Clear alternatives to metal braces
Invisalign and Spark clear aligners offer great movement without the traditional brackets and wires of braces.
Discreet treatment for common dental problems
Clear aligners are barely visible on the teeth compared to traditional braces. Clear braces are a discreet option for more severe cases.
Same movement power as braces
Clear aligners provide the same moving power for typical cases as traditional metal braces or other braces.
Custom-designed trays for efficient treatment
Each clear aligner is customized to your teeth, and provides efficient, targeted movement.

Benefits of clear aligners
Not everyone feels comfortable with traditional metal braces. That's why Appel Orthodontics offers clear aligners as an alternative orthodontic treatment.
Clear aligners are custom-molded to your teeth, making them difficult to see. That way, you can smile with confidence throughout your treatment. Clear aligners take a lot of commitment on the patient's part to be at their most efficient. If you think you or your child is ready for clear aligners, schedule a virtual consult with Appel Orthodontics!
Invisalign vs. Spark clear aligners
We want our patients to have the best treatment we can provide. That's why we offer Spark aligners along with Invisalign.
Spark clear aligners are made with TruGEN, a clear material that's made to be more comfortable for patients. Spark aligners are created with smooth edges, instead of scalloped ones, which also makes them more comfortable. Yet they provide the same moving power as other clear aligners.

Let’s talk about clear aligners
We can evaluate your child to see if clear aligners are best for them, but clear aligners aren't for everyone. They must be worn at least 22 hours a day to be fully effective. Because aligners are removable, it's tough for many people to stick with this 22 hour a day commitment, which reduces the effectiveness of treatment and prolongs treatment time. Clear aligners are rarely a good fit for more severe dental cases.
Invisalign Teen is now a part of Invisalign. Invisalign and Spark aligners can be a good fit for some teens but there are unique challenges. For example, clear aligners must be changed out every week, which is tough for teens with busy schedules. Aligners also require diligent compliance from a young patient to be successful. Our treatment coordinators are here to discuss all of your options and help you choose the orthodontic appliance that is best for YOU!
Spark clear aligners are a great treatment alternative to traditional metal braces or clear braces. Spark aligners are made to be more comfortable than other clear aligners, with smooth edges and material designed to move teeth with gentle yet efficient pressure.
Some dental insurance policies do cover part of the cost of clear aligner treatment. When you visit us at Appel Orthodontics, our insurance coordinator will work with you and your insurance provider to determine how much coverage you might have for treatment with clear aligners.
