La Habra/Chino Hills, CA – Adults aren’t the only ones who can reap the benefits of orthodontic treatment using Spark Aligners. Kids and teens can get smiles they’ll love to show off using the revolutionary aligner system, as well. Dr. Robert Gire explains.
“If your child already has crooked, crowded, or misaligned teeth, they may already be a bit self-conscious about their smile,” says Dr. Gire. “I know what that’s like, so I’m pleased to offer Spark Aligners for patients of all ages.”
What are Spark Aligners?
Spark Aligners are custom-designed, removable trays that fit snugly over the teeth. Each set of aligners is calibrated to achieve a certain tooth movement so that at the end of treatment, your child will have their ideal smile. Spark Aligners stand apart from other aligner brands for several reasons:

- TruGEN is the patented material that is used to create Spark Aligners. It renders the aligners so clear that they are virtually invisible. And that’s perfect for kids and teens who don’t want to draw attention to themselves during orthodontic treatment with a mouthful of metal. Your kids can laugh with friends and pose for all the selfies while they’re in treatment.
- Spark Aligners are stain-resistant, so they’ll stay looking brand new for the entirety of the time your child is wearing them.
- Smoother edges ensure a more comfortable fit. Every Spark Aligner is hand-trimmed and polished to scalloped edges that are designed to fit perfectly against the gumline. This minimizes irritation to the inside of the mouth, cheeks, and gums.
- The aligners use a thinner material than other aligner brands, resulting in a more comfortable wear and a less bulky feeling.
- Like other aligner brands, Spark Aligners are removable. That means you can eat whatever you want throughout treatment. And brushing and flossing are simple because there are no brackets or wires to maneuver around.
- Your child will receive several sets of aligners at each appointment, which means you won’t have to try to fit in a ton of appointments to your already busy schedule. Your child will wear their aligners as directed and visit us every 6-8 weeks for follow-ups and to receive their next aligners.
Spark Aligners are an excellent way for children and teens to get the smiles of their dreams. But, the results are dependent on your child following the orthodontist’s instructions carefully. Because aligners are removable, it can be easy to take them out and then forget to put them back in. To keep your treatment on track, the aligners must be worn 20-22 hours a day, and in the exact sequence your orthodontist intended. Your child can’t switch to a new aligner set too soon because each set is designed to achieve a certain tooth movement. Changing to a new set too quickly can negatively affect their progress.
Spark Aligners can treat a variety of orthodontic issues, from the mildest cases to even some complex issues. To determine if your child or teen could benefit from Spark treatment, schedule a consultation with an orthodontist. Spark Aligners, with the power of TrueGEN, offer a comfortable, discreet, and efficient way for your child or teen to get their ideal smile.
