SPARK CLEAR ALIGNERS

How Spark Aligners Work

  • Spark Aligners are a new transparent alignment system created to align teeth in an unobtrusive and comfortable manner. As opposed to traditional braces, these aligners are composed of clear plastic that is slipped over the teeth to slowly shift them into the required position.
  • Treatment starts with a digital scan of the patient’s teeth. This scan is utilized to produce a clear and accurate 3D model, which enables orthodontists to prepare a unique virtual treatment plan. According to this plan, a set of transparent aligners is custom-made for the patient.
  • The aligners apply a slight, controlled pressure on the teeth, which follow a desired path to proper alignment. Each aligner is worn by a patient for a set duration until he or she moves to the next aligner in the series.
  • With Spark Aligners, one can easily achieve a straighter smile that is hardly noticeable during the process, provided they are used regularly and under dental supervision

How Spark Aligners Are Different

  • Spark Aligners are unique compared to other systems of clear aligners because of their superior material technology and customized fit. They are fabricated with TruGEN™ material, which is exceptionally clear and has better stain resistance than most traditional aligners. The aligners leverage this ultra-clear material so patients can obtain orthodontic care in a less conspicuous manner.
  • Spark Aligners have smooth, polished edges to increase comfort and reduce irritation to the gums and cheeks. Their advanced material assists in providing consistent and efficient movement of the teeth while ensuring the treatment remains comfortable.
  • Another important benefit is the personalized digital treatment planning that enables orthodontists to develop a very accurate and predictable treatment procedure unique to the patient’s dental needs.

Treatment Process

  • The Spark Aligners treatment process starts by scanning or digitally imaging the patient’s teeth. The scan produces a detailed 3D representation that assists orthodontists in planning the whole treatment process.
  • With state-of-the-art digital technology, a custom virtual treatment plan is created to slowly shift the teeth to their appropriate position. After the plan is finalized, a sequence of custom-made clear aligners is produced.
  • The patient wears each aligner a set period of time (i.e) one to two weeks  and then the next aligner in the series is worn. The aligners can be removed and the patients can eat, drink, brush and floss without restrictions whatsoever. Dental reviews help in checking the progress of the therapy and also make sure that teeth are shifting as scheduled.

  • Spark Aligners work with the help of the set of custom-made clear aligners that gradually move the teeth into the right position. Every aligner is fabricated on the basis of a digital treatment strategy and provides mild force to move the teeth with mini steps.

  • The process of changing aligners to a new set may be accompanied by mild pressure and discomfort. This is a standard aspect of the treatment procedure and shows that the aligners are successfully moving the teeth.

  • No, You should not eat or drink other things except water without taking off Spark Aligners. It is a nice thought to take them out at mealtime so as not to break the aligners and also so as to easily keep the mouth clean.
