Angel Aligners in Canberra

Angel Aligner at Civic Gentle Dental Care

Angel Aligner is a clear aligner system made by Angelalign Technology, a company founded in 2003 and headquartered in Shanghai. Like Invisalign and Spark, it moves teeth with a series of removable, custom-made trays. We offer all three at our practice in Canberra City.

We recommend Angel Aligner only after assessing your teeth, gums and bite. If aligners are not the right tool for your case, we will explain the alternatives.

How Angel Aligners Are Designed

Angel trays use a multi-layer material Angelalign calls masterControl S, and treatment is planned on its iOrtho software. Angelalign describes several features that can be built into a plan:

  • angelButton: hooks built into the tray for use with elastics
  • angelAttach: attachments that help the tray grip and guide specific teeth
  • Intelligent Root System: a planning tool that can combine 3D x-ray (CBCT) and scan data to model roots and bone

Not every plan uses these features. Angel trays, like any aligner, are not invisible.

Treatment Step by Step

  1. Complimentary consultation. An examination of your teeth, gums and bite, and a discussion of all your options, including not treating.
  2. Scan and photos. We take an iTero scan and photos to design your aligners.
  3. Plan review. You see a 3D simulation of the planned movement. It is a planning guide, not a promise. You receive a written estimate before starting.
  4. Daily wear. Trays are worn for most of the day, typically 20 to 22 hours, and changed on the schedule your dentist sets.
  5. Reviews and retainers. Regular check-ups keep treatment on track, and retainers help hold the result.

Angel Aligner Compared With Spark

Spark, from Ormco, uses a material called TruGEN and is planned on Approver software. The two systems treat a similar range of cases. See our Spark aligners page for details.

Who Angel Aligner May Suit

Angel Aligner may suit adults and older teens with crowding, spacing, some bite concerns or teeth that have shifted since earlier treatment, provided they can wear the trays consistently.

Untreated decay or gum disease needs attention first. Significant jaw discrepancies may be better treated with braces or by a specialist orthodontist.

Angel Aligners Cost in Canberra

Our current price guide estimates Angel Aligner treatment at $3,700 to $8,490, $500 less than our Invisalign estimate of $4,200 to $8,990. Your fee depends on the complexity of your case, the number of aligners and any refinements.

Your first Angel Aligner consultation is complimentary. Interest-free payment plans are available through external providers, subject to approval. Some extras policies with orthodontic cover contribute, so check with your fund.

Risks to Consider

Angel Aligner treatment carries the same risks as other aligner systems. These include soreness with new trays, temporary speech changes and gum irritation. Other risks are decay if hygiene slips, root shortening and movements that are not fully achieved. Treatment length cannot be guaranteed. Read about treatment risks, recovery and alternatives.
