What it is
What are Spark Aligners?
Spark™ Clear Aligners are a clear aligner system made by Ormco. A series of thin, removable trays, made for your teeth from a digital scan, moves your teeth gradually into a planned position.
Spark aligners are made from Ormco’s TruGEN™ material, with a more rigid version, TruGEN™ XR, used for finishing stages. The maker designed the material for clarity and comfort, and the trays have polished, scalloped edges.
Spark™ is one of the premium aligner brands we offer. At our practice, your Spark treatment is planned, reviewed and completed by our dentists in Chafford Hundred.

Is it for you?
Who Spark Aligners can suit
A great fit if you…
- need more comprehensive treatment, such as reducing a deep overbite, a large overjet (top front teeth that stick out) or an anterior crossbite, where a front tooth sits behind the lower teeth
- have crowding, gaps or a bite your dentist thinks aligners can help with
- have healthy teeth and gums, or are happy to get them healthy first
- can wear aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day and take them out to eat
- would like to see a digital plan and a written fee before you commit
- are happy to come to the practice for reviews, typically every 4 to 6 weeks
We’d suggest something else if…
- you only want a small change on one arch: Smile Tweak at £995 may suit you better
- you’d like a lower all-inclusive fee: Chafford Aligners is from £1,995 with retainers and a home whitening kit included
- you have active gum disease or decay, because we treat that first
- you’d rather not wear something for most of the day
- your bite or jaw needs specialist orthodontic care, in which case we’ll explain your options and can refer you

Your journey
What treatment looks like
Free consultation and scan
You meet one of our dentists for a free consultation with a GDC-registered dentist (a £20 holding deposit secures your slot, and it’s taken off your treatment or refunded). We check your teeth and gums, talk about what you’d like to change and take a digital 3D scan instead of putty impressions.
Your plan
If Spark treatment could suit you, your dentist plans the tooth movement digitally and shows you the plan, the likely number of aligners and your fee in writing before you decide anything.
Your aligners
Your aligners are made for your teeth. You wear them 20 to 22 hours a day, take them out to eat and drink anything other than water, and change to the next set as your dentist directs, typically every 1 to 2 weeks.
Reviews
We see you at the practice typically every 4 to 6 weeks to check your progress and hand over your next aligners. If your teeth need a little extra movement, your dentist explains the options.
Retainer
When treatment ends you wear a retainer to help hold your teeth in their new position. Your dentist explains how and when to wear it, and we’re here for aftercare questions.
