"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 Gage1. "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.

Key Features & Benefits of BiteSync Class II Corrector System:
- Effective: The SideBar and Occlusion Guide are tested for durability and work together to achieve a more desirable bite profile.
- Efficient: Mandibular advancement can occur simultaneously with dental tooth movement within the same aligner stages.
- Simple: No additional Class II appliance is needed. Select the Spark BiteSync option within the Spark DTX Portal, design, and approve the case.
- Flexible: Can be used in both mixed and permanent dentition. The SideBar or Occlusion Guide can be used together or separately, depending on treatment goals.
"We are excited to bring Spark Retainers to our doctors so they can maintain their patients' new smiles with a retainer designed to be long-lasting and more comfortable. We have advanced our digital efficiencies, giving clinical flexibility and premium product performance our customers have come to expect from Ormco," said Jay Issa, Vice President Portfolio Management, Ormco. "In addition, with the launch of BiteSync, we can now effectively treat Class II malocclusions eliminating the need for a separate appliance or software by utilizing two modes of Class II correction built into the Spark software and Spark Aligners. This differentiates us from other Class II technology seen from competitive aligner companies," he continued.
