Spark™ Clear Aligners are manufactured by Ormco™ — a global leader in innovative orthodontic products with 60 years of expertise, R&D, and high manufacturing standards. Ormco has helped doctors treat more than 20 million patients in more than 140 countries. Spark’s proprietary ApproverTM software is designed to give doctors more control and flexibility, while Spark’s advanced aligner technology and TruGEN™ material enable more sustained force retention* and better surface contact with the tooth*. Spark Aligners are also clearer, more comfortable, and stain less than the leading aligner brand*, and have smoother, polished edges for enhanced patient comfort.* These features may explain why 100% of patients recently surveyed said they would recommend Spark Aligners to a friend.* Force retention and surface contact

Spark’s TruGEN material provides more sustained force retention* and improved contact surface compared with the leading aligner brand.* When touching the same tooth, Spark Aligners have 19% better surface contact than the leading aligner brand.* Finishing, refinements, and attachment bonding

TruGEN XR™, Spark’s new, more rigid material, is optimally designed for finishing and refinements.* TruGEN XR is equivalent to the finishing wire option of traditional braces* and is available for all refinements at no additional charge. According to study results published in Applied Sciences MDPI, the Spark attachment template was 3X more effective than the leading competitor’s attachment template in preventing attachment bonding failures:** • 87.5% of Spark Aligners patients had NO attachment bonding failures versus 27.5% on patients using the leading aligner competitor.** The study concluded that the Spark template is more effective in transferring attachments to the tooth surface than the leading aligner brand’s template, resulting in less time and effort in removal and clean-up.** Powerful ApproverTM software for better control

Spark’s Approver software is designed to give orthodontists start-to-finish control for more efficient and effective treatment planning. CBCT integration lets orthodontists import and visualise CBCT patient data,* request multiple treatment plans and compare them,* while posterior Bite Turbos can be added to address complex cases.* Orthodontists may select their preferred scanner, remote monitoring and virtual consult services.
