Spark Clear Aligners in London

If you want to straighten your teeth without metal braces, Spark clear aligners are an excellent option. At Thousand Smiles, we provide Spark treatment for patients seeking a discreet, comfortable, and effective way to achieve a straighter smile.

Made with TruGEN™ material, Spark aligners are clearer and more comfortable than many alternatives, offering an almost invisible orthodontic solution.

What Are Spark Clear Aligners?

Spark clear aligners are a modern orthodontic system that uses a series of removable, transparent trays to move your teeth gradually. Each set of aligners is custom-designed to fit snugly over your teeth and apply gentle pressure, guiding them into the correct position over time.

Because Spark aligners are removable, you can eat, drink, brush, and floss without the restrictions often associated with fixed braces.

How Spark Aligners Work

Treatment with Spark follows a simple and predictable process:

Initial consultation – your dentist examines your teeth and takes digital scans to plan your treatment.
Custom aligner design – advanced 3D software maps out every stage of movement.
Wearing your aligners – you’ll wear each set for 1–2 weeks, at least 20–22 hours per day.
Progress checks – your treatment is monitored at regular appointments and via Dental Monitoring, a smartphone app that allows us to track your results remotely.
Completion and retention – once treatment is finished, retainers are provided to keep your teeth in their new position.

Most treatments last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the complexity of the case.

Key Benefits of Spark Clear Aligners

Spark is considered one of the most advanced aligner systems available today. Its advantages include:

Virtually invisible – Spark aligners are among the clearest aligners on the market, making them highly discreet.
Enhanced comfort – each aligner is hand-trimmed and scalloped to fit smoothly along the gumline, reducing irritation.
Stain resistance – TruGEN™ material resists discolouration, keeping your aligners clear throughout wear.
Hypoallergenic – Spark aligners are free from BPA, latex, phthalates, and mercury, making them a safe choice for sensitive patients.
Effective tooth movement – the advanced design ensures efficient and predictable results.

Are Spark Clear Aligners Right for Me?

Spark aligners are suitable for both adults and teenagers with mild to moderate orthodontic needs, including:

Crowding
Spacing or gaps
Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
Mildly rotated teeth

If you want a discreet alternative to braces that fits seamlessly into daily life, Spark may be the right option. Your suitability will be confirmed during your consultation.

Spark vs. Traditional Braces

While both braces and aligners can deliver excellent results, Spark offers unique benefits:

Removable, so you can eat and drink without restrictions
Clear, making them barely noticeable in social and professional settings
Easier to clean compared to fixed appliances
Fewer emergency visits for broken wires or brackets

Traditional braces may still be more suitable for complex cases, but for many patients, Spark provides a faster, more comfortable journey to straighter teeth.

Spark vs. Invisalign

Patients often ask how Spark compares to Invisalign. Both systems are effective, but Spark aligners offer some distinct advantages:

Spark aligners are often clearer and less noticeable than Invisalign
TruGEN™ material is designed for enhanced comfort and stain resistance
Spark uses advanced planning software for precise results
Many patients find Spark aligners slightly more affordable

Your dentist will advise on which system best suits your individual needs.

Treatment Timeline

Mild corrections – 6–9 months
Moderate corrections – 9–15 months
Complex cases – up to 18 months

You will need to wear your aligners for 20–22 hours daily for the best outcome, only removing them for eating, drinking (anything besides water), and brushing.

Caring for Your Spark Aligners

To keep your treatment on track and your aligners clear:

Clean aligners daily with lukewarm water and a soft brush (avoid hot water).
Always store them in the provided case when not in use.
Rinse your mouth or brush after eating before putting aligners back in.
Avoid strongly coloured or hot drinks while wearing aligners.

Good oral hygiene is also essential during treatment. Brush twice daily and floss once a day.

After Treatment: Retainers

Once your treatment is complete, retainers are needed to maintain your results. Without them, teeth can gradually shift back to their original position. Retainers are usually worn full-time at first, then at night long-term.
