CLEAR ALIGNERS IN ST. LOUIS
Clear aligners, printed in our own 3D lab.
Spark Clear Aligners, custom-made onsite at Varble Orthodontics. More precise fit, faster turnaround, and an honest answer on whether aligners are actually right for your smile.
WHAT MAKES OUR ALIGNERS DIFFERENT
Spark Clear Aligners, designed and printed by us.
Most practices send your impressions off to a lab, wait weeks for aligners to arrive, and hope the fit is right. We print Spark Aligners onsite in our own 3D lab. Faster, more precise, and entirely under Dr. Varble’s control.
SPARK vs INVISALIGN
Why We Chose Spark Over Invisalign
Invisalign is the brand most people know. Spark is the system we trust to deliver the VO Smile. Here’s the honest difference.
Spark Clear Aligners
By Ormco
The newer aligner system, designed by orthodontists for orthodontists. Sharper edges, better trim lines, and a material that holds force more consistently throughout each wear cycle.
- Printed in our own 3D lab
- More precise edge trim against the gum line
- Stains less than competing materials
- Designed around the VO Smile philosophy
- Dr. Varble personally designs every sequence
Invisalign
By Align Technology
The most recognized clear aligner brand. Excellent system with a long track record. We respect it. We just think Spark gives Dr. Varble more control over the final result, especially the micro-esthetics that define a VO Smile.
- Most well-known aligner brand
- Strong track record across millions of cases
- Outsourced lab production
- Standard trim that may sit higher on the gum
- Not what we use at VO
THE VO ALIGNERS EXPERIENCE
Treatment that fits into your life without rearranging it.
Clear aligners are appealing because they’re discreet. The way we deliver them makes them appealing for an entirely different reason: they don’t disrupt your schedule.
