Featured Answer: Is Spark Better for Adults?
For most adults in Marlborough, Spark™ Clear Aligners are the superior choice. They offer a nearly invisible appearance, removability for client meetings, and greater comfort than metal brackets. Braces are typically reserved for the most complex surgical orthodontic cases.
The Professional's Dilemma
Many adults want to straighten their teeth but worry that metal braces will impact their professional image. Whether you're presenting in boardrooms in Boston or meeting clients in MetroWest, your smile is part of your first impression.
Spark™ Aligners: Designed for Your Lifestyle
- Virtually Invisible: Made with TruGEN™ material, Spark aligners are clearer and less reflective than other brands.
- No Food Restrictions: Remove them to enjoy coffee, wine, or a business lunch without worry.
- Fewer Office Visits: Digital monitoring means fewer interruptions to your workday compared to monthly wire adjustments.
When Are Braces Necessary?
While Spark can treat mild to complex cases (including crossbites and spacing), traditional braces may still be recommended for:
- Severe jaw misalignments requiring surgical intervention.
- Teeth that are rotated (twisted) beyond a certain degree.
- Patients who know they won't wear aligners for the required 22 hours/day.
Comfort Comparison
- Spark: Hand-trimmed, polished edges prevent gum irritation.
- Braces: Metal brackets can cause sores on cheeks and lips, especially in the first few weeks.
Cost and Time
For many adult cases, Spark treatment times are comparable to or even faster than braces due to the efficient force delivery of TruGEN™ material.
