Angel Aligner is a brand of clear aligners used to straighten teeth, similar to Invisalign®. These custom-made, removable trays work by gently guiding your teeth into their ideal positions, as engineered by your orthodontist. Designed for both esthetics and effectiveness, Angel Aligner offers advanced technology and doctor-driven treatment.
While Invisalign® has become a household name in the U.S., Angel Aligner has been the clear aligner of choice in other countries for decades. Recently, Angel Aligner has expanded into the U.S., Canada, and Europe—giving orthodontists across the globe more high-quality options to serve their patients. At Godley Family Orthodontics, we’ve used a variety of clear aligner systems and ultimately trust Angel Aligner as a preferred option. Here’s why.
Clear Aligners: A Growing Orthodontic Option
The popularity of clear aligners continues to rise as more people seek discreet, convenient alternatives to traditional braces. Invisalign and Angel Aligner are often viewed as the two main players—much like Coke and Pepsi in the soda world. Similarly, jut just as Kleenex is one brand in the tissue category, Invisalign and Angel Aligner are simply brands within the broader clear aligner category.
Let’s explore the similarities and differences between these aligner systems and why orthodontist expertise remains the most important factor in achieving great results.
Invisalign vs. Angel Aligner: What They Have in Common
Though marketed differently, Invisalign and Angel Aligner share many of the same benefits:
✅ Transparent Esthetics
Both systems use crystal-clear plastic trays that are virtually invisible when worn, allowing patients to smile with confidence throughout treatment.
✅ Removability
A hallmark feature of both aligner systems is their removability, allowing patients to easily take them out for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene routines.
✅ Custom Fit and Gentle Movement
Each set of aligners is custom-made to fit your teeth and works in a sequence to gradually guide your smile into alignment.
Key Differences: Angel Aligner vs. Invisalign
Cost-Effective Without Compromising Quality
One reason we prefer Angel Aligner is the lower overall cost. Invisalign’s extensive advertising—such as partnerships with the NFL—often drives up its price. Angel Aligner invests more in technology, it’s product, and less in marketing, allowing us to pass savings on to our patients without sacrificing treatment outcomes.
Innovation and Technological Advancements
Angel Aligner has been has been ahead of the game when it comes to clear aligner innovation. For example:
• They introduced a mandibular advancement solution in 2015, while Invisalign followed in 2017.
• They’ve launched aligners with built-in buttons for rubber band wear—features not yet available from Invisalign.
These advancements reflect Angel Aligner’s ongoing commitment to developing practical, orthodontist-friendly solutions, which is another reason we chose to adopt their system.
The Most Important Factor: Your Orthodontist’s Expertise
The success of clear aligner treatment doesn’t just depend on the brand—it depends on the skill and training of the orthodontist designing and managing your treatment.
