Transform Your Smile with Milwaukee's Top Orthodontists

Children might need braces for various reasons, such as crooked teeth, overcrowded teeth, gaps between teeth, or problems with their bite (like an overbite or underbite). Getting braces can improve their chewing, speaking, and overall oral health, in addition to boosting their confidence.

Adult orthodontic treatment can differ from that of younger patients primarily due to the lack of jaw growth in adults. This means that some jaw discrepancies may require surgical intervention. Adults are also more likely to have experienced gum or bone loss, which can affect treatment plans. Close coordination among dental specialists is often necessary to ensure comprehensive care. Additionally, adults may need to address existing dental issues, such as periodontal disease, before starting orthodontic treatmen

At Griffin Orthodontics, the Spark Clear Aligner process offers patients an effective and discreet option for straightening teeth. Here’s an overview of how the process typically works:

1. Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with a consultation at Griffin Orthodontics. During this visit, the orthodontist will examine your smile and determine if Spark Clear Aligners are suitable for your specific case.

2. Digital Scanning: If you’re a good candidate for Spark aligners, the orthodontist will take digital scans of your teeth. This eliminates the need for messy traditional impressions and allows for precise treatment planning.

3. Customized Treatment Plan: Using Spark’s proprietary 3D software, the orthodontist will create a personalized treatment plan. This software allows you to see a simulation of your anticipated smile before treatment even begins.

4. Aligner Fabrication: Once the treatment plan is finalized, your custom Spark Clear Aligners will be manufactured.

5. Starting Treatment: You’ll return to Griffin Orthodontics to receive your first set of aligners. The orthodontist will ensure they fit properly, explain the treatment process, and answer any questions you may have.

6. Wearing Your Aligners: You’ll wear each set of aligners for about 1-2 weeks, for at least 22 hours per day. The aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush, and floss normally[1][2].

7. Progress Checks: You’ll have periodic appointments at Griffin Orthodontics to monitor your progress and receive new sets of aligners.

Key benefits of Spark Clear Aligners at Griffin Orthodontics include:

– Superior clarity and stain resistance compared to other aligner brands
– Comfortable fit with smooth edges, minimizing irritation
– Ability to remove aligners for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene
– Potentially faster results than traditional braces or other aligner systems
– Custom-designed for your unique smile by experienced orthodontists

By choosing Spark Clear Aligners at Griffin Orthodontics, you’re opting for a modern, effective, and nearly invisible way to achieve a straighter smile under the guidance of trusted professionals.

Once the braces are removed, the journey isn’t quite over! To keep the newly straightened teeth from shifting back, your child will need to wear a retainer. This can be either a removable one worn mostly at night or a fixed one bonded behind the teeth. Retainers are crucial for maintaining that beautiful new smile for years to come.

Spark Clear Aligners are very similar in concept to Invisalign, but many patients and providers note some advantages. Spark aligners are known for being even more transparent (less noticeable) and resistant to staining, so they stay clear over the months of wear. They are designed with polished, smooth edges for comfort on your gums. Just like other top aligner brands, Spark efficiently straightens teeth in stages, and at Griffin Orthodontics you’ll receive regular check-ups to ensure your Spark treatment stays on track. In short, Spark Clear Aligners offer the same convenient, removable teeth straightening as Invisalign, with enhancements in clarity and comfort that patients appreciate.
