Derek Damon Orthodontics Uses Spark Clear Aligners
Spark aligners are a clear removable tray that provides tooth movement. It is esthetic, and can barely be seen by peers. Also, it does not have metal attachments and wires. Thus, brushing and flossing is easy.
It is recommended to remove clear aligners when eating or drinking, and when brushing your teeth.
Aligners work by providing a small amount of tooth movement with each aligner tray. You will be given several trays (number depending on your customized treatment plan), and each tray will be worn for two weeks each.
If you qualify, You will visit us a couple times per year so we can monitor your treatment.

The Clear Aligners Treatment Process
Your First Consultation
At your initial consultation, we will discuss your orthodontic needs and evaluate whether Clear Aligners treatment is right for you.
Your Custom Treatment Plan
We will use a digital scanning system to create fast, precise 3D digital images of your teeth. Then we will map out a precise treatment plan, including the exact movements of your teeth and how long your treatment will be. You’ll even get to see how your teeth will move and preview your new smile.
Your Clear Aligners
Your custom-made aligners will be made of Spark Clear Aligner’s proprietary material. They’re virtually invisible, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them during your teeth straightening.
Wear your clear aligners 20 hours a day for the best results, and take them out only to eat, brush, and floss.
Your Progress
As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will gently and gradually shift into place. We may recommend that you begin wearing a new set of aligners every week and we will monitor that progress remotely using the Dental Monitoring virtual software.
Taking Care Of Your New Smile
When your treatment is complete, ask us about our retainer. All our retainers are custom-made using the same state-of-the-art technology as clear aligners.
