Clear Aligner Orthodontics (Spark)

Clear aligner treatment straightens the teeth using a series of custom, near-invisible removable trays instead of fixed braces. NB Dental offers the Spark aligner system, planned digitally so you can see the intended outcome before starting. Aligners are popular with adults and older teenagers who want a discreet, removable way to correct crowding, spacing and bite issues. Treatment begins with an orthodontic consultation and planning, and finishes with retainers to keep the teeth in their new position.

Clear aligners are a modern alternative to traditional braces that move the teeth gradually using a sequence of transparent, custom-made trays. Each set is worn for a couple of weeks before progressing to the next, with every aligner shifting the teeth a small, planned amount toward the final position. Because they are removable and almost invisible, aligners let you eat normally and clean your teeth as usual, and avoid the metalwork of fixed braces — which is why they are especially popular with adults and older teenagers. NB Dental provides the Spark aligner system, a clear-aligner brand known for its discreet, comfortable trays, and the treatment is planned digitally so the projected movements and end result can be visualised before you commit. Treatment starts with an orthodontic consultation and detailed planning, often supported by the clinic's in-house imaging and scans, to confirm that aligners are suitable for your case — they work well for many crowding, spacing and bite problems, though some complex situations are better treated with fixed appliances. Success depends heavily on wearing the aligners as instructed, usually around twenty to twenty-two hours a day, removing them only to eat and clean. Periodic reviews track progress and deliver new trays. The clinic also offers its own NBaligner appliance as an option and, separately, fixed and hybrid orthodontic appliances for cases that need them. Once the teeth are in their new alignment, retainers are essential to hold the result, as teeth naturally tend to drift back over time. The orthodontist will explain the expected length of treatment, what it can and cannot achieve, and the retention plan during planning.
