Spark™ Clear Aligners Treatment
If you have crooked or misaligned teeth, traditional braces are not your only solution. At Lakewood Dental Group, we proudly offer Spark™ Clear Aligners, a subtle, comfortable, and highly effective alternative to metal brackets and wires. Our experienced team will design a custom treatment plan to help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile with precision and comfort.
How Do Spark™ Aligners Work?
Your Spark journey begins with a digital 3D smile evaluation, using advanced scanning technology to capture detailed images of your teeth. These digital models allow our team to map out your tooth movements from start to finish.
Your digital impressions are then sent to the Spark laboratory, where custom aligner trays are created using TruGEN™ and TruGEN XR™—Spark’s innovative materials designed for exceptional clarity, flexibility, and stain resistance.
As your teeth gradually shift into ideal alignment, you’ll transition to a new set of trays according to your personalized plan. For the best results, Spark aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day.
Who Is a Candidate for Spark™ Clear Aligners?
Spark is suitable for adults and teens experiencing mild to moderate orthodontic concerns. This system effectively corrects:
-
Overbite
-
Underbite
-
Crossbite
-
Open bite
-
Crowded or overlapping teeth
-
Gaps between teeth
Spark aligners can address many of the same issues as fixed orthodontics—without the appearance or discomfort of metal braces.
How Long Does Spark Treatment Take?
Treatment duration varies depending on the level of correction needed. Some patients complete Spark treatment in as little as six months, while others require more time depending on complexity. Many individuals notice visible improvements within just a few weeks.
Advantages of Spark™ Clear Aligners
Spark offers all the functional benefits of orthodontic treatment while providing unique advantages of its own:
-
Nearly invisible: TruGEN™ material is designed for exceptional clarity, making Spark one of the most discreet aligner systems available.
-
More comfortable: The trays feature carefully polished edges to reduce irritation often caused by traditional braces.
-
Removable: You can enjoy all your favorite foods and maintain easy brushing and flossing routines.
-
Advanced material performance: TruGEN™ provides efficient tooth movement, enhanced force retention, and greater resistance to stains.
-
Custom fit: Each set is crafted specifically for your teeth, helping ensure precise movement and predictable results.
How Do I Care for My Spark Aligners?
Caring for Spark aligners is simple. To keep them clear and fresh:
-
Rinse and gently brush them daily with warm—not hot—water.
-
Use an approved aligner-cleaning solution if desired.
-
Brush and floss after every meal before reinserting your trays to prevent staining and plaque buildup.
Proper care helps maintain both the clarity of your aligners and the health of your smile.
How Long Do Spark Results Last?
Once you complete treatment, you will need to wear a retainer to maintain your new alignment. Our team will design a custom retainer that is comfortable and durable. With consistent use, your Spark results can last a lifetime.
