Invisalign & Spark Clear Aligners

ORTO MEDICO at DENT MEDICO offers Invisalign and Spark clear aligner treatment for adults and adolescents under the care of MDDr. Diana Filipová, Ph.D., MBA — a certified orthodontist with Invisalign Master Class training. Custom aligners are fabricated in the USA from digital scans of the patient's teeth and worn in sequence to progressively move teeth to the planned position. The nearly invisible trays are removable for eating and cleaning, making them a popular choice for professionals and patients seeking discreet orthodontic correction.

Clear aligner therapy at ORTO MEDICO combines the clinical rigour of a PhD-qualified orthodontist with two of the leading aligner systems available globally — Invisalign and Spark — to deliver predictable, discreet tooth movement for a wide range of malocclusion cases. **Invisalign** is the world's most widely used clear aligner system, with over 15 million patients treated. Each set of custom trays is fabricated from SmartTrack thermoplastic material using Align Technology's ClinCheck 3D software, which models the entire treatment trajectory before the first aligner is even made. MDDr. Filipová uses ClinCheck planning software at the Invisalign Master Class-certified level, enabling precise case setup for both straightforward and more complex alignment cases. Aligners are typically changed every 1–2 weeks. **Spark** (Ormco) is a newer clear aligner system gaining strong clinical adoption as an alternative to Invisalign. Spark trays are made from TruGEN crystal-clear material that maintains greater clarity throughout treatment and exerts consistent, controlled forces. Spark is offered as the standard full-treatment option at ORTO MEDICO at 96,900 CZK for comprehensive cases. **Treatment process:** The first step is a consultation (900–1,200 CZK, 15 minutes) where MDDr. Filipová assesses case suitability and outlines a treatment approach. If aligners are suitable, digital intraoral scans replace traditional impressions and are used to generate a 3D treatment simulation. The patient reviews the planned outcome digitally before committing to treatment. Once approved, aligners are manufactured and delivered to the clinic in sets. Periodic check-up appointments (typically every 6–8 weeks) allow the orthodontist to monitor progress and deliver the next batch of aligners. **Suitable cases:** Mild spacing, mild to moderate crowding, Class I and mild Class II malocclusions, open bite, and selected anterior crossbite cases. More complex skeletal discrepancies or severe crowding are better served by fixed appliances, which are also available at ORTO MEDICO. **Advantages over fixed braces:** Nearly invisible appearance during treatment; no dietary restrictions (aligners are removed for eating); simplified oral hygiene (aligners removed for brushing and flossing); no emergency appointments for broken brackets; smoother experience with no wire discomfort. **Financing:** Treatment packages above 25,000 CZK are eligible for instalment financing up to 48 months, making the investment manageable across the treatment period. **Clinic context:** ORTO MEDICO shares facilities with DENT MEDICO at the Sokolovská 685/136f complex in Praha 8-Invalidovna, providing access to the full dental group's resources including dental hygiene, implantology, and restorative dentistry within the same building.
