What Are Angel Aligners?
Why Choose Clear Aligners at Stork Orthodontics?
Benefits of Angel Aligners
- Nearly Invisible Appearance: The aligners are made from a transparent material, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them. You can smile with confidence throughout your entire treatment.
- Comfort and Convenience: With no metal brackets or wires to irritate your mouth, Angel Aligners provide a more comfortable experience. They are also removable, so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss as you normally would.
- Predictable and Effective Results: Angel Aligners use advanced 3D imaging technology to map out your entire treatment plan from start to finish. This allows you to see your projected results before you even begin.
- Improved Oral Hygiene: Because the aligners are removable, you can maintain excellent oral hygiene more easily than with traditional braces, reducing the risk of plaque buildup and cavities.
How Angel Aligners Work
