Spark Junior Introduced for Early Orthodontic Care

---

Ormco Corporation, a leading provider of innovative orthodontic solutions for over 60 years, recently introduced Spark Junior, the latest addition to its Spark Clear Aligner portfolio. Designed specifically for younger patients, Spark Junior offers a new two-phase option for delivering customized, continuous orthodontic care—from early childhood through adulthood—beginning with Phase One featuring BiteSync, Spark Aligner’s Class II malocclusion solution for mandibular advancement.

“Spark Junior was developed as a two-phase treatment specifically tailored to support the growth and development of younger patients,” said Jay Issa, vice president, portfolio management and global marketing, Ormco. “This innovative solution provides a comprehensive, efficient, and patient-friendly orthodontic experience that benefits both patients and practices. Each phase is available independently, giving doctors the flexibility to treat patients without committing to both phases upfront. Additionally, there is no time restriction between phases, allowing clinicians to proceed at their own pace, a benefit that the top competitor does not offer.”

Key Features & Benefits of Spark Junior:

Two-phase treatment: Adapted for the growth of young patients.

Phase One: For patients under 13, includes unlimited stages of aligners and refinements over 1.5 years.1

Pause feature: There is no time restriction between phases, allowing doctors to proceed at their own pace.

Phase Two: Seamless transition to Spark Advanced for teen and young adult years, offering 3.5 years of comprehensive care from the start of Phase Two.

• BiteSync offered with Spark Junior: Integrated within Spark Junior fees and can be used at any time during Spark Junior treatment to address Class II malocclusion.
• Comfortable and transparent: Made with Spark’s TruGEN material for a discreet and comfortable fit.
• Tailored functionalities: Meets the specific needs of young patients.
• Practice-friendly: Designed for seamless integration into orthodontic practices.
• Expedited design turnaround (1 business day) and manufacturing (5 business days).

“With Spark Junior, I can now bring the same precision and control I rely on with Spark Aligners to my younger patients,” said Dr. Mark Coreil.2 “What sets Spark Junior apart is the ability to treat in two phases, enabling effective early intervention and a seamless transition into teen or adult treatment while offering significant cost savings. Unlike other aligner systems, Spark Junior allows for a pause in treatment without penalizing families. If a child’s teeth take longer to come in, there’s no additional cost for continuing treatment. It’s a smarter, more flexible solution that delivers the Spark smile my patients and their families truly value.”
