Sparkle Align Invisible Aligners are clear, custom-made trays that gently straighten your teeth without the need for metal braces. They provide a subtle and comfortable way to achieve a perfect smile.
The aligners apply controlled pressure to your teeth, gradually shifting them into their desired positions. You'll wear a series of aligners, with each one moving your teeth slightly closer to your ideal alignment.
Yes! Sparkle Aligners are crafted from smooth, BPA-free plastic and are custom-fitted to your teeth, ensuring they are comfortable to wear at all times.

It depends on the treatment plan purchased.

For the Day-Time Sparkle, you should wear your Sparkle Aligners for 20-22 hours per day only removing them for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.

For the Night-Time Sparkle, you should wear your Sparkle Aligners consecutively for 8-10 hours at night while you sleep.

You must remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water to avoid staining and potential damage to the aligners.

Yes, there might be some lisping at first, but it should go away after a few days once your mouth gets used to the aligners.
Yes, you can still receive aligner treatment even if you have missing teeth. The great news is that we can place a pontic in the space of the missing tooth, and you will need a colored coating on your aligner to cover the gap, ensuring that there are no visible spaces during your treatment.

Our aligners are designed with smooth edges and a custom fit, so they usually don’t cause pain. You might experience some mild discomfort initially, but this typically subsides quickly. Overall, their comfort makes them a preferred choice.

While it's not unsafe to use aligners during pregnancy, it's important to note that pregnancy can cause changes in your teeth, possibly requiring new impressions and aligners. Some individuals may also experience added discomfort during the treatment. For these reasons, we recommend waiting until after pregnancy to begin aligner treatment.

Straightening your teeth with aligners can enhance your dental health by making it easier to maintain proper oral hygiene. Studies have linked poor oral health to systemic issues such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Therefore, improving your dental hygiene through teeth alignment may contribute to better overall health and well-being in the long term.

It's not recommended to wear aligners during high-impact sports, as they may cause injury if your mouth takes a hit. To keep your smile protected, we suggest switching to a mouthguard for these activities. SparkleAlign offers custom mouthguards that are designed for comfort and safety. Choose your favorite color and get your Custom Mouth Guard delivered right to your door!

Once we receive your impressions, our team of specialists will design a custom treatment plan tailored to your smile. Each plan is reviewed by a licensed, US-trained orthodontist to ensure the best results.

Your primary contact throughout your aligner treatment will be your designated Sparkle Crew Member.

As you complete your treatment, it’s important to wear your retainers for 20-22 hours a day during the first six months. After that, you can transition to wearing them only at night, as advised by our specialists. Failing to do so may cause your teeth to gradually shift back to their original position.

After your final aligner, you'll receive one set of retainers with your package. You can order additional retainers for travel or as a replacement if yours get lost.

Aligners exert specific pressure on your teeth, so while you may not experience pain, you might feel some mild discomfort at the start of the treatment. However, this usually subsides within a couple of days as you adjust.
If the impression tray doesn't fit, please contact us immediately, and our care team will send you a replacement. Before taking your impressions, try placing an empty tray over your teeth to ensure it fits comfortably in your mouth. The tray should neither be too loose nor too tight, and it shouldn’t press into your gums. Also, ensure that your back molars fit properly into the tray.
Once you purchase the impression kit, it will be shipped to you within 3-4 business days.
Smile Projection is a 3D treatment plan created by our technical team that shows the 'before and after' positions of your teeth. This projection is sent to you for your approval. If you’re satisfied with the proposed plan, you can proceed with the aligners. If not, you can request modifications before we begin fabricating your aligners.
It’s common for some individuals to struggle with fitting the aligners over the back of their teeth initially. It may take a bit of practice to adjust, especially when you’re new to wearing them.

After we receive your teeth impressions, it typically takes 12-14 business days to generate your Smile Projection.
