Dr Amanda with straight smile Solutions straight smilesolutions.com and we're excited to announce
that we are now directly working with spark clear aligners that means it is a new service that we
offer now I don't work for spark or ormco I've matter of fact I've never even talked to anyone
on their team I reached out to them many times through Linkedin letters to their company no no
response but nothing negative to say either I mean it's just radio silence so whatever
um as with any clear liner system in order for us to directly offer direct access we have to see
enough outcomes that doesn't mean treatment plants it means treatment plans followed by
outcomes and being able to finish the cases so that we feel confident that it is a good clear
aligner system for us to recommend and that means we are actually recommending spark and
again I don't work for onco or spark never taking a snap for them never even talked to
them so if I'm giving you my thumbs up it's got to be pretty decent and there's a lot of clear
aligner Brands out there and most of them to me are if you're looking at me right now you'd see
my thumbs down just garbage there's a lot of garbage out there look flashy you know
but they can't deliver they can't deliver the outcomes if we can't deliver the outcomes in
one less than one refinement or no refinements if it's not predictable assuming we've had a
good accountability loop with our patients for compliance then I'm not going to recommend that
system so right now I'm only offering direct access for four systems okay subject to change
um first one of course is Invisalign second one is clearcorrect strawman third one is the
White Label Company I partner with which is called Global if you want to learn more about them they
are offering aligners depending on your volume as low as 17 per aligner with a 90 setup fee that's
actually drops the more volume you do that is in the United States though so reach out to me if
you have a way to print or manufacture your own um they can also do your treatment plans um and
in addition now number four is Spark all the other ones were happy to work with you but we're going
to be doing the a la carte sessions or you can be a VIP at concierge member and we'll be doing Zoom
to go over your plans um there are several that I just can't recommend and I'm not gonna say I'm
here just because I'm tired of paying lawyers so um if it didn't get mentioned proceed with
caution okay that's pretty much all I have to say only thing I don't like about spark is that it's
not web-based and you actually have to download software and I hate downloading softwares on my
computer because it slows it down and I just don't love it and it just makes the whole process more
clunky and then I can't do it on my phone anytime I can't do a treatment plan on my phone this is
a problem I love that I can do Invisalign on my phone I love that I can do my Global white label
on my phone clear correct still like I can't do on my phone but it's not software at least
um it's web-based so it makes it really easy to log in on the go on an iPad or whatever
um I do like the spark does allow you to use a Mac so for that reason I was okay
with it because I only work with Max um a little clunky a lot clunky with the cbct functionality
um I still haven't figured it out maybe it's a Mac thing I know it does exist and I've been
showing how to do it it's just not working for me um on this lines it's way way Slicker but you
know kudos to them that they have the cvct feature and at least they're moving in that direction so
um as far as I know spark offers three products this is what I'm familiar with there's a 10
there's a 20 and there's an unlimited as far as I know they don't limit the movements you know
um and they don't try to constrict you like you asked for something and they go no you can't have
that many aligners I don't like that as soon as you do that you're out I don't work with
your with your company anymore because there's a reason why I'm asking for so many aligners that
I'm asking for and if I'm purchasing unlimited I expect you to let me have that flexibility
I'm not gonna say I'm asking for 300 or 200 or even 100 aligners but something reasonable
anything under 100 is reasonable and if I asked for something and you don't give it to me um I'm
gonna block your system so anyways hopefully that was helpful yes we're using spark yes you
can sign up if you're using spark yes we'll be glad to support you all right take care
