Angel Aligner is a clear aligner system from Angelalign Technology, a company founded in 2003 and headquartered in Shanghai. It uses a series of removable, custom-made trays to move teeth, in the same way as Invisalign and Spark. All three are available at Hornsby Dental.
We assess your teeth, gums and bite before recommending Angel Aligner. If aligners are not suitable for your case, we will discuss the alternatives with you.
Angel trays are made from a multi-layer material Angelalign calls masterControl S, and treatment is planned on its iOrtho software. Angelalign describes features that can be included in a plan:
Not every plan uses these features, and Angel trays are not invisible.
Both use custom trays planned digitally and changed in stages. They differ in manufacturer, tray material and planning software.
| Angel Aligner | Invisalign | |
|---|---|---|
| Made by | Angelalign Technology (Shanghai) | Align Technology (USA) |
| Tray material | masterControl S | SmartTrack |
| Planning software | iOrtho | ClinCheck |
| Estimated cost at Hornsby Dental | $3,700 – $8,490 | $4,200 – $8,990 |
For suitable cases, both are established systems that can achieve planned tooth movement when worn as prescribed. Compare all three on our clear aligners page.
Read our full guide to Angel aligners vs Invisalign, or see how Angel compares with Spark in Spark vs Angel aligners.
Spark, from Ormco, uses a material called TruGEN and is planned on Approver software. The two treat a similar range of cases. See our Spark aligners page.
Angel Aligner may suit adults and older teens with crowding, spacing, some bite concerns or teeth that have moved since earlier treatment, provided they can wear the trays consistently.
Decay or gum disease needs treating first. Significant jaw discrepancies may be better managed with braces or a specialist. See our orthodontics page.
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. Hornsby Dental is a Medibank provider, and some extras policies with orthodontic cover contribute, so check with your fund.
Angel Aligner carries the same risks as other aligner systems: soreness with new trays, temporary speech changes, gum irritation, 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.
