Angel Aligner is newer to many Sydney patients than Invisalign, but both work the same basic way and we offer both on Pitt Street. Here’s a plain comparison to help you decide what to ask at your consultation.

About the manufacturers
Angelalign Technology was founded in Shanghai in 2003 and is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Invisalign is made by Align Technology in the US and has been available since the late 1990s.
What each company highlights
Angelalign says its masterControl S material applies steady force and stays clear, and promotes its Intelligent Root System, which it says considers root position in planning, plus angelButton and angelAttach designs. Align promotes SmartTrack material and ClinCheck planning. These are manufacturer claims.
Treatment at our practice
The process is the same for both: a complimentary smile makeover consultation, a 3D scan and smile design, a digital preview of your plan, then fitting and regular reviews.
Cost in the Sydney CBD
Angel Aligner ranges from $3,700 to $8,490 and Invisalign from $4,200 to $8,990 at Sydney Dental Veneers. Fees are confirmed after your assessment.
Which suits you?
Neither is better for everyone. We look at your bite, your goals for your smile and your budget, including whether braces might suit you better. Read more on our Angel Aligner and Invisalign pages, or compare Spark vs Invisalign.
Risks and limitations
Whichever system you choose, aligners aren’t suitable for every case and results vary. Expect pressure with each new set, a short adjustment period for speech and the need to remove the trays to eat. Treatment depends on 20 to 22 hours of daily wear; attachments or interproximal reduction may be needed, and teeth can move back if retainers aren’t worn. A digital simulation is not a guarantee of your final result. Any invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner. Read more about treatment risks.
