Clear aligners have changed what orthodontic treatment can look like. Instead of brackets and wires, a series of removable, nearly invisible aligners gradually guides your teeth into their planned positions.
At Beyond Smiles Orthodontics in Syosset, Dr. Isaak Yelizar offers Angel Aligners as one of our advanced clear aligner options. Angel Aligners combine discreet treatment with specialized materials and treatment systems that give us another way to address a wide range of orthodontic concerns.
Angel Aligner treatment begins with a detailed evaluation and digital scan of your teeth. Using this information, Dr. Yelizar develops a treatment plan that maps out how your teeth should move from their current positions toward the desired result.
Your custom aligners are then fabricated according to that plan. Each set is worn for a prescribed amount of time before moving to the next stage in the series, gradually guiding your teeth through treatment.
Because the aligners are removable, you can take them out to eat, brush, and floss. The tradeoff is that clear aligner treatment requires consistent wear. Following Dr. Yelizar’s instructions is an important part of keeping treatment progressing as planned.
Angel Aligners can be used to treat a variety of orthodontic concerns. Whether they are appropriate for you depends on the type and complexity of tooth movement your smile requires.
When there is not enough room within the dental arch, teeth may overlap, rotate, or erupt into less-than-ideal positions. Clear aligner treatment can gradually create and redistribute space to improve alignment in appropriately selected cases.
Unwanted spaces can occur between individual teeth or throughout the smile. Angel Aligners may be used to gradually close these spaces and create more balanced tooth positions.
Depending on the cause and severity of the problem, clear aligners may be incorporated into treatment for certain overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites.
Bite correction is more complicated than simply making the front teeth look straight, which is why your treatment should begin with a comprehensive orthodontic evaluation.
For the right patient, Angel Aligners can provide many of the benefits people look for when considering clear orthodontic treatment.
The cost of Angel Aligner treatment varies depending on the complexity of your orthodontic needs and the extent of treatment required. Typically angel aligners cost $4000-$7000.
Instead of assuming every clear aligner case should cost the same amount, we will evaluate your teeth and bite first and provide a personalized treatment estimate during your consultation.
If you have orthodontic insurance benefits, our team can help you understand your coverage. Beyond Smiles also offers interest-free in-house financing with manageable payment options to help make orthodontic treatment more accessible.
Because Angel Aligners are removable, there are no braces-related food restrictions. You should remove your aligners before eating and follow the instructions our team provides about drinking beverages while wearing them.
It is generally best to remove your aligners before drinking coffee or other beverages that can stain the trays. Hot drinks may also affect aligner material. Water is the safest beverage to drink while your aligners are in place.
Angel Aligners can treat many common orthodontic problems, but candidacy depends on your teeth, bite, and the complexity of the movements required. Dr. Yelizar can determine whether they are appropriate after evaluating your smile.
Simply remove your aligners and brush and floss your teeth normally. Being able to remove the trays for oral hygiene is one of the major conveniences of clear aligner treatment.
Your aligners should be cleaned regularly according to the instructions provided by our team. Keeping both your teeth and aligners clean helps prevent buildup, odors, and discoloration during treatment.
Contact Beyond Smiles rather than automatically moving ahead to another aligner. Depending on where you are in your treatment sequence, Dr. Yelizar may recommend wearing your previous aligner, advancing to the next one, or replacing the lost tray.
