What Are Angel Aligners?
Angel Aligners are a series of transparent, removable trays designed to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Each aligner is custom-made using advanced 3D imaging and fabrication technology to ensure an accurate fit. This innovative system provides a discreet and flexible alternative to metal braces, giving patients more freedom while still achieving excellent results.
Angel Aligners are ideal for correcting a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite or underbite
- Crossbite and open bite
Unlike some clear aligner systems, Angel Aligners are built with multi-layer polymer material that combines durability with gentle, controlled force. This provides a comfortable fit and consistent pressure, which can make treatment both more efficient and more comfortable.

How Do Angel Aligners Work?
So, how do Angel Aligners work? The process is simple yet highly precise. Your treatment begins with a full digital scan of your teeth and bite. From there, we create a detailed treatment plan showing the expected movement of your teeth at each stage.
You’ll receive a series of aligners, each worn for one to two weeks. These trays gradually move your teeth closer to their ideal alignment. You’ll wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
You’ll have routine checkups with our dentist to ensure your teeth are tracking correctly and that your treatment is progressing as planned. Many patients see noticeable improvement in just a few months, with full treatment taking anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of the case.

How to Clean Angel Aligners
It’s important to clean your aligners properly to get the most out of your treatment:
Here’s how to clean Angel Aligners:
- Rinse them under lukewarm water every time you remove them.
- Gently brush them using a soft toothbrush and clear, unscented soap.
- Avoid using hot water, as it may warp the plastic.
- Store them in their protective case when not in use to prevent damage or loss.
- Brush your teeth before putting aligners back in to avoid trapping food particles.
Keeping your aligners clean helps avoid staining, bad breath, and bacterial buildup. We’ll go over detailed care instructions with you during your visit to ensure your trays stay fresh and effective.
Benefits of Angel Aligners
Angel Aligners offer a long list of benefits for patients seeking a more convenient orthodontic experience:
