How Do Spark Clear Aligners Work?
Spark clear aligners utilize precise, guided pressure to rearrange and realign teeth. Just like how braces rely on brackets and wires for this movement, the aligners themselves provide gentle, steady force to teeth, encouraging them to move into healthier positions based on Dr. Palmer’s treatment plan. As long as the patient complies with the treatment and wears their aligners continuously, they can see misalignment, bite issues, and other orthodontic concerns vanish over the course of several months, revealing a straight and symmetrical smile!
Benefits of Spark Clear Aligners
Spark clear aligners hold several advantages over traditional metal braces. In fact, patients often rave about just how convenient and comfortable the overall treatment process is! If you are currently deciding if this orthodontic treatment is right for you, then keep reading to learn a few noteworthy benefits.
Basically Invisible Braces
Although effective, many patients are hesitant to commit to traditional braces because the metal brackets and wires are so noticeable. Fortunately, Spark clear aligners are remarkably transparent and discreet. As a result, only you and Dr. Palmer will know you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment!
No Dietary Restrictions
Another downside of traditional braces is that patients need to abide by a long list of dietary restrictions. That’s not the case with Spark clear aligners because they are removable! As a result, patients can enjoy virtually all types of foods and beverages as long as they take their trays off and store them properly first.
Tip: Eat lots of healthy, well-balanced meals to reduce your risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other common oral health problems during your teeth-straightening journey.
Metal-Free Trays
In addition to being stain-resistant, durable, and removable, Spark clear aligners have smooth edges and are custom-made to fit the contours of your teeth without irritating your gums. In other words, they’re quite comfortable to wear long-term.
Shorter Average Treatment Timeline
Although there are several factors at play, many patients wear traditional braces for 2-3 years. Conversely, clear aligners deliver results in an average of just 12-18 months. So, if you have a wedding or another important event you want a straight smile for, this might be the best option!
Better Dental Hygiene
Another benefit that Spark clear aligners have over other orthodontic treatments is that it’s much easier to maintain a healthy smile. That’s because the aligners are removable and, therefore, patients don’t need to adopt cumbersome oral hygiene regimens or buy special dental care products. They can brush, floss, and rinse with mouthwash like usual!
Tip: Keep a travel-sized toothbrush with you so you can clean your teeth and your trays on-the-go.
Boosted Confidence
Have a date you’re looking forward to? Is there a big presentation coming up at work? Maybe you’re about to go on vacation and don’t want “metal mouth” to be featured in all of your pictures. Whatever the case may be, you don’t have to worry – Spark clear aligners won’t draw any unwanted attention to your smile.
Spark vs. Invisalign
You’ve probably heard of Invisalign, which is another popular brand of clear aligners that patients turn toward to improve their smiles. But what you probably haven’t heard is that compared to Invisalign, Spark clear aligners are quite exceptional. Not only do these aligners do the exact same job as Invisalign and other leading competitors, but they do often so in a more comfortable and convenient manner. The edges of these transparent aligners are smooth where they touch your gums, leading to drastically less discomfort while they’re being worn. Plus, Spark aligners also tend to be notably less expensive!
