Common Orthodontic Issues Spark™ Clear Aligners Can Treat
Spark is a great option for addressing a variety of alignment issues without the need for brackets or wires. These custom trays work gradually, shifting your teeth into place through steady and controlled movement. Many common orthodontic problems are well within its range.
- Fixes crowding: Guides overlapping or tightly spaced teeth into better alignment.
- Closes unwanted gaps: Minimizes spacing that may affect speech or trap food.
- Improves bite alignment: Helps correct mild overbites and underbites for balanced function.
- Corrects minor bite issues: Aids in closing open bites and straightening crossbites for a better fit.
Spark™ Clear Aligners For Teens Vs. Adults
Both teens and adults can enjoy the flexibility and appearance of Spark clear aligners, though their priorities may differ. Teens benefit from features that support responsibility, while adults love how easy the trays are to maintain. Regardless of age, it’s a reliable path to a healthier smile.
- Built-in wear indicators for teens: Show how long aligners are worn each day for treatment success.
- Encourages responsibility for teens: Helps young patients stay on track with consistent habits.
- Discreet and convenient for adults: Ideal for work, social events, or on-the-go lifestyles.
- Low-maintenance treatment for adults: Makes it easy to manage aligner care with minimal disruption.
Mild Vs. Moderate Misalignment Cases
Spark is best suited for mild to moderate cases that don’t require major bite correction. Your dentist will assess how complex your needs are during your consultation and recommend what will work best. The more straightforward your case, the quicker your journey often is.
- Mild crowding or spacing: Involves a few teeth that are slightly misaligned.
- Minor bite issues: Includes small gaps or a lightly tipped tooth.
- Moderate rotation or overlap: Affects multiple teeth or noticeable arch issues.
- Visible spacing concerns: Involves wider gaps or more complex movement needs.
When Braces Are A Better Fit
There are times when braces are a better option due to the complexity of your case. Spark clear aligners can handle a lot, but not every alignment problem can be solved with trays alone. Braces might be recommended if more intensive movement is needed.
- Jaw misalignment or bite correction: Requires repositioning that aligners can’t always achieve.
- Heavily rotated or impacted teeth: May need bracket-based movement for proper results.
- Difficulty with routine compliance: Braces eliminate the need to remember aligner wear time.
