Why Choose An Orthodontic Specialist?
Orthodontists are specially trained dentists who take on several extra years of training in order to “straighten teeth.” All orthodontists are dentists, but only 6% of dentists are orthodontists. Look for the seal of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO). Only orthodontic specialists can belong to the AAO. Another sign of a great specialist is they can show you a before and after of a similar case that they have previously helped. We know all mouths are different, but in the 15,000+ lives and smiles we have ignited, we can show you a similar case to your specific mouth.
Advanced Technology
Orthodontics today differs a great deal from years past. At Spark, we take pride in serving our patients with cutting-edge technology. Computer-designed braces and wires dramatically increase the precision with which we realign teeth and shorten treatment time. We offer traditional braces as well as clear braces, which offer a cosmetically pleasing alternative, while Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen® offers a special treatment system just for teens that is entirely brace-free. At Spark Orthodontics, we strive to offer a variety of treatment options in addition to the most advanced technology to provide our patients with a superior and efficient orthodontic experience from start to finish.

At what age should I schedule my child’s first orthodontic visit?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children see an orthodontist at the age of seven. By this age, children’s teeth have developed to the point that we can see even small problems that may be associated with such things as emerging teeth or jaw growth. For most seven-year-olds, their visit with the orthodontist is nothing more than an exam. However, there are a small number of children, around 5 to 10 percent, who can benefit from what we refer to as “interceptive orthodontics.” There are potentially dangerous problems that we find and address, including:
- Jaw alignment problems
- Impacted teeth
- Chipped or fractured teeth
- Gum tissue recession
By addressing these issues above, we also help to alleviate social issues, where children may be the victim of teasing or bullying simply because of the appearance of their teeth. A child’s teeth and smile can have a major impact on their well-being as they grow. With a beautiful smile, they are more likely to be confident and social, as well as gain a host of health benefits. Your orthodontist will find out if your child is a candidate for braces or Invisalign during their complimentary Spark Smile Assessment.
