What Are Angel Aligners?

With over 20 years of orthodontist driven innovation, Angel Aligners have been trusted by doctors to help over one million patients achieve the smile of their dreams. Nearly invisible and antireflective, clear aligners are one of the most discreet treatment options available—letting you transform your child’s or your smile without anyone noticing.

These clear aligners were designed with patient comfort in mind. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are flexible for precise tooth movement, less likely to cause irritation and easy to remove for brushing and eating. Plus, they are BPA and latex free.

Angel Aligners are also incredibly efficient, with a treatment system that is clinically proven to handle the most minor of shifts to the most complex of cases. Dr. Jodi or Dr. Little will partner with you to create a customized plan tailored to your needs so every smile journey is as smooth and comfortable as possible.

How Do Angel Aligners Work?

Angel Aligners straighten teeth by using a series of custom made, removable aligners. Each aligner applies a small amount of constant pressure to the teeth, slowly shifting them in place. Each set of aligners is worn for about one to two weeks before moving onto the next set in the series. By following your personalized treatment plan from Dr. Jodi or Dr. Little, you or your child will see consistent progress toward a smile transformation without the look and feel of traditional braces.

How To Use Angel Aligners

To achieve the smile you or your child are working toward, wear the aligners exactly as directed. Dr. Jodi and Dr. Little recommend keeping them in for 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat or drink anything besides water, or to brush and floss. You should clean your aligners daily using a soft toothbrush and cool water. Following these instructions helps ensure your smile stays healthy while progressing smoothly through your treatment journey.
