Spark aligners can correct many mild to complex orthodontic concerns, including:
Clear aligners are not just for straightening the front teeth. When planned and supervised by an orthodontist, they can also improve the bite and position of the back teeth.
Our board-certified orthodontists will evaluate your teeth, bite, facial balance, and smile goals to determine whether Spark aligners are right for you.
We use a comfortable 3D digital scan instead of traditional impressions. Your orthodontist then creates a personalized treatment plan for your teeth and bite.
You will typically wear each set of aligners for one to two weeks before moving to the next set.
For the best results, aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours each day and removed only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
We will monitor your tooth movement and bite throughout treatment. Appointment timing varies based on your individual needs and progress.

Spark aligners require commitment. Because they only work while you are wearing them, patients must be responsible about keeping them in place for the recommended 20 to 22 hours each day.

Clear aligners should generally be worn 20 to 22 hours each day. Wearing them less than directed can slow treatment or affect the final result.
No. Remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. You can continue enjoying your favorite foods as long as you brush before putting the aligners back in.
Many patients need small, tooth-colored attachments to help the aligners grip certain teeth and create precise movements. The number and location depend on your treatment plan.
Yes. Clear aligners can treat many overbites, underbites, open bites, crossbites, and other bite concerns. More complex cases may require elastics, additional attachments, or a few braces and may take longer with more aligners needed.
Treatment time varies based on the complexity of your smile, how your teeth respond, and how consistently you wear your aligners. Your orthodontist will provide an estimated timeline after completing your evaluation.
