Spark orthodontic aligners are modern day invisible braces designed with latest and innovative technology for straightening teeth and improving smile without traditional metal braces. Clear aligner treatment involves a digital model of teeth being created by using advanced 3D computer imaging (popularly known as 3D scan).
Our Orthodontist specialist Dr. Roshanak Boustan (Dr. Roshy) can create a customised plan for the entire treatment even before the treatment starts and give you a sneak peak of how the end result will look like.
Then, you will be given customised orthodontic aligners to change on weekly or fortnightly basis as directed by Dr. Roshy until the treatment is completed and desired smile is achieved. These orthodontic aligners will start moving your teeth gradually into the desired position and you will be able to notice the progress.
Clear Aligners, popularly known as invisible braces will help you to:
- Brushing and flossing teeth on regular basis without any obstruction
- Enjoy meals and snacks as you can remove orthodontic aligners when you eat
- Hide the treatment instead of smile as orthodontic aligners are barely noticeable when you are wearing them
- Wear orthodontic aligners for approximately 20 hours per day
In the recent times, Spark Aligners have become one of the most popular methods of orthodontic treatment as it has become so much easier to improve the smile by using aligners without even feeling that you are in treatment.

Clear Aligners Sydney - FAQ
What is the difference between clear aligners and Invisalign treatment?
Clear aligners are a popular orthodontic treatment that can be used to correct a wide range of dental issues. Unlike the traditional orthodontic treatment, braces, which use metal wires and brackets to realign teeth, clear orthodontic aligners are made from clear plastic and are virtually invisible when worn.
Invisalign is one of the most well-known brands of clear aligners, but there are many others on the market as well. While clear aligners are an effective treatment for misaligned teeth, they are not suitable for everyone. Invisalign treatment, in particular, is often more expensive than traditional braces and may not be covered by dental insurance.
At Martin Place Orthodontics, we use Spark Aligners for all our clear aligner treatments. Both Invisalign and Spark Aligners use patented clear material to create orthodontic aligners that are strong, durable, and invisible.
However, the two materials used are not exactly the same. Invisalign uses SmartTrack, while Spark Aligners use TruGEN™. Though they may appear similar at first glance, these two materials have some key differences. SmartTrack is a bit more flexible than TruGEN™, which means it may be more comfortable for some users. However, TruGEN™ is more resistant to staining, so your aligners will stay looking clear and new for longer.
As with any orthodontic treatment, it is important to consult with a qualified dentist or orthodontist to determine if clear aligners treatment is the right choice for you. Make an appointment with us today to start the process of getting clear aligners in Sydney.
Are Spark clear aligners really invisible when worn?
Spark Clear Aligners are designed to be nearly invisible when worn. This is accomplished through a combination of high-quality materials and precision manufacturing. The clear aligners themselves are made from a nearly invisible plastic that is virtually undetectable when worn. In addition, the orthodontic aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth, making them even less noticeable. As a result, you can feel confident that Spark Clear Aligners will not draw attention to your smile.
Will my clear orthodontic aligners affect my ability to speak?
Clear aligners are designed to be thin and snug-fitting, making them much more comfortable to wear than traditional metal braces. And because the orthodontic aligners are removable, patients can eat whatever they want and brush and floss their teeth with ease.
One study found that 93% of patients do not experience any significant differences in their speech while wearing their orthodontic aligners, making it a great option for adults who are concerned about how braces might affect their professional image.
Can I eat or drink while wearing my clear aligners?
While you can’t eat with your invisible aligners (you can drink water), one of the benefits of choosing the clear aligners treatment is that there are no restrictions on the food you can eat during the treatment because they are removable! So, go ahead and enjoy all your favorite foods without worry. Just be sure to brush your teeth afterwards and put your orthodontic aligners back in.
Do clear aligners hurt?
Orthodontic aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable plastic that doesn’t rub against your gums or cheeks the way metal braces can. You might experience some slight discomfort when you first start wearing them, as your teeth begin to adjust to their new positions.
But overall, orthodontic aligners are a much more comfortable option than traditional braces. And since they’re completely removable, you can take them out for eating, brushing, and flossing – no need to worry about food getting stuck in brackets and wires!
What are Nighttime Clear Aligners?
They’re basically clear aligner trays that you only wear while you are asleep. And since you’re only wearing them for 10+ hours a day (versus 22+ hours for traditional aligners), they move your teeth slower. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Depending on your orthodontic needs, your dentist may recommend Nighttime Clear Aligners over regular invisible aligners. And while they may take longer to work, they’re often more comfortable and easier to adjust to than traditional braces.
