Spark® Clear Aligners at Mast Dental
A straighter smile doesn't have to mean metal brackets and wires. Spark® Clear Aligners offer a modern, discreet alternative to traditional braces using a series of custom-made, virtually invisible trays to gradually shift your teeth into alignment.
Spark® aligners are crafted from high-clarity, medical-grade plastic that is more transparent than many other aligner systems, making them even harder to detect while wearing them. They're removable for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, and they require fewer office visits than traditional braces.
At Mast Dental in Wilmington, NC, Dr. Mast provides Spark® aligner treatment with the same precision and personalized attention brought to every service. Every treatment plan begins with a thorough evaluation and a customized plan built around your teeth, timeline, and goals.

What Can Spark® Clear Aligners Fix?
Spark® aligners are effective for a wide range of orthodontic concerns in both teens and adults, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps and spacing between teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
- Mildly rotated teeth
- Teeth that have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment
For mild to moderate cases, clear aligners can deliver results comparable to traditional braces often in a shorter timeframe. For more complex bite issues, Dr. Mast will advise honestly whether aligners are appropriate or whether a referral to an orthodontist would better serve your needs.
Why Patients Choose Spark® Aligners
Virtually Invisible
Spark® aligners are made from TruGEN™ material — one of the clearest aligner materials available. Most people around you simply won't notice you're wearing them.
Removable
Unlike braces, aligners can be taken out for meals, snacks, and oral hygiene. There are no food restrictions, no awkward cleaning around brackets, and no discomfort from wires catching on your lips or cheeks.
Comfortable
The smooth, custom-fitted trays are designed for all-day comfort. No sharp edges, no poking wires, no emergency visits for broken brackets.
Better Oral Hygiene During Treatment
Because aligners are removable, brushing and flossing remain completely normal throughout your treatment — reducing the risk of cavities and gum problems that sometimes arise with fixed braces.
Fewer Office Visits
Spark® aligner treatment typically requires fewer check-in appointments than traditional braces, making it a more convenient option for patients with busy schedules.
Faster Treatment for Mild Cases
For patients with primarily crooked or crowded teeth, clear aligners can often achieve results up to 50% faster than traditional braces.
Improved Confidence — During and After
Most patients report feeling more confident during treatment because the aligners are so discreet. And the confidence that comes with a straighter smile after treatment is, of course, the whole point.
