What Makes Spark Clear Aligners Different?

Spark Clear Aligners stands apart from traditional braces by using a series of custom-made, removable clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Each aligner is uniquely designed based on your digital treatment plan, ensuring precise movement and predictable results.

Unlike metal brackets and wires, Spark Clear Aligners are made of smooth, BPA-free SmartTrack® material — virtually invisible and comfortable against your gums and cheeks. You can remove them to eat, drink, brush, and floss, allowing you to maintain your oral hygiene and enjoy your favorite foods throughout treatment.

Spark Clear Aligners is ideal for patients seeking a discreet orthodontic option without compromising on effectiveness or accuracy.

How Spark Clear Aligners Works?

The Spark Clear Aligners system relies on advanced digital scanning, 3D modeling, and custom aligner fabrication to guide your teeth into their ideal alignment.

1. Digital Scan and Consultation

Your Spark Clear Aligners journey begins with a 3D digital scan of your teeth using the iTero® scanner. This creates a precise virtual model of your mouth, eliminating the need for messy impressions.

2. Customized Treatment Plan

Dr. Crutchfield uses Spark Clear Aligners’ ClinCheck® software to map every tooth movement virtually. This allows you to preview your smile transformation before treatment even begins.

3. Custom Aligner Fabrication

Based on your digital plan, a series of custom aligners are fabricated using SmartTrack® material. Each set is slightly different, gently guiding your teeth toward their target position.

4. Gradual Progress

You’ll wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, or floss. Every new set continues the movement process as planned.

5. Monitoring and Adjustments

Regular check-ins with Dr. Crutchfield ensure your treatment is progressing smoothly. Most patients visit every 6–8 weeks for quick, easy progress evaluations.
