What Makes Michael Richards Orthodontics Stand Out

Michael Richards Orthodontics has earned a reputation for delivering spectacular smiles through superior service and cutting-edge technology. Named Best Orthodontist in the 2023 Best of Utah — Body & Mind by City Weekly Magazine, Dr. Richards and his award-winning team are dedicated to combining clinical excellence with a warm, friendly, and community-focused environment.

Forget the cold, clinical feel of traditional orthodontics—this office is full of laughter, encouragement, and personalized attention. From your very first consultation, you’ll notice a difference: attentive care, honest communication, and a genuine commitment to your smile goals. Bilingual services in English and Spanish ensure inclusivity for every patient.

And when it comes to treatment options, patients can count on the best the industry has to offer—including the advanced Spark Clear Aligners system.

Spark Clear Aligners: Discreet, Comfortable, and Powerful

At Michael Richards Orthodontics, Spark aligners are a premier alternative to traditional metal braces. Made from TruGEN™—a proprietary, crystal-clear material—Spark aligners provide an exceptional blend of clarity, comfort, and durability. They’re virtually invisible, highly stain-resistant, and custom-fit to your unique smile using cutting-edge 3D imaging.

Why Patients Choose Spark:

Virtually Invisible: Spark aligners are clearer than many other brands, making them ideal for those who want subtle treatment.
Stain-Resistant: Thanks to advanced materials, they stay fresh and transparent longer.
Custom Comfort: The smooth edges are gentle on gums and lips, making them easy to wear throughout the day.
Removable Convenience: Eat what you want, brush and floss as normal, and enjoy fewer dietary or lifestyle restrictions.
Effective for All Ages: From mild crowding to more complex bite issues, Spark is designed to handle a wide range of orthodontic needs.

Clear Aligners for Kids: Gentle, BPA-Free, and Designed for Growth

Early orthodontic treatment doesn’t have to mean clunky brackets or difficult routines. Spark aligners for kids offer a child-friendly way to correct misalignments with minimal disruption to their lives.

Made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, these aligners are designed with growing mouths in mind. Kids wear a series of aligners for 1–2 weeks at a time, gently guiding their teeth into better alignment. The removable design allows them to eat their favorite foods and maintain excellent oral hygiene—no floss threaders required!

Parents love the comfort and safety. Kids love the freedom and confidence.

Spark for Teens: Designed to Fit Busy, Social Lives

For teenagers navigating school, sports, music, and social media, Spark aligners offer the confidence of a nearly invisible treatment option.

Teens appreciate the discretion of clear aligners, especially when compared to metal braces. But Spark goes a step further, offering a comfortable, precise fit with the flexibility that keeps up with teen life. Whether they’re giving a presentation in class, taking selfies, or heading to a soccer match, Spark aligners won’t get in the way.

Key benefits include:

No food restrictions (just pop them out before eating!)
Easier brushing and flossing
Custom-made for each teen’s unique needs
Fewer emergency visits—no brackets or wires to break

At Michael Richards Orthodontics, teens receive ongoing support, encouragement, and expert guidance to keep them motivated and on track throughout their treatment.

Spark for Adults: Clear Confidence Without Compromise

For adults who postponed orthodontic treatment or are seeking to refine their smile later in life, Spark aligners provide a sophisticated, flexible option.

Whether you’re presenting in the boardroom or meeting friends for dinner, Spark aligners fit seamlessly into your routine. With a personalized treatment plan designed by Dr. Richards and his team, each aligner incrementally shifts your teeth while remaining nearly invisible to others.

Unlike traditional braces, there’s no need to change your diet or adopt complicated cleaning tools. You simply remove the aligners for meals and oral care, then pop them back in.

Busy professionals and parents alike appreciate the minimal office visits and faster check-ins that Spark allows, giving you more time to focus on what matters most.

How Spark Aligners Work

Treatment begins with a digital scan of your mouth. Using advanced 3D imaging, Michael Richards Orthodontics creates a customized plan tailored to your needs. You’ll receive a series of aligners—each slightly different—to wear in sequence, gradually shifting your teeth into their desired position.

You wear each set for about 20–22 hours a day and switch aligners every one to two weeks, depending on your specific plan. Periodic check-ins ensure everything is progressing smoothly.

Because Spark aligners are removable, you can maintain your usual oral hygiene routine and enjoy your favorite foods—all while transforming your smile.
