Which Clear Aligner Is Right for You?

Invisalign vs. Spark
Which Clear Aligner Is Right for You?

As we celebrate World Smile Day, maybe you’ve been thinking about your own smile and are pondering the different teeth straightening options which don’t involve braces.

Here at Circus Dental we offer two types of the popular clear aligners - Invisalign and Spark.

At first glance, they might seem pretty similar - but there are a few key differences that could make one a better fit for you…

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are custom-made, nearly invisible trays that gently move your teeth into place. As your teeth change and move towards the smile you’re aiming for, you will change to a different tray custom made for you. 

Unlike braces, you can take them out to eat, brush, and floss - so there are no food restrictions and it is much easier to keep your teeth and the trays clean.

Both Invisalign and Spark use this same concept, but each has its own special features.


Invisalign

If you’ve heard of clear aligners, chances are it was Invisalign. They have been around since the late ’90s and have helped millions of people get straighter smiles.

Why people like Invisalign:

  • Proven results – With over 20 years of experience, Invisalign has a strong track record.
  • SmartTrack material – The trays are made from a unique plastic, designed to fit snugly and comfortably.
  • Handles tough cases – Invisalign can manage everything from simple crowding to more complex bite issues.
  • See your results in advance – Invisalign’s digital software allows you to preview how your smile will look when you’ve finished your treatment.

Invisalign is often the go-to for people who want something trusted and backed by years of success stories.


Spark Aligners

Spark aligners are newer to the teeth straightening scene, but are quickly becoming a favourite among orthodontists and patients.

Why people like Spark:

  • Extra clear trays – Many patients say Spark aligners are even less noticeable than Invisalign.
  • Resistant to stains – Their TruGEN material helps keep aligners looking fresh and clear.
  • Super comfortable – The smooth edges make them gentle on your gums and cheeks.

Spark is a great choice if you’re looking for the most discreet aligners possible and want to keep that crystal-clear look.


Which Teeth Straightening Treatment Should I Pick?

Both Invisalign and Spark aligners can give you brilliant results. 

The “right” one often comes down to your personal priorities and your orthodontist’s recommendation.

  • If you want something with a long track record and advanced planning tools - Invisalign might be the way to go.
  • If you care most about ultra-clear aligners that resist staining - Spark could be your match.
  • And no matter which you choose, the most important part is having a skilled orthodontist guiding your treatment.

Whether you go with Invisalign or Spark, you’ll be choosing a modern, comfortable, and discreet way to straighten your teeth. Both options let you smile confidently throughout your treatment - and both can deliver the smile you’ve always wanted.
