Spark® in Chandler, AZ
Spark® clear aligners are a simple and effective way to straighten your teeth and achieve a better-looking smile.
Clear Braces With World-Class Results
Are you struggling with crooked teeth, significant gaps, or bite issues, but don’t you love the sound of traditional metal braces? Spark® clear aligners in Chandler, AZ, are an excellent solution for straightening your teeth discreetly. These custom-made, virtually invisible aligners are designed to tackle severe spacing and alignment issues efficiently, often in less time than conventional braces would require. Beyond that—they’re barely noticeable and entirely removable, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain oral hygiene without the complications braces might introduce.
Crafted from models of your current tooth alignment and your desired outcome, Spark® aligners are replaced every two weeks, gently nudging your teeth toward their ideal position. This process takes approximately two years, depending on the adjustment needed. Interested in exploring whether Spark® is the right fit for you?

How does the Spark® process work?
The Spark® straightforward aligner process includes a few steps for straightening teeth:
- Consultation: We’ll have an initial appointment to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for Spark® aligners.
- Custom Treatment Plan: Digital scans of your mouth are taken to create a 3D model for planning your treatment, including the movements of your teeth and the duration.
- Production of Aligners: Your custom aligners are manufactured from clear, BPA-free plastic, designed to be virtually invisible and fit snugly over your teeth.
- Treatment Phase: You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, gradually shifting your teeth into their final positions, with regular check-ups to monitor progress.
- Final Stages and Retention: After completing the aligners, you’ll wear a retainer to maintain your new smile.
The Spark® process offers the convenience of removable aligners, allowing for easy eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing without traditional braces’ typical restrictions or challenges.

Spark® vs. braces - what's the difference?
There are several differences between Spark® and braces that you should be aware of if you’re considering teeth straightening options. Spark® is a newer option that provides a more efficient, less painful way to straighten teeth. Here are some of the primary differences:
- Spark® uses clear transparent aligners, while braces use wires and brackets.
- You can easily remove Spark® aligners anytime, while a professional can only remove braces.
- You can eat whatever you like and maintain regular oral care practices. On the other hand, braces require special maintenance and care and restrict what you can safely eat.
- Spark® aligners are safer than braces because they don’t present any injury risks, while braces can cause cuts and other injuries.
- Spark® aligners are nearly invisible, making them very discreet while braces can be very noticeable.

Who can use Spark®?
Spark® clear aligners are suited for individuals with mild to moderate dental misalignments, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Ideal candidates should have good oral health, be committed to wearing the aligners for the recommended 22 hours per day, and attend regular dental check-ups. While Spark® is versatile and appeals to adults and teens seeking a less visible orthodontic solution, those with very complex dental issues might require traditional braces or alternative treatments. A consultation with Johansen Dental will help you know if Spark® aligners are the right choice for your orthodontic needs—schedule today!
