Frequently Asked Questions

Both Spark and Invisalign are clear aligner systems used for orthodontic treatment. Invisalign is a well-known and established brand, while Spark is a newer entrant to the market. Both systems have shown positive results in straightening teeth, but the choice between them should be made in consultation with a dental professional based on your specific case and treatment goals.

To keep your Spark aligners clean and fresh, make it a routine to clean them twice a day along with brushing your teeth. Use a soft toothbrush and a denture cleaner or mild soap to gently brush the aligners. Rinse them thoroughly with lukewarm water before putting them back in your mouth.

The recommended wear time for Spark aligners may vary depending on your specific treatment plan and the instructions provided by your dental professional. However, as a general guideline, it is typically recommended to wear clear aligners for about 20 to 22 hours per day.
 
Consistency in wearing your Spark aligners is crucial for the treatment to be effective. Aligners should be worn for the majority of the day and only removed for eating, drinking (except for plain water), brushing your teeth, and cleaning the aligners themselves. It is important to follow the specific guidelines provided by your dental professional to ensure the best results for your orthodontic treatment.
 
Remember that wearing your aligners for the recommended number of hours per day helps ensure that your teeth are consistently under the necessary pressure to move them into the desired positions. Deviating significantly from the recommended wear time may prolong your treatment or affect its effectiveness.
 
If you have any concerns or questions about the wear time of your Spark aligners, it is best to consult with your dental professional who can provide specific instructions based on your individual treatment plan.
