Aligners can straighten teeth and address certain bite issues, without the brackets and wires. They’re clear, removable and barely noticeable.

Life doesn’t just stop because you’re straightening your teeth. There are still work meetings, dinners out, weekends away and everything else you have on your calendar.
That’s one of the things people love about clear aligners. They’re designed to fit into your life, not take it over. Take them out to eat, brush and floss, then pop them back in and get on with whatever’s next.
Aligners are a clear, removable alternative to traditional braces. A series of aligner trays are custom-made for your teeth. Each set applies controlled pressure to the teeth to gradually move them into a straighter position.
Because they can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing, there are fewer changes to your everyday routine. Even when they’re in, their clear design keeps things discreet.
Clear braces are suitable for a range of concerns, including:
From your first digital scan to your final aligner, we’ll keep things straightforward, explain what happens next and be there to guide you along the way.
We’ll take digital scans (no messy impressions) to examine your teeth and bite and find out if you can benefit from Angel Aligners.
The timing, costs, and expected results are all outlined in your treatment plan. So, no surprises and you’ll always know the next steps.
Once your custom-made aligners are ready, we’ll check the fit and explain everything you need to know to get the best outcome.
We’ll check your progress from time to time, answer any questions, and make sure your teeth are moving as planned.
Once treatment is complete, we’ll organise your retainers and show you how to wear them to help keep your teeth in their new position over time.
There’s more to clear aligner treatment than the aligners themselves. From making sure they’re right for you to carefully planning your treatment and checking in along the way, we want you to feel well looked after from start to finish.
Our digital scanner lets us take a detailed 3D look at your teeth and bite. It gives us a clearer picture of where we’re starting and helps us plan how your teeth need to move.
You won’t simply be handed your aligners and sent on your way. We’ll check in during treatment to answer questions and make sure everything is tracking as expected.
Once you’ve achieved your straighter smile our care doesn’t stop. We’ll continue to keep an eye on your teeth, gums and overall oral health, because straight teeth are only one part of a healthy smile.
Taking care of your smile shouldn’t be complicated. We’ve made paying for your treatment simple, flexible and convenient.
Not quite. You may hear people use the term clear braces when talking about discreet orthodontic treatment, but clear aligners and braces work differently.
Clear aligners are removable trays that fit over your teeth, while clear or ceramic braces generally use brackets and wires that remain attached to the teeth throughout treatment.
Angel Aligners vs Invisalign is a common comparison because both are clear aligner systems designed to move teeth gradually using a series of custom-made trays.
There can be differences between the systems and the treatment options available, but the brand name isn’t the only thing that matters. What matters most is whether clear aligner treatment is suitable for your teeth and bite, and how your treatment is planned and monitored. At Harpley Dental, we use Angel Aligner and can talk you through what that means for your treatment.
They can be used to straighten crooked teeth and fix misaligned teeth in many cases, depending on the type and complexity of tooth movement required.
Your teeth aligners are custom-made and changed progressively, with each set designed to move your teeth a little further towards their planned position. We’ll check your progress along the way to make sure things are moving as expected.
Angel Aligners may be suitable for overbite correction and other bite concerns in some patients, but it depends on what’s causing the bite issue and how complex it is.
Rather than promising aligners can fix something before we’ve seen you, we’ll assess your teeth, jaws and bite first and explain what may realistically be possible.
Angel Aligner cost will vary depending on the complexity of your case and how much treatment you need. Someone requiring relatively minor tooth movement may have a very different treatment plan from someone with more complex alignment or bite concerns.
After assessing your teeth, we’ll explain your treatment plan and clear aligner cost upfront, so you know what you’re looking at before deciding whether to go ahead.
There’s no one treatment time that applies to everyone. It depends on where your teeth are starting, where they need to move and how complex those movements are.
Once we’ve assessed your teeth and planned your treatment, we’ll be able to give you a better idea of how long your individual treatment is likely to take.
For best results, clear aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours per day. Only remove them for things like eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing and flossing. Following the wear instructions you’re given is important because your treatment is planned around your aligners being worn consistently.
We’ll explain exactly how and when to wear yours before you get started, so there’s no guesswork once you get home.
One of the handy things about removable aligners is that you take them out to eat. That means there aren’t the same food restrictions associated with fixed braces.
You’ll need to look after your teeth and aligners carefully, though. We’ll show you how to keep both clean and talk you through the everyday dos and don’ts when you receive your first sets.
A straighter smile, made simple. With clear aligners designed to fit around your day and a dental team looking after you every step of the way.
