What are Spark clear aligners?
At Huron Dental Centre of Mississauga, Ontario, Dr. Jameela Jifri and her dedicated staff see patients regularly who have imperfections or misalignment of the smile that makes them feel self-conscious and negatively impacts their self-esteem. To address this, she will often recommend patients consider treatments for realignment of the teeth within the dental arch. What often comes to mind is metal bracket-and-wire braces, but these aren’t the only way to achieve results. Instead, our team might suggest the many benefits of the Spark clear aligner treatment. Let’s dive deeper and see what sets the Spark aligner treatment apart from other aligner therapies on the market today!
What is the Spark aligner?
Spark aligners are a new clear aligner treatment used to achieve straighter smiles. It is best for patients with most Class I and Class II malocclusions and those with minimal cosmetic imperfections that can be easily addressed with a short treatment plan using these specialized, custom-made trays.
How is the Spark aligner different than other aligner therapies?
Dr. Jameela Jifri and her team at Huron Dental Centre find that many patients in the Mississauga, Ontario area love the Spark clear aligners for several reasons. Unlike other brands, Spark aligners:
- Are clearer. Spark is practically invisible and hard to see when worn over the teeth, allowing patients to feel confident while undergoing their treatment plan. The aligners are easy to remove when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing as well.
- Are more comfortable. Because the Spark aligners utilize TruGEN technology, they are manufactured in a way that provides a more comfortable treatment experience. They are fabricated with scalloped and polished edges, so there is no discomfort when wearing the trays and going about one’s day!
- Are more stain-resistant. The leading aligners often stain easier than Spark aligners, which in turn makes them much more noticeable when being worn. The Spark aligners have TruGEN technology which is designed to provide a clearer tray that is more stain-resistant.
- Are versatile. Patients who are considering Spark orthodontic treatment will find that this procedure can address a wide selection of imperfections and concerns, including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. They can also be utilized by patients with mild imperfections, such as gaps between the front teeth or one or more misaligned or crooked teeth near the front of the smile.
