What are Spark Aligners?

Spark Clear Aligners are removable plastic trays which are made from a clear, stain-resistant material and designed to precisely fit your teeth using the latest technology of a 3D digital scan.

If spark aligners are reccomended for you, as part of your treatment plan, you will wear a series of aligners in order, and each aligner moves your teeth a small step towards the plan your specialist orthodontist has prepared for your smile.

Because they are removable, you can take aligners out to eat, drink and clean your teeth. They are also clear, so they are less noticeable than traditional braces.

If Spark Clear Aligners are recommended for you, our treatment team will explain what to expect from your  treatment journey.

How do clear aligners work?

At L&L Orthodontics, your Spark™ Clear Aligners treatment begins with a detailed assessment, including a 3D digital scan of your teeth, dental photographs and X-rays. Our Specialist Orthodontists use this information to develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your teeth and bite.

Spark Aligners are a series of clear, removable trays designed to fit over your teeth and gradually guide them towards their planned positions. For treatment to progress as planned, aligners generally need to be worn for 20–22 hours a day and removed for eating, drinking anything other than water and cleaning your teeth.

You’ll progress through a series of aligners, typically changing to a new set every week as directed by your Specialist Orthodontist. Each set is designed to make planned adjustments as part of your overall treatment.

Who are clear aligners suitable for?

Suitability for Spark Clear Aligners depends on the position of your teeth, your bite and how well aligners fit into your daily routine.

Your orthodontist will advise whether clear aligners or another option, such as LightForce 3D braces, is best suited to your treatment needs.

Aligners for Teenagers

Spark Aligners may be suitable for some teenagers, depending on their teeth, bite and individual orthodontic needs. It’s also important that your teen can wear their aligners for 20–22 hours a day, keep them safe and bring them to each appointment.

Your Specialist Orthodontist will assess your teen’s smile and discuss whether Spark Aligners or braces are a suitable option for their needs and lifestyle.

Aligners for Adults

If you’re an adult considering orthodontic treatment, Spark Aligners offer a clear, removable option that fits around work, social occasions and everyday life. They can be taken out for meals and are less noticeable than traditional metal braces.

Your Specialist Orthodontist will assess your smile to determine whether Spark Aligners are suitable for your individual needs.

Clear Aligners FAQs

What are clear aligners?

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, removable clear trays that gradually move your teeth into position. At L&L Orthodontics, we offer Spark Clear Aligners, and your treatment is planned and supervised by one of our Specialist Orthodontists.

After a 3D scan of your teeth, your Specialist Orthodontist plans each stage of tooth movement, and your aligners are custom made to match the plan. Each aligner applies gentle pressure to move your teeth gradually, and you change to a new set, usually every week. At L&L Orthodontics, we use attachments which are bonded to selected teeth to help the aligners grip and guide your teeth into position.

It is recommended to wear clear aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day. Take them out only to eat, to drink anything other than water, and to brush and floss. Wearing your aligners as directed keeps your treatment on track.
