Spark Clear Aligners
If you’re looking to straighten your teeth discreetly, clear aligners can be an excellent option. Alongside Invisalign treatment, we also offer Spark Clear Aligners – an advanced aligner system designed to gently move your teeth into a healthier, straighter position.
Spark Clear Aligners use a series of custom-made, transparent trays to gradually guide your teeth into alignment. The aligners are comfortable, removable and almost invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teenagers who would prefer a more discreet alternative to traditional braces.
At your initial consultation, your dentist will assess your teeth and discuss your goals for your smile. Using advanced digital scanning technology, we create a precise 3D model of your teeth so that we can carefully plan each stage of your treatment. This technology allows you to see a digital preview of how your teeth are expected to move and what your final smile could look like.
How Spark Clear Aligners Work
Spark aligners work through a series of clear trays that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. The treatment process is simple and easy to follow:
- Consultation and assessment – Your dentist will examine your teeth and take a digital scan to determine whether Spark Clear Aligners are suitable for you.
- Custom treatment plan – A series of aligners is created specifically for your teeth, each designed to make small, controlled movements.
- Wearing your aligners – You will wear each aligner for around 1–2 weeks, depending on your treatment plan.
- Daily wear – Aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours per day, removing them only when eating, drinking anything other than water, or cleaning your teeth.
- Progressing through the series – Each new aligner continues moving your teeth step by step towards their ideal position.
- Review appointments – You’ll attend occasional check-ups so your dentist can monitor progress and ensure your treatment is on track.
Spark aligners are made from advanced TruGEN™ material, which is designed to provide exceptional clarity, comfort and durability. The material is also known for resisting staining better than many other aligner systems, helping your aligners stay clear throughout treatment.
Benefits of Spark Clear Aligners
Many patients choose Spark Clear Aligners because they offer a number of advantages compared to traditional braces:
- Virtually invisible – the clear aligners are very discreet and difficult to notice
- Comfortable fit – smooth edges help minimise irritation to the gums and cheeks
- Removable – enjoy your favourite foods without restrictions
- Easy oral hygiene – remove the aligners to brush and floss normally
- Predictable results – digital treatment planning allows you to visualise your results from the beginning
Spark aligners can treat a range of orthodontic concerns including crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, mild to moderate bite issues and general misalignment.
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case, but many patients complete their Spark treatment in 6 to 18 months.
During treatment, you’ll attend occasional review appointments so your dentist can check your progress and provide your next set of aligners. These visits are usually quick and convenient.
Once your teeth have moved into their final position, you will normally be advised to wear retainers to help maintain your results and keep your new smile looking its best.

How long do I need to wear my aligners each day?
For the best results, aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours per day. Removing them for long periods can slow down your treatment progress.
Can I eat while wearing Spark aligners?
No. Aligners should be removed when eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps prevent damage or staining.

Some patients may notice a slight lisp during the first few days while adjusting to the aligners, but this usually disappears quickly.
Are Spark aligners comfortable?
Spark aligners are made from smooth material designed to fit closely against your teeth. You may feel gentle pressure when switching to a new aligner, which simply means your teeth are moving.
How do I clean my aligners?
Clean your aligners daily using lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush. Avoid hot water as it can distort the aligner material.
Are Spark Clear Aligners suitable for everyone?
Spark aligners can treat many orthodontic concerns, but they may not be suitable for every case. Your dentist will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your individual needs.
