New Offerings Provide Further Clinical Flexibility and Overall Simplicity to Workflow Within the Spark Software
Ormco Corporation, a leading provider of innovative orthodontic solutions for over 60 years, is excited to announce the official launch of Spark™ Retainers and BiteSync Class II Corrector in the United States. Developed for doctors and patients, Spark Retainers bring a new level of comfort, durability, and clinical flexibility to orthodontic retainers whether treating with Spark™ Clear Aligners, Ormco™ Digital Bonding, or fixed brackets. With the debut of BiteSync, Spark now offers an innovative solution for mandibular advancement for Class II patients in growing stage and for adults, consisting of the Occlusion Guide for mandibular advancement and the SideBar for maxillary distalization, which can be used combined or separate. The BiteSync system allows a flexible workflow customized for each patient’s needs and added simplicity within the Spark software. The official unveiling will take place at AAO (American Association of Orthodontists) in Philadelphia, PA, April 25-27, 2025 (Booth #1015).
“Through Spark technology, I can extend the same premium patient experience from initial treatment through retention. The clinical options with Spark Retainers help me maintain the beautiful smile outcomes I achieve with Spark Clear Aligners, Ormco Digital Bonding, or Damon Ultima™ braces,” said Dr. Colby Gage. “My Spark Aligner patients continue to love the clarity, comfort, and less staining they enjoyed while in treatment.”
“BiteSync has corrected Class II cases quickly and efficiently in my practice. I’m getting bite correction in less than 6 months2. It has worked great for my teen and adult patients3,” said Dr. Jennifer Messenger.
