How Spark Clear Aligners Work
Spark Clear Aligners serve the exact same purpose as braces – to gradually shift a patient’s teeth to address crookedness, bite issues, and other orthodontic concerns. However, they accomplish this using a system of custom-made plastic trays that fit over the teeth, rather than metal brackets connected with wire.
Patients wear these aligners for roughly 22 hours each day, only removing them to brush their teeth or eat their meals. Every two weeks or so, patients also advance to a new set of trays to keep up with the movement of their teeth. Assuming these guidelines are met, the aligners will gradually shift their teeth into healthier, straighter positions over the course of several months.
Who Spark Clear Aligners Can Help
While severe orthodontic cases may warrant traditional treatment options like braces, Spark Clear Aligners are capable of addressing a very wide scope of orthodontic issues, including:
Crowded Teeth
Overcrowding is a common concern that can impact both the look and the function of your smile. Luckily, Spark Clear Aligners can gently guide your teeth into properly aligned positions.
Gaps Between Teeth
Gaps between teeth don’t just affect your confidence; they increase the likelihood of suffering from cavities or gum disease since there’s more space for bacteria to become trapped. Spark Clear Aligners help you close these gaps, and in turn, protect your future oral wellness.
Bite Alignment
Overbites, underbites, crossbites, and even open bites are all fairly common concerns that can cause serious harm to teeth if left unaddressed. Minor bite issues can easily be corrected with the help of Spark Clear Aligners.
The Benefits of Spark Clear Aligners
Spark Clear Aligners have helped countless patients achieve their orthodontic goals with unmatched convenience and comfort. It’s a highly sought-after solution due to the many benefits it offers, including:
- On average, it takes less time to complete clear aligner treatment compared to metal brace treatment.
- Since the aligners are made from a special type of plastic, they’re virtually invisible while being worn.
- The aligners are also fully removable, meaning patients don’t have to follow the same dietary restrictions they would for metal braces.
- Typically, patients who wear clear aligners have fewer routine check-in appointments with their provider.
How Much Do Spark Clear Aligners Cost?
Everyone has a unique smile, which means that the orthodontic process varies greatly from patient to patient, and there’s no “set price” for clear aligner treatment. That said, during your consultation, we’ll be able to review your dental history and discuss your smile goals with you before coming up with a plan as well as details concerning the timeline and total cost of care. If your dental insurance plan has provisions for orthodontic treatment, our team is happy to work with you to ensure that you’re fully maximizing your benefits.
