Spark Aligners are a next-generation clear aligner system built on TruGEN™ material — a proprietary polymer developed by Ormco, the same company behind the renowned Damon bracket system. TruGEN was engineered specifically for clear aligner therapy (invisible orthodontic treatment), delivering the highest optical clarity of any aligner material on the market.
Unlike standard aligner plastics that can yellow or cloud within days, TruGEN -- a polycarbonate-urethane polymer -- resists staining throughout your entire wear cycle. The material is BPA-free, phthalate-free, and FDA-cleared — meeting Zipper Orthodontics' strict commitment to non-toxic orthodontic treatment. Every Spark tray is biocompatible and safe for patients of all ages in Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, and across Palm Beach County.
Spark corrects orthodontic malocclusion (misaligned teeth) including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. The aligners feature a scalloped edge design that follows the contour of your gumline, reducing irritation and improving comfort compared to straight-cut competitors. Each set of trays applies gentle, calibrated force to progressively guide your teeth into their ideal position.
Dr. Brandon Zipper — a board-certified orthodontist, AAO member, and 3D digital scanning specialist — evaluates every Spark case personally. Using the iTero Element digital scanner and CBCT (cone-beam computed tomography) 3D imaging when clinically indicated, Dr. Zipper creates a precise digital treatment plan that maps your tooth movement from start to finish, ensuring predictable results for patients across South Florida.
Spark was designed from the ground up to address the limitations of earlier clear aligner systems. Here is what sets Spark apart from Invisalign, Angel Aligners, and other brands.
TruGEN™ offers superior optical clarity — your aligners are virtually undetectable, even up close. Independent studies confirm Spark is clearer than Invisalign's SmartTrack.
TruGEN resists discoloration from coffee, tea, wine, and everyday foods better than any other aligner plastic. Your trays stay clear throughout each wear cycle.
Spark's scalloped edge design follows your natural gumline, reducing soft tissue irritation. No straight-cut edges digging into your cheeks or gums.
Clinical studies demonstrate Spark delivers comparable or better outcomes to Invisalign. Backed by Ormco's 60+ years of orthodontic innovation.
Your Spark treatment at Zipper Orthodontics follows a straightforward four-step process, from free consultation to your final smile.
Dr. Zipper evaluates your bite, takes a digital 3D scan of your teeth, and determines if Spark is the best option for your case.
Using your 3D scan, Dr. Zipper maps every tooth movement digitally. You preview your projected results before treatment begins.
Wear each set of TruGEN™ trays for 1–2 weeks. Remove them only to eat and brush. Check in every 6–8 weeks for monitoring.
Once treatment is complete, transition to retainers to maintain your results. Enjoy a confident, aligned smile.

Spark's TruGEN™ material was specifically engineered by Ormco for maximum optical clarity. Independent testing shows TruGEN transmits more light than competing aligner plastics like Invisalign's SmartTrack, making Spark virtually invisible on your teeth. TruGEN also resists yellowing and staining throughout each wear cycle, so your trays look brand new from day one to day fourteen.
Most Spark cases at Zipper Orthodontics take between 6 and 18 months. Mild crowding or spacing issues can resolve in as few as 6 months. Moderate cases typically take 12 to 14 months, and more complex orthodontic malocclusion (misaligned teeth) may require up to 18 months. Dr. Zipper provides a personalized timeline during your free consultation.
Yes. Clinical studies show Spark delivers comparable or better results to Invisalign across a wide range of orthodontic cases. TruGEN™ material maintains consistent force delivery throughout each wear cycle, which means more precise tooth movement. Dr. Zipper will always recommend whichever system — Spark, Invisalign, or Angel — gives you the best outcome.
Absolutely. Spark Aligners are made from TruGEN™ material that is completely BPA-free, phthalate-free, and biocompatible. The material is FDA-cleared for orthodontic use.
