Spark Clear Aligners

Spark Clear Aligners are a nearly invisible, removable alternative to braces, offered at Maryville Family Orthodontics in Maryville, TN. Made with advanced TruGEN material and custom hand-trimmed for comfort, Spark aligners straighten teeth discreetly for teens and adults, usually with fewer office visits than traditional braces.

If you want a straighter smile without metal brackets and wires, clear aligners may be the answer, and in Maryville, board-certified orthodontist Dr. Monica Ginart treats with Spark. Spark is one of the most discreet and comfortable clear aligner systems available today, designed to fit easily into work, school, and everyday life. Because your treatment is planned and guided by an orthodontic specialist rather than a mail-order kit, you get expert oversight from your first scan to your final smile.

What Are Spark Clear Aligners?

Spark Clear Aligners are a series of clear, custom-made trays that gently move your teeth into place. You wear each set for about one to two weeks, then move to the next in the series. Because they are removable, you take them out to eat, brush, and floss, so there are no food restrictions and your daily routine stays simple. Each aligner is individually hand-trimmed along the gumline for a smooth, comfortable fit.

How Spark Treatment Works

Your treatment begins with a comfortable digital scan using our Dexis 3D scanner, so there are no messy molds. From that scan, Dr. Ginart designs a personalized plan and a series of aligners made just for you.

• Each aligner set is worn for about one to two weeks
• Aligners are worn 20 to 22 hours a day for the best results
• Your teeth shift gradually and predictably over time
• Progress is checked at short, convenient appointments

Many patients begin noticing visible improvements within just a few months.

Spark vs. Invisalign: How Our Clear Aligners Compare

Invisalign is the most familiar clear aligner name, so many people use it the way they say “tissue” for any facial tissue. It helps to know it is not the only option. Maryville Family Orthodontics treats with Spark, a next-generation clear aligner system, and here is how Spark stands out: its TruGEN material is engineered for steady, effective tooth movement, strong clarity, and stain resistance, and every aligner is hand-trimmed for comfort along the gumline.

The most important factor in any clear aligner treatment, though, is not the brand on the tray. It is the doctor behind it. Because a board-certified orthodontist plans and monitors your Spark treatment, your care is guided by years of specialized training in how teeth and jaws move, not by an app alone. That is the difference that protects your results.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Spark?

Spark is a great fit for teens and adults with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite concerns who want a discreet option and are ready to wear their aligners consistently. It is also popular for shorter, cosmetic cases, such as polishing your smile in the few months before a wedding or a big event. Some complex bite problems are still treated best with braces, and Dr. Ginart will tell you honestly at your consultation which option will give you the best outcome.

Cost and Insurance

Spark treatment is covered by our flexible, no-interest in-house payment plans, with low or no down payment and monthly options to fit your budget. Many dental insurance plans include an orthodontic benefit that applies to clear aligners, and we accept HSA and FSA funds.
