The Problem: Wanting Straighter Teeth Without the “Braces Look”
For many people across Central Alberta — Bentley, Sylvan Lake, Rimbey, Lacombe, Eckville, Ponoka, and everywhere in between — the desire for straighter teeth is strong. The problem? No one wants to look like they’ve suddenly time-traveled back to junior high with metal brackets and wires. Adults worry about their appearance at work or social events. Teens worry about school photos, sports, and, well… everything teenagers worry about.
So they turn to Google with questions like:
“How can I straighten my teeth without braces?”
“Are clear aligners right for adults?”
“Invisalign vs Spark — which is better?”
But the real challenge is understanding which modern orthodontic option fits their lifestyle, comfort level, and smile goals. That’s exactly where Bentley Family Dentistry steps in — with two excellent clear aligner choices: Invisalign and Spark Clear Aligners.
The Solution: Two Clear Aligner Systems Designed for Real People
Clear aligners straighten teeth using a series of removable, nearly invisible trays. They’re comfortable, discreet, and perfect for people who want orthodontic results without the look of orthodontics. You can eat your favourite foods, smile confidently, and clean your teeth without navigating around brackets.
Bentley Family Dentistry offers two powerful clear aligner options — each with its own advantages. Think of it like choosing between two great trucks: both will get you where you need to go, but one may fit your driving style better.
Invisalign: The Familiar Name That Patients Trust
Invisalign is the aligner system almost everyone has heard of — and for good reason. It has helped millions of patients worldwide improve their smiles through predictable, comfortable tooth movement.
Patients choose Invisalign because:
- The aligners are nearly invisible
- They’re comfortable and flexible
- The treatment planning software is highly advanced
- You can remove the trays for eating, brushing, and (yes) steak nights
- It works for mild, moderate, and many complex bite issues
Why Invisalign might be right for you:
If you appreciate a well-known brand with a long history of proven results, Invisalign is an excellent choice. It’s reliable, versatile, and designed to integrate smoothly into everyday life.
Spark Clear Aligners: Ultra-Clear, Ultra-Comfortable Technology
Spark is quickly becoming a patient favourite — especially for those who want their aligners to be as discreet as possible. Spark trays use a crystal-clear, smooth material that many patients say feels almost invisible both visually and physically.
Patients choose Spark because:
- Spark aligners are even clearer than Invisalign
- They resist staining
- The polished edges feel exceptionally smooth
- They’re highly effective for detailed tooth movement
- They’re ideal for adults and teens wanting maximum discretion
Why Spark might be right for you:
If you want the clearest possible aligner option — the kind people barely notice even in close conversation — Spark is a strong contender.
Choosing Between Invisalign and Spark: Which Is Better?
Good news: you can’t make a wrong choice. Both systems can straighten teeth, improve bite function, enhance oral health, and boost confidence.
Both Invisalign and Spark offer:
- Removable trays
- Clear, discreet treatment
- Predictable straightening
- Comfortable materials
- Options for adults and teens
- Great results for Central Alberta patients
The “better” option depends on:
- The complexity of your tooth movement
- Your lifestyle
- Your preference for clarity and comfort
- Your treatment timeline
- Your budget
During your consultation, we’ll take digital scans — no messy impressions — and show you a preview of how your smile will shift over time. You’ll see the path toward your future smile before treatment even begins.
