Clear Aligners

What's so great about clear aligners?

Some people might feel shy about wearing braces, losing confidence in their looks or smile. Good news! Spark clear aligners are almost invisible, so you can wear them to work, school, parties, or other daily activities.

• They're also removable! That means there are no restrictions to what you can eat or risk of breaking a wire or dislodging a bracket — you just remove your aligner before a meal.
• Cleaning your teeth is a breeze when using aligners as you simply remove the aligners, brush and floss as you would normally, brush your aligners, then pop them back in to continue your alignment journey.
• You can whiten your teeth while straightening them, as each aligner serves as a custom-fit tray over your teeth.
• You can see what the likely outcome of your alignment will be before you start the process!
• Traditional braces can be uncomfortable at times, causing gum irritation, mouth sores, or tooth decay. Clear aligners provide a less-invasive alignment process, using less force and much greater comfort than fixed braces.

What happens in the dentist's chair?

• At your first consultation, we will spend some time getting to know you and what your dental goals are. We will discuss all of the orthodontic and/or restorative options we have at our disposal to provide you with the best possible result. All necessary dental records will be taken on this day, including intra- and extra-oral photos, intraoral scans (digital moulds) and a 3D radiographic scan of your jaws.
• After the initial consultation, we will issue you with your unique treatment plan detailing all that we discussed at your consultation as well as an actionable plan to follow in order to reach your end goals.
• Upon acceptance of your treatment plan, we'll design a precise, custom alignment plan from the various records and 3D scans of your teeth and jaws. The step-by-step plan details each phase of the process, mapping how each aligner will gradually shift your pearly whites into place.
• After some thoughtful planning, we will be able to schedule a follow-up discussion appointment with you in person or via video call to show you how your teeth will move and explain all of the intricacies involved in your custom alignment plan.
• Thereafter we give the manufacturers a bit of lead time to beautifully craft your custom fit aligners.
• Lastly, we deliver your beautiful smile-in-a-box, explain the do's and don'ts, and set up a follow-up program with our dedicated dental professionals to ensure your alignment journey stays on track!

Your commitment and self-discipline in wearing your aligners as prescribed will yield the best results in the shortest amount of time.
