These personalized trays are virtually invisible and consist of high-quality materials, providing a more convenient and comfortable solution for straightening pearly whites.

How Angel Aligners Work
Instead of using metal wires and brackets to straighten your smile, you’ll instead work through a series of custom Angel Aligners to gradually shift your teeth into the proper position. Each set of trays will likely require you to wear them for 20-22 hours every day for about a couple of weeks until you need to transition to the next pair. You’ll also need to visit our team regularly for checkups so that we can monitor your progress while ensuring your smile is improving correctly.
Who Can Angel Aligners Help?
The perks of Angel Aligners don’t end at their appearance; they are also quite versatile! In fact, they can help address many orthodontic problems, including:
Crowded Teeth
Crowded teeth are one of the most common dental flaws people experience. Unfortunately, they can lead to low self-esteem and increase the risk of dental trouble, including tooth decay, gum disease, and infection. With Angel Aligners, we can shift your teeth into their properly aligned positions, making them more aesthetically pleasing and much easier to clean during your oral hygiene routine.
Gaps Between Teeth
Too many spaces between your teeth can leave you vulnerable to debris and bacteria collecting around your smile. Plus, they can leave you feeling less than confident with your smile, causing you to cover it in photos or when you laugh. With Angel Aligners, we can gently close gaps, align your pearly whites, and make it easier to avoid built-up plaque, food particles, and other debris.
Overbite
Having your upper teeth jut out far beyond your lower ones may not seem like a big deal, but this orthodontic problem (an overbite) can lead to several problems, including chronic jaw pain and trouble enunciating clearly. For that reason, we recommend exploring your treatment options, like Angel Aligners. If we determine that you’re a candidate, then we will bring your bite into proper alignment with a series of clear and comfortable aligners.
Underbite
Underbites are usually quite noticeable, even in mild cases, which causes many patients to struggle with low self-esteem. While there was once a time when traditional braces were the only solution, that’s no longer the case. In fact, Angel Aligners can correct several common bite problems, including underbites. The best way to find out if you’re a candidate is by scheduling a consultation with us so we can complete a comprehensive oral exam.
Crossbite
In short, if you take the “wait and see” approach with orthodontic problems like crossbites, you can end up struggling with complications, including enamel wear and tear, speech impediments, and jaw pain. Angel Aligners, along with attachments and/or elastic bands, can help bring your bite into proper alignment. The final result? A smile that’s healthier, more aesthetically pleasing, and less prone to damage.
Open Bite
When you bite down, your upper and lower teeth should meet evenly. If there is a space that’s preventing that from happening, then you may have an open bite. The easiest way to find out is by scheduling a consultation with us so we can learn all about your dental needs and determine if clear aligner treatment is right for you.
Benefits of Angel Aligners
Angel Aligners are highly recommended by patients and professionals alike because the treatment offers numerous benefits that traditional metal braces simply cannot match. Some of the advantages you’ll be able to enjoy while undergoing this exceptional orthodontic treatment include:
Improved Comfort
Pretty much all patients agree that removable aligners are far more comfortable than traditional metal braces. Metal braces have sharp edges that can dig into your soft tissues or cut into your lips. However, the aligners are made of smooth, curved plastic that’s molded to fit the unique curves of your smile, and they’ll sit snugly on top of your teeth. In fact, you won’t even realize the aligners are there most of the time once you’ve adjusted to wearing them!
Discreet Trays
One of the most well-known perks that Angel Aligners have to offer is discretion; with metal braces, the brackets and wires are very noticeable. However, clear aligners are made from special, transparent plastic that’s virtually invisible while being worn; in fact, only you and your provider will even know that you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment! Of course, this is also assuming you’re diligent about keeping your trays clean and clear.
Easier Dental Hygiene
One major benefit of clear aligner treatment is how easy the aligners are to keep clean, as well as how little impact the treatment has on your daily hygiene regimen. You will simply need to remove the aligners any time you are brushing and flossing. You should also be rinsing your aligners any time you remove them from your mouth or before replacing them, and as needed, use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clean your aligners.
Fewer Follow-Ups
One thing that patients with braces have to keep in mind is leaving their schedules open for the routine check-ups, which usually involve adjusting the braces as needed. When you opt for Angel Aligners, you don’t need to attend check-ins as frequently, since you’ll be set up with several sets of trays, and there aren’t any adjustments that need to be made. However, you should still come in as scheduled to ensure that things remain on track!
No Dietary Restrictions
With braces, you’re somewhat limited in the foods that you can eat; for instance, popcorn is one of the most commonly sighted things that should be avoided, as well as other particularly crunchy, hard, chewy, or sticky items. However, with Angel Aligners, you don’t have to worry about any of this! As long as you remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything (except clear water), virtually all items remain on the menu.
Understanding the Cost of Angel Aligners
It’s typically impossible to provide an accurate cost estimate of Angel Aligners without first visiting us for an initial consultation. During this visit, we’ll evaluate your oral health and situation to determine the best way to address your orthodontic concerns. We’ll also walk you through what to expect from the process as well as the price of your treatment and your financing options. Of course, if you want to learn more about the price in the meantime, you can read on too!
Factors That Affect the Cost of Angel Aligners
There are several factors we need to consider before determining if you’re a candidate for this Invisalign alternative, including:
- If gum disease or any other preliminary care is needed
- How severe your case of misalignment is
- How many aligners need to be made
- The type of retainer you need to preserve your results
Rest assured, we will review all of these more in-depth at your consultation. We will also discuss what to do to stay on-track with your treatment plan, preventing unwanted delays and added costs.
Angel Aligners vs. Mail-In Aligners: Which Costs More?
Mail-order alternatives usually cost less. While the lower price point might initially tempt you, it’s important to know why that’s the case: they cut corners. They skip the consultation, they rely on DIY impressions, there usually aren’t licensed dental professionals overseeing the treatment process, and there’s nowhere to turn if something bad happens. For all of those reasons, it’s best for your smile and your wallet to invest in a professional orthodontic treatment, like Angel Aligners.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Angel Aligners?
Do you have dental insurance? Good news: your plan may include orthodontic benefits! The easiest way to find out is by taking a look at the fine print. If you need any help, let us know. We’d be happy to take a look at your coverage, explain your out-of-pocket expenses, and help with the paperwork. That way, the process of understanding and utilizing your benefits is seamless and stress-free.
