What is Spark?
Spark is a treatment that uses clear aligner trays to gently move teeth into place. The trays are worn in a series over time to create a beautiful smile. Spark is a popular alternative to traditional braces, and does not have any brackets or wires. The Spark trays are discrete and are comfortable when worn, and do not cause gum or mouth irritation.
The Spark aligner trays are worn anywhere between 20-22 hours a day. The time worn each day depends on the patient’s treatment plan and the level of correction needed. Spark trays are easily removable for drinking and eating, and have a blue indicator to let patients know when they have worn the trays for the required amount of time each day. The blue indicator is great for teens using Spark, and helps parents know if their child has worn their trays for the correct amount of time.
Who is a Good Candidate for Spark?
Having that beautiful straight smile is important, and we want our patients to be proud of their smile. A smile is the first thing you see, and our team will listen to each patient’s goals to ensure we get you the results you desire. Spark is a popular choice for both teens and adults. This treatment helps if you have overcrowding, chewing, or overbite issues. Older teens and adults can follow the instructions daily and ensure the trays are worn for the required amount of time. On average Spark treatment takes between 6-18 months which is comparable to the treatment time for traditional braces. During our Spark consultation process we will discuss each patient’s age, level of correction, and smile goals to help to choose which orthodontic treatment is best.
