Straighten your teeth with our Spark Aligners at SHN Orthodontics
The team at SHN Orthodontics in Mission Viejo, California, works with teenagers and adults who want to improve their bite alignment and their smile’s overall appearance. Imperfections such as poor bite alignment, gaps between the teeth, and misaligned teeth can impact one’s overall look when socializing with others. For some, it can cause them to feel incredibly self-conscious about how their smile looks. With the help of Dr. Shannon Hilgers Nissen and her team, patients in and around the area considering their options may want to ask about traditional braces and alternatives such as Spark Aligners. Let’s take a look at this clear aligner system offered at SHN Orthodontics and the many frequently asked questions heard at our office.
What are Spark aligners?
Spark is a specialized clear aligner system that is used by orthodontists and dentists to help their patients realign their smiles without the use of metal bracket-and-wire braces. Instead, this method uses TruGEN, a specialized material that is used to make the aligners. Compared to other clear aligner systems on the market today, the Spark Aligner is more discreet, more comfortable, more efficient, and stain-resistant.
How do I wear my Spark Aligner trays?
The Spark Aligner trays should be worn for around 22 hours a day, only taking them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss. This ensures optimal movement of the teeth and the best possible results in the shortest amount of time. It is critical that you closely follow the recommended wear schedule provided by your orthodontist to see optimal results.
How long does it take to see results with Spark Aligners?
The length of treatment with Spark Aligners can vary depending on the individual’s specific case. Patients with more severe misalignment of the smile may require more treatment time than those looking to close a gap or two in the front of the smile. When you undergo your evaluation at SHN Orthodontics, Dr. Shannon Hilgers Nissen will examine your current smile and talk to you about your particular goals. Then, she can give a more accurate estimate of how long you might take to achieve your results. The timeframe quoted also requires patients to be compliant with their treatment and wear their trays as directed.
