Spark Aligners
Spark Aligners are designed to provide effective orthodontic treatment while seamlessly blending into your life – not interrupting it! They are a popular alternative to traditional braces because they are virtually invisible and can be easily removed for eating or drinking, meaning you won’t face dietary restrictions as you would with metal braces.
Spark Aligners are designed to treat a variety of teeth-straightening cases, including crowding, spacing, open bite, underbite, overbite, crossbite, and more. They are custom-made to fit your teeth and gradually shift them into the desired position.
Spark Aligner Frequently Asked Questions
During Spark treatment, patients wear a series of dentist prescribed, custom manufactured, clear plastic, removable aligners that gradually move teeth with gentle force from their original state to the desired position.
For best results of your treatment, you need to wear your aligners for 22-24 hours per day. The removable aligners can be taken out before eating, drinking and brushing, and we advise you to brush your teeth after meals before putting your aligners back in.
Your treatment plan is unique to you, so how often you need to change your aligners depends on your case. Typically, you can expect to receive a new set every two weeks, but regular check-ins with your dentist and sticking to your treatment plan will ensure you’re on the right track!
No, you shouldn’t experience pain during Spark Aligner treatment. However, you may experience slight pressure or discomfort each time you get a new aligner, as the pressure is designed to shift your teeth into the desired position over time. However, there is no need to worry, as this is completely normal!
As with all orthodontic treatments, the time it takes to reach your desired result depends on your specific case. Every case is different, and we customise each patient’s treatment plan to suit their orthodontic needs. Your dentist will be able to discuss the expected time it will take to complete your treatment during your consultation.
