At Pacific Orthodontics, we believe clear aligner treatment should be more than simply moving teeth from one position to another. Successful orthodontic treatment begins with a careful diagnosis, thoughtful treatment planning, and an understanding of how teeth, bone, gums, bite, and facial aesthetics work together.
Angel Align® clear aligners offer a comfortable, discreet way to straighten teeth while allowing us to provide the individualized orthodontic care our patients expect.
Angel Align is an advanced clear-aligner system designed to gradually move teeth using a series of custom-made, nearly invisible aligners. Each aligner is worn for a prescribed period of time and applies gentle, controlled forces to guide the teeth toward their planned positions.
Because the aligners are removable, you can continue to brush and floss normally and enjoy most of your favorite foods during treatment.
Clear aligners may be an excellent option for many teens and adults who want to improve the alignment of their teeth without traditional braces.
Benefits may include:
Clear aligner technology is only one part of successful orthodontic treatment. At Pacific Orthodontics, every treatment plan begins with a comprehensive orthodontic evaluation.
Dr. Doppel combines more than 30 years of orthodontic experience with current digital technology and evidence-based treatment principles. Your diagnosis, facial characteristics, bite, periodontal health, and treatment goals are considered when determining whether clear aligners are appropriate for you.
Some cases are best treated with clear aligners, while others may benefit from braces or a combination of orthodontic techniques. Our goal is to choose the treatment approach that provides the best fit for your individual needs—not simply to fit you into an aligner program.
Depending on the individual patient and the complexity of the case, clear aligners may be used to address problems such as:
More complex tooth movements may require additional orthodontic techniques or a combination of clear aligners and braces. During your consultation, we will discuss what is realistically achievable with aligner treatment and whether it is the right choice for you.
Our office uses advanced digital technology to make orthodontic treatment more precise and efficient. Digital scans can be used to create a detailed 3D model of your teeth and help us develop your individualized treatment plan.
We can use this technology to evaluate planned tooth movements and communicate the goals and expected progression of treatment with you.
While technology plays an important role, the experience and judgment of your orthodontist remain at the center of your treatment.
Your treatment will begin with a comprehensive examination and consultation. If clear aligners are appropriate, we will develop a customized treatment plan and explain:
You will typically wear your aligners for most of the day and change to a new set according to the schedule provided by our office. Regular visits allow us to monitor your progress and make adjustments when necessary.
If you are considering a more discreet way to straighten your teeth, we would be happy to determine whether Angel Align clear aligners are appropriate for you.
