Aligners & Fast Braces

Invisalign vs. Spark Clear Aligners

Both aligner brands use clear plastic but differ in materials: one uses SmartTrack with “buttons” for better grip, while the other uses gentler, more comfortable TruGen. The second brand’s aligners, made of medical-grade polyurethane resin with hand-trimmed edges, are more comfortable than the first, which can cause some gum discomfort. The second brand is available only through licensed dental professionals, while the first is more widely accessible. The first brand is generally more expensive due to its features and financing options, while the second is more affordable with fewer features. The second brand’s aligners are also more stain-resistant and transparent, making them less visible than the first.

How Do Aligners Work?

Consultation
During your initial consultation at Ora Dent, our experienced orthodontic team will evaluate your teeth and determine if aligners or Invisalign are the best option for you.
Impressions
If aligners or Invisalign is the right choice for your individual needs, we will take impressions of your teeth to create a customized treatment plan.
Fitting
Once your aligners or Invisalign trays are ready, we will fit them to your teeth and provide instructions on how to wear and care for them.
Follow-up
You will need to come in for follow-up appointments every few weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned and to receive new trays as needed.

Proper Care for Your Aligners

Avoid using toothpaste, hot water, or mouthwash, as these can damage the trays. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and lukewarm water to gently brush the trays inside and out. Soak your trays once a day using specialized cleaning products, such as Invisalign cleaning crystals or denture cleaner. Alternatively, mix equal parts warm water and hydrogen peroxide and soak your trays in the solution for 30 minutes before rinsing them off. Always follow your orthodontist’s specific instructions for cleaning and caring for your aligners.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I absolutely love Dr. Mehrinfar and the amazing staff at this dental practice. It's been two years since my daughter and I had our braces removed, and the results are absolutely stunning. We are often asked about our braces journey, and I cannot think of a single drawback to share. It was the best investment for my daughter's smile and mine as well. I absolutely adore this practice for the incredible impact they've had on my family.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an extraordinary transformation at ORA-Dent, where Dr. Mehrinfar and his incredible team, led by the exceptional assistant Dailyn, made my journey to a dazzling smile truly remarkable.

Dr. Mehrinfar's expertise and commitment to excellence in orthodontics were evident from our first consultation. He took the time to thoroughly explain the benefits of Fast Braces, addressing any concerns I had and ensuring I felt comfortable with the treatment plan. His passion for creating beautiful smiles was evident, instilling confidence in me that I had chosen the right place for my orthodontic journey.

Throughout the process, Dr. Mehrinfar and Dailyn worked seamlessly together, showcasing a level of teamwork that undoubtedly contributes to the success of ORA-Dent. Dailyn's kindness and attention to detail were exceptional, and her support added an extra layer of comfort to each appointment. It was evident that both Dr. Mehrinfar and Dailyn genuinely cared about my well-being and the success of my treatment.

The efficiency of Fast Braces exceeded my expectations, and the results were noticeable sooner than I anticipated. Within four months I had the perfect smile!

Beyond the technical expertise, what truly sets ORA-Dent apart is the genuine care and friendliness of the entire staff. The receptionists were always accommodating, scheduling appointments that fit my busy schedule, and the atmosphere of the clinic was consistently positive. It's evident that everyone at ORA-Dent shares a commitment to providing exceptional patient care.

Gracias al doctor también por siempre hacer todo por mi dientes y siempre dedicar tiempo en mi tratamiento y hacer todo por tener una buena sonrisa y buenos y bonitos dientes.
