About Spark Aligners

Home » Clear Aligners » About Spark Aligners

At Sherman & Balhoff Orthodontics, we are committed to providing our patients with the latest and most effective orthodontic treatments available. Among our state-of-the-art offerings are Spark clear aligners — a revolutionary alternative for those seeking a discreet, comfortable, and efficient way to achieve a beautifully aligned smile.

What Are Spark Clear Aligners?

Spark clear aligners are an advanced orthodontic treatment designed to straighten teeth with precision and comfort. Made from TruGEN™, a proprietary material known for its clarity and stain resistance, Spark aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without compromising aesthetics.

How Do Spark Aligners Work?

The journey with Spark aligners begins with a comprehensive digital scan of your teeth. Using this 3D model, our orthodontists create a customized treatment plan that maps out the precise movements needed to align your teeth. You will receive a series of custom-made aligners that fit snugly over your teeth. Each set is worn for about one to two weeks before moving on to the next in the series, gradually guiding your teeth into their desired positions.

Benefits of Spark Clear Aligners

  • Enhanced Clarity — Spark aligners are crafted from TruGEN™ material, which offers superior transparency compared to other clear aligner brands. This makes them less noticeable, allowing you to maintain your natural smile throughout your treatment.
  • Stain Resistance — The unique material of Spark aligners resists staining better than other aligners, ensuring they remain clear and discreet for the duration of your treatment.
  • Comfort and Fit — Designed with patient comfort in mind, Spark aligners feature polished edges for a smooth fit against your gums and cheeks, reducing irritation and making them comfortable to wear.
  • Effectiveness — Spark aligners are engineered to provide optimal force distribution, enabling precise and efficient tooth movements. This means you can achieve your desired results more predictably and often in less time.
  • Customization — Each set of Spark aligners is tailored to your specific orthodontic needs, ensuring a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique dental issues.

Rhylee S.
I was nervous about braces but after my experience at this office and the enthusiastic, comforting, and caring staff I am so excited for my future appointments. The process to get them on was very quick and painless. They provided me with everything I needed to care for my braces and I am so glad I chose their office!
Laquelia S.
Everyone treated very professional and kind. The process was very quick. My daughter loves her new look.
Clair B.
The amount of questions I asked was unreal. The office manager sat and answered every single one with a smile on her face. I wouldn't go anywhere else. They were amazing
Nina S.
I had such a great experience with the team at SB Orthodontics in Addis! The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and greets you with a smile. The orthodontists are truly amazing, and every visit was thorough and comfortable. Dr. Stephen Jr. was incredibly kind and never forgot a face. Thank you, SB Orthodontics, for helping me smile with confidence!
jeannine R.

Kayla C.
I am so grateful to the wonderful people working at Sherman & Balhoff. My journey to a new smile only lasted a little over a year and I am so happy with my smile today! 😊
Katarina S.
They take their time to explain every step of the process, answers all questions thoroughly, and makes both kids and parents feel completely comfortable. You can tell they truly care about their patients and take pride in their work. The results have been amazing, and we couldn’t be happier with the progress so far.
Emily G.
We are always well taken care of at Sherman and Balhoff! Friendly faces all around, and the sweetest Ms. Ashley at the front desk!
Carly D.
After having my braces off for only 7 months from a previous orthodontist, I switched to S&B after not being happy with my results and incomplete treatment. One of the best decisions I've made. Great with time management, quick and easy appointments, friendly staff. Definitely recommend.
Allison K.
They are amazing with everyone. My daughter just had braces put on in May and they have been wonderful with questions, etc.
Dana G.
I used Sherman and Balhoff myself as an adult and now my daughter is a patient there. They are the best and go above and beyond for their patients. Dr. Sherman even came back after closing because my daughter was having an issue with her bite after getting her braces put on. He was so very nice and professional. I would recommend them to anyone.
Spunky E.
