Achieve a straighter, more confident smile with Spark Clear Aligners, the latest advancement in discreet orthodontic treatment. We are proud to offer this innovative solution to our patients seeking effective and virtually invisible teeth straightening.
The 4 Steps to Your New Smile
Initial Consultation
We'll begin with a comprehensive assessment to determine if Spark Clear Aligners are suitable for you. This includes a set of photographs and a discussion about your smile goals.
Custom Treatment Plan
If you’re a candidate for Spark, we'll take detailed photos, X-rays, and digital scans of your teeth. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we'll craft a personalised treatment plan, allowing you to visualise the step-by-step transformation of your smile.
Wearing Your Aligners
You'll receive a series of custom-made, removable aligners to wear daily, changing them approximately every 1–2 weeks as directed. For optimal results, it's recommended to wear your aligners for 20–22 hours per day. Their removability ensures you can maintain your regular oral hygiene routine and enjoy your favourite foods without restrictions.
Regular Monitoring
We'll schedule follow-up appointments every 4–6 weeks to monitor your progress and provide your next sets of aligners. Upon completing your treatment, you'll receive retainers to help maintain your beautiful new smile.

How do I clean my Spark Aligners?
You can clean your aligners using lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush. Avoid using hot water, as it may warp the plastic. There are also special cleaning solutions available for clear aligners if you prefer.
What should I do if I lose an aligner?
If you lose an aligner, please get in touch with us as soon as possible. We’ll advise whether you should move on to the next set or go back to your previous aligner while we arrange a replacement.
