Spark Aligners at Mondzorg Amstelveen – The modern invisible bracket<\/h1>\n

At Mondzorg Amstelveen<\/strong>, we offer modern Spark Aligners<\/strong>: translucent,
\ncomfortable aligners that straighten teeth in a predictable and virtually invisible way.
\nSpark is known for its high transparency, excellent fit and efficient tooth movement – ideal for both
\nsmall and extensive corrections.<\/p>\n

\n

How does a treatment with Spark Aligners work?<\/h2>\n

1. Intake & 3D scan<\/h3>\n

During the intake, we take an accurate 3D scan of your teeth. With this, we assess whether Spark Aligners are suitable
\nand what shifts are possible. <\/p>\n

Please note that<\/strong> if you decide not to continue after the intake, there is a cost of \u20ac170<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

2. Digital treatment planning<\/h3>\n

With advanced software, we create an accurate digital schedule. You can see in advance exactly how your teeth will change step by step
\n. <\/p>\n

3. Attachments & IPR (if necessary).<\/h3>\n

Sometimes attachments are needed: small, tooth-colored cubes that are placed temporarily on the teeth to better perform certain
\ndisplacements. These may be on a few teeth, but sometimes on almost all of them. They are visible up close
\nand are completely removed after treatment. <\/p>\n

It may also be necessary to perform IPR (InterProximal Reduction)<\/strong>. This involves removing a small amount of enamel<\/x>(max. 0.5 mm) between two teeth to create extra space. This is virtually painless, but may cause temporary sensitivity.
\nThis usually disappears quickly, especially if you temporarily use toothpaste for sensitive teeth. <\/p>\n

4. Production of the aligners<\/h3>\n

After your treatment plan is approved, your Spark Aligners will be custom manufactured. Each aligner shifts your teeth slightly toward the final result. <\/p>\n

5. Wearing the aligners<\/h3>\n

The aligners must be worn 22 hours a day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Drinking water is allowed with the aligners in.<\/li>\n
  • With all other drinks and food, aligners should be taken off.<\/li>\n
  • Brush after every meal to prevent discoloration and cavities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    6. Changing aligners<\/h3>\n

    In most cases, you change to a new aligner every week, unless your orthodontist advises otherwise.<\/p>\n

    7. Monitoring appointments<\/h3>\n

    Every 5 to 8 weeks<\/strong> you come in for check-ups. This way we track your progress and make timely adjustments. <\/p>\n

    8. Refinement<\/h3>\n

    After you complete the first set of aligners, we will review together whether additional aligners are needed for optimal results.
    \nA refinement may consist of a few additional aligners or a full complementary set.<\/p>\n

    9. Retention – retaining your new smile<\/h3>\n

    After treatment, we make sure your teeth stay nicely in place. You get from us: <\/p>\n

      \n
    • A fixed splint (if possible)<\/li>\n
    • A removable retention bracket (included)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n

      Cost of Spark Aligners<\/h2>\n

      The cost depends on the complexity of the treatment and the number of aligners needed.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Light track:<\/strong> \u20ac1,500 – \u20ac2,500<\/li>\n
      • Medium trajectory:<\/strong> \u20ac2,500 – \u20ac3,500<\/li>\n
      • Extended trajectory:<\/strong> \u20ac3,500 – \u20ac5,500<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        We are happy to help you find out if your supplementary insurance covers (part of) orthodontics.<\/p>\n
