Spark Aligners

What is an Inman Aligner?

Spark Aligners are made with TruGEN™, the latest innovation in clear aligner material. Spark’s nearly invisible aligners are clearer, more comfortable, and stain less than the leading aligner brand.* In addition, we’ve designed them for more efficient and effective tooth movement.* Discover the difference Spark Clear Aligners can make for you when you try a product that’s BPA, mercury, latex, and phthalate-free!

What are Spark Aligners?

Spark aligners are a type of clear aligner — an orthodontic treatment that offers patients the perfect alternative to traditional braces in achieving straight teeth. Each set of Spark aligners contains cutting-edge orthodontic devices that improve on previous teeth-straightening options, such as Invisalign, by making the entire treatment more discreet and frictionless.

How do Spark Aligners work?

Spark aligners use advanced sustained force retention, meaning that the teeth straightening process is faster and more predictable.

While braces use brackets and wires to pressure teeth into becoming straight, these devices can dig into soft tissues, causing discomfort. Spark aligners offer patients a far more comfortable treatment experience!

How long does it take to see results from Spark Aligners?

Each patient cases is different and depends on a number of factors, not least your current standard of oral health. After your initial consultation with our Spark Aligner dentist, you will be given a good idea of your treatment time estimate. Some simpler cases are finished in 3 – 6 months.

How to Spark Aligners differ from other aligner brands?

The Spark aligner process is typified by polished edges and minimal aligner stains. The TruGEN™ technology means that Spark aligners are more transparent than other clear aligners.

Since Spark aligners do not have rough or sharp edges, they are perfect for patients with metal sensitivities or sensitive gums. The 3D printing process used in Spark aligners means that the aligners fit perfectly in a patient’s oral cavity, leading to a super comfortable treatment experience.

As the next generation of clear aligners, Spark aligners are trusted by orthodontists worldwide to move their patient’s teeth to their ideal locations faster and more predictably than the Invisalign system.

Are Spark Aligners painful?

Clear aligners induce tooth movement more gently than traditional braces, and as such, most patients experience only mild pain or discomfort. Spark aligners do not rely on the same apparatus as braces, such as brackets and wires, which means that soft tissue is less affected.

Will my Spark Aligner treatment be covered by my dental insurance or tax relief?

In order to claim tax relief on your Spark Aligner orthodontic treatment you will require a Med 2 Form completed by your dentist. This form is important as it certifies the non-routine nature of your dental treatment.

If you file your taxes online, most tax refunds are processed within 5 working days. If your treatment takes place over more than one year, fill out separate Med 2 forms for each year.

You will need to check with your dental insurance policy to see if you are entitled to any reimbursement on your Spark Aligner orthodontic treatment.

How do I clean my Spark Aligners?

As advised by Ormco Spark Aligners creator you should remove your aligners whenever eating or drinking to prevent staining. We recommend that patients should be particularly cautious around foods that cause dark stains, such as tea, coffee, berries and sauces. Patients should also avoid using nicotine products while wearing their aligners.

Even if they follow these suggestions, patients are still advised to regularly clean their aligners. The best cleaning options for maintaining the quality of the aligners are washing them with soap and water (rinsing them thoroughly) or using a soft-bristle toothbrush to clean them. Patients must not use toothpaste on their aligners since it may contain abrasive chemicals.

What is the fee for Spark Aligner treatment?

An orthodontic consultation costs €185. In this consultation you get a full orthodontic assessment, opg radiograph and any other required radiographs, a 3D scan of your teeth, full set of clinical photographs, the formulation of a 3D custom plan and video to show how your smile will change (this can be emailed to you for reviewing), and a review appointment 2 weeks later to review the plan.
