Clear aligners are an alternative to traditional bracket and wire braces for many orthodontic patients. Aligners are designed to fit directly over the teeth and are custom-created for each individual patient. Each series of aligners are precisely calculated to achieve a certain tooth movement so the result is a beautifully straight smile over time.

At Gire Orthodontics, Dr. Gire uses both Spark and Invisalign aligners. Invisalign is the most commonly thought of brand of aligners, however, Spark aligners are the next generation of aligners comprising of superior esthetics, smoother margins, less staining, and stronger plastics. Unlike Invisalign, which can be offered by all dental professionals after a short training course, Spark is ONLY available for use by orthodontics which means patients know they are in the hands of an expert. Spark is an advanced product designed to be used for advanced, specially trained orthodontists only. You won’t find this product at any general dentist’s office.
