Clear aligners — also known as invisible aligners — are modern orthodontic appliances that straighten misaligned or crooked teeth. They are custom-made for each patient and are virtually invisible and removable, making them a convenient and flexible alternative to traditional braces.
Clear aligners can effectively treat a range of dental issues, such as crowded teeth, overbites, underbites, gaps between teeth, and even open bites. Clear aligners can also be used during phase 1 orthodontic treatment in children between 6 and 10 years old to create space for developing permanent teeth.
Clear aligners are a smart choice for your long-term health and confidence. These aligners are designed to be comfortable and sleek, reducing irritation during treatment.
Advantages of clear aligners include:
The Invisalign system is an exceptional orthodontic treatment option that utilizes a series of clear, custom-made plastic trays to straighten your teeth without using noticeable wires or brackets. These aligners are suitable for many conditions and ideal for individuals looking for a more aesthetic treatment option.
Spark clear aligners are constructed with TruGEN™, the most advanced aligner material available, to ensure maximum efficiency through higher sustained force retention. Spark aligners’ polished, scalloped edges provide a superior treatment experience. These aligners also boast a clearer appearance and have minimal stains compared to leading aligner materials, giving you added confidence during your treatment.
Clear aligner treatment requires a significant commitment to wearing the aligners for at least 20-22 hours a day for the treatment to be effective. If you are not willing to make this commitment, traditional braces may be a better option for you.

It’s never too late to get the smile you’ve always wanted. At Mary Cay Koen Orthodontics, we understand that obtaining a beautiful smile can do more than boost your confidence. Many adults believe that it’s too late for orthodontic treatment, but Invisalign clear aligners can change that.
With recent technological advancements, most adult malocclusions can now be treated, and Spark and Invisalign can also address issues with missing, chipped, or worn teeth.
Invisalign Teen is an innovative orthodontic treatment that is more comfortable and subtle than other treatments. Instead of using traditional metal braces with brackets and wires, Invisalign uses lightweight, clear plastic aligners to align your teen’s smile gently. Both Invisalign and Spark have adult, teen, and child interceptive treatments available.
The trays are clear, making it barely noticeable that they are wearing braces. They can also remove the trays at any time, allowing them to continue eating the foods they enjoy the most. Maintaining dental hygiene is also much easier, so your teen will have an easier time brushing and flossing as there are no wires and brackets to work around.
