Spark_TM Aligners

Spark_TM aligners gradually shift teeth using a series of custom-made clear trays that apply gentle, consistent force. These aligners are prescribed and overseen by your orthodontist—in this case, Dr Saf Johar ensures that each step of your journey is specifically tailored and professionally monitored.

• Custom-made for your smile.
• Clear and virtually invisible.
• Easy to remove for eating, brushing and flossing.
• Average treatment time: around 12 months.
• Best suited for mild to moderate orthodontic concerns.
• Worn 20–22 hours a day.
• Stain-resistant material.

Spark_TM> is part of the clear aligner family, offering an effective alternative to Invisalign®.

Yes, after taking a 3D scan of your teeth and facial photos, Dr Johar collaborates with Spark_TM’s Approver software to create a detailed 3D simulation of your treatment. You’ll be able to preview how your teeth will look before you even begin.

To achieve the best results, Spark_TM aligners should be worn for about 22 hours per day—this includes when you’re sleeping. You only remove them for eating, drinking (anything other than cool water), brushing, or flossing.

You’ll typically switch to a new set of aligners every 1–2 weeks, following the personalised schedule that Dr Johar sets based on your treatment plan.

Visit frequency depends on how complex your case is. Spark_TM usually involves fewer appointments than traditional braces, but reviews every 4–10 weeks help ensure everything is progressing as planned.

If an aligner goes missing or gets damaged, contact Dr Johar immediately at the Nuvo Dental and Implant Centre. He will advise whether to move to your next set, order a replacement, or adjust your plan—ensuring a smooth continuation of your treatment.

Spark_TM aligners are versatile and can treat a wide range of malocclusions, including crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite, and more. Dr Johar will assess your specific needs to determine Spark_TM’s suitability for your case.

Spark_TM aligners and Invisalign® share many similarities. They differ only in the following ways:

• Spark_TM aligners are cheaper (for like-for-like cases). This is mainly because they offer fewer options and, unlike Invisalign®, they did not pioneer the mechanics behind clear aligners.
• Spark_TM aligners are more stain-resistant than Invisalign®. As a newer provider, Spark_TM aligners have been developed with highly stain-resistant plastic.

Spark_TM treatment is delivered exclusively through trained dental professionals. The British Orthodontic Society emphasises that the provider’s knowledge and skills are far more important than the appliance used.

Dr Johar performs a full diagnostic workup, scans, photos, examinations, and oversees your treatment in person for both safety and effectiveness, unlike DIY or direct-to-consumer aligner kits.
