SPARK® CLEAR ALIGNERS 

Spark Clear Aligners offer a range of benefits that make them an excellent choice for clear aligner therapy. Made with TruGEN™, a proprietary material, these aligners are designed to be exceptionally clear and comfortable. 

This means they are less noticeable when worn, allowing patients to maintain their confidence and smile freely throughout their treatment. Additionally, the aligners are custom-made to fit each patient’s teeth precisely, ensuring efficient and effective tooth movement. The advanced design of Spark Aligners also makes them less prone to staining, helping patients maintain a clean and polished look. 

SURGICAL ORTHODONTICS 

Surgical orthodontics, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a specialized treatment used to correct severe jaw irregularities and misalignments that cannot be addressed with braces or aligners alone. This procedure involves a combination of orthodontic treatment and jaw surgery to improve the function and appearance of the teeth and jaws. It is typically recommended for adults whose jaw growth is complete and who have significant bite issues, facial imbalances, or obstructive sleep apnea. Surgical orthodontics can enhance not only your smile but also your overall oral health and quality of life. Dr. Smith and Dr. Christensen work closely with a dedicated team of oral surgeons to plan and coordinate this interdisciplinary treatment plan.
