A clear aligner treatment option tailored to your dental needs
Spark Clear Aligners are a removable clear aligner treatment used to move teeth in small stages over time. At Beachside Dental, treatment starts with a consultation so your dentist can assess your teeth, bite and overall suitability before preparing a personalised treatment plan.
What are Spark Clear Aligners?
Spark Clear Aligners are custom-made clear aligners worn over the teeth. Each aligner is designed to apply gentle pressure to support gradual tooth movement based on your treatment plan.
Treatment is planned on a case-by-case basis. We will assess your teeth, bite and oral health to determine whether Spark Clear Aligners are suitable for your needs.
Who may be suitable for Spark Clear Aligners?
Spark Clear Aligners may be considered for patients with concerns such as:
- Crowded teeth
- Spaces between teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
Suitability for this treatment option still depends on each individual’s case, the health of the teeth and gums, and the goals discussed during consultation.
Features of Spark Clear Aligners
Spark Clear Aligners are made from TruGEN™ material and are designed to be clear and stain-resistant. They are also removable, which makes it easier to take them out for meals and daily cleaning.
These features make Spark Clear Aligners a discreet orthodontic option for patients who want a treatment that fits easily into everyday life.
Our 6-Step Spark Clear Aligners Treatment Plan
1. Initial consultation
Your appointment begins with a clinical assessment. We will examine your teeth, bite and oral health, and discuss whether Spark Clear Aligners are suitable for your case.
2. Records and treatment planning
If clear aligners are suitable, records may be taken to help plan treatment. These may include photographs, scans, impressions or X-rays, depending on your case and the treatment approach used at the clinic.
3. Aligners are ordered
Once your treatment plan is confirmed, your custom Spark Clear Aligners are prepared based on the prescribed stages of movement.
4. Fitting and wear instructions
When your aligners are ready, you’ll be shown how to place and remove them, how to care for them and when to move to the next aligner in the series.
5. Progress reviews
Review appointments allow us to monitor tooth movement and check that treatment is progressing as planned.
6. Retainers after treatment
After active treatment, retainers may be recommended to help maintain tooth position. Teeth can shift over time, so retainers are commonly used after orthodontic treatment.
What to Expect During Treatment
For the aligners to function correctly, they must be worn for the majority of the day. They are removed for eating or drinking anything other than water. It is important to brush your teeth before reinserting the aligners to maintain good oral hygiene and prevent the trapping of food particles against the enamel.
Attachments, Monitoring and Treatment Time
Some cases require small, tooth-coloured “attachments” temporarily placed on the teeth to help the aligner grip and move the tooth effectively. We will monitor your progress throughout the treatment period. The total treatment time varies significantly depending on the complexity of the case and the specific clinical goals established during your consultation.
Spark Clear Aligners vs Traditional Braces
Spark Clear Aligners and braces are both orthodontic treatment options used to move teeth. The most suitable option depends on your teeth, bite, oral health and treatment goals.
Spark Clear Aligners are removable, while braces stay fixed to the teeth throughout treatment. A consultation allows us to explain which option is the better fit for your case.
