona software. I anticipate that every SureSmile user will find this DS Core™ feature as valuable a tool as I have.”
