Invisalign and Spark Clear Aligners at Hume Dental Group
If you’re looking for a modern, subtle solution to straighten your smile without the look or feel of traditional braces, clear aligners might be the perfect fit. At Hume Dental Group, we offer clear aligner treatments designed to gently move teeth into their ideal positions while keeping your smile natural-looking throughout the process.
These custom-made, removable aligners are a popular choice for teens and adults alike who prefer a comfortable and nearly invisible alternative to braces. Since they can be taken out during meals or special occasions, clear aligners offer flexibility that suits your lifestyle.
At Hume Dental Group, we offer both Invisalign and Spark Aligners to ensure our patients receive the most advanced and comfortable clear-aligner treatment available. Invisalign is the world-leading system known for its proven track record, while Spark Aligners deliver exceptional clarity, stain resistance, and precision through their innovative TruGEN™ material. By providing both systems, we tailor every treatment to the patient’s needs—whether they prioritise aesthetics, comfort, speed, or complex tooth movements. Our doctors will guide you in choosing the aligner system that delivers the best results for your unique smile.
How Clear Aligners Work
Clear aligner treatment uses a progressive series of trays that gradually guide your teeth into alignment. Each set of aligners is designed for a specific stage of movement and is typically worn for about two weeks before advancing to the next set.
The aligners are made from smooth, transparent plastic that fits snugly over your teeth — with no wires, brackets or metal parts. Depending on the complexity of your case, treatment can last anywhere from several months to over a year. Your dentist at Hume Dental Group will outline your full treatment timeline during your initial consultation.
Benefits of Clear Aligners
Thanks to advanced digital planning, we can show you a preview of your expected results before treatment even begins. Along with that, clear aligners offer a wide range of advantages:
Discreet and Nearly Invisible
Clear aligners are barely noticeable when worn, making them a great option if you want to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to the process.
Removable for Convenience
Whether you’re eating, drinking, brushing, or heading to an event, you can take out your aligners anytime. This makes everyday activities easier and keeps your oral hygiene routine simple.
Comfortable to Wear
With no wires or metal components, clear aligners reduce irritation to your cheeks and gums. There are also no painful adjustments like with traditional braces.
Safe and Gentle
Because they're smooth and removable, clear aligners are less likely to cause cuts, sores, or oral hygiene challenges. This helps reduce your risk of decay and gum issues during treatment.
Are Clear Aligners Right for You?
Clear aligners are ideal for mild to moderate cases of:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Small gaps
- Mild bite issues such as overbite, underbite or crossbite
For more complex alignment needs or severe bite corrections, traditional braces may still be the better option. At Hume Dental Group, we’ll assess your teeth and bite and recommend the most effective treatment plan based on your unique needs and goals.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
To get the best results, you’ll need to wear your clear aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, only removing them to eat, drink, brush, or floss. You'll check in with your dentist every 4–6 weeks so we can track your progress and provide your next sets of aligners.
Your treatment plan will be customised from start to finish, ensuring your teeth move safely and efficiently into the desired position.
Aftercare and Retainers
Once your treatment is complete, retainers will help keep your smile in place. Teeth have a natural tendency to shift, so wearing a custom retainer — especially at night — is often recommended. Our team will provide tailored aftercare instructions and help you maintain your beautifully aligned smile long-term.
