Am I Too Old for Clear Aligners? Why Adults in Marlborough are Choosing Spark™

Yes. With dentist supervision and consistent wear (about 22 hours/day), adults can correct crowding, spacing, and many bite issues using Spark™ clear aligners—discreetly and comfortably.

Debunking the Myth

Orthodontic treatment is not age‑limited. Healthy gums and bone are the key factors, not your birth year.

Why Adults Choose Spark in MetroWest

  • Discretion: TruGEN™ material is highly clear for meetings and social events.
  • Convenience: Fewer emergencies compared to brackets and wires; easy to remove for photos or meals.
  • Comfort: Smooth trimlines and gentle forces suit busy I‑495 workdays.

Health Benefits Beyond Aesthetics

  • Easier brushing and flossing reduce gum inflammation and cavity risk.
  • Improved bite function can reduce uneven wear and strain.

Treatment Journey and Expectations

We begin with a comprehensive exam and digital scans, then outline a tailored plan. Compliance (22 hours/day) drives efficiency and outcomes.
