More Affordable Than Invisalign
Works for Complex Cases

Available at our Frisco, The Colony, and Prosper locations.


Why Elate Is Different: Expertise That Goes Beyond the Office

Dr. Baharvand Trains Other Orthodontists Nationwide on Angel Aligners

Most orthodontists who offer clear aligners learn to use them through manufacturer training courses and clinical trial and error. Dr. Baharvand operates at a different level. As one of the highest-volume Angel Aligner providers in Texas, he has developed a depth of case experience that has led Angel Aligner to invite him to lecture and train other orthodontists on advanced techniques, complex case planning, and best practices for achieving consistent, predictable results.

When you choose Elate Orthodontics for your Angel Aligner treatment, you are not getting a provider who recently added aligners to their menu. You are getting an orthodontist who teaches other doctors how to do this well. That translates directly into more accurate treatment planning, fewer refinements, and outcomes that finish closer to what was planned from the start.

What Are Angel Aligners?

Angel Aligners are a premium clear aligner system developed specifically for orthodontists, not for direct-to-consumer use. Unlike Invisalign, which originated as a consumer-facing product, Angel Aligners were designed from the ground up by orthodontic specialists for orthodontic specialists. Each set of trays is fabricated from a proprietary triple-layer polymer that provides more precise force delivery and greater stain resistance than standard aligner materials.

The system includes built-in precision button features that give the treating orthodontist greater mechanical control over tooth movement, meaning complex cases that might require significant workarounds in other aligner systems can often be handled more cleanly with Angel Aligners. Each tray change is planned digitally using 3D simulation software, so you can see your projected outcome before treatment even begins.

Why Angel Aligners Are Our Preferred System

We chose Angel Aligners as our primary clear aligner system for specific clinical reasons, not because of corporate partnerships.

Triple-Layer Polymer Material

The proprietary three-layer construction delivers more consistent and controlled force to the teeth compared to single-layer aligner materials used by most competitors.

Built-In Precision Buttons

Angel Aligners incorporate precision attachment points directly into the tray design, giving the orthodontist more mechanical leverage for difficult tooth movements without requiring as many external attachments bonded to teeth.

Stain-Resistant & Crystal Clear

The aligner material is highly resistant to yellowing from coffee, tea, and other common staining agents, keeping trays looking clear throughout the wear period.

Smoother Edges

Angel Aligners are trimmed and finished with smoother edges than many competing systems, reducing soft tissue irritation along the gumline during the early weeks of treatment.

Faster Lab Turnaround

From your 3D scan to receiving your first set of aligners, Angel Aligners typically arrive in 2 to 3 weeks, often faster than Invisalign. You start treatment sooner and finish sooner.

Orthodontist-Designed System

Angel Aligners was built by orthodontists for orthodontists, not as a direct-to-consumer product. Every clinical feature of the system was designed around how specialists actually treat complex cases.

Works for Complex Cases

Angel Aligners can address mild to severe crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, open bite, crossbite, and overjet. In experienced hands, the case range overlaps significantly with what requires braces at other offices.

More Affordable Than Invisalign

Angel Aligners cost between $2,500 and $6,500 depending on complexity, often significantly less than comparable Invisalign treatment, without any reduction in clinical quality.

Find Out Which Option Is Right for You


How Angel Aligners Work

1

3D Scan and Digital Treatment Plan. We take a digital scan of your teeth in minutes, no impressions. Dr. Baharvand designs your full treatment plan using 3D simulation software so you can see your projected final result before any trays are made.

2

Custom Aligner Fabrication. Your aligners are manufactured from the proprietary triple-layer polymer material and typically arrive within 2 to 3 weeks, faster than most competing systems.

3

Wear Each Set for 1 to 2 Weeks. Each tray applies gentle, calibrated pressure to move specific teeth in a precise sequence. You wear them 22 hours per day, removing only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush.

4

Regular Progress Appointments. Dr. Baharvand or Dr. Kang monitors your tooth movement at scheduled check-ins, making adjustments to the plan if needed. Our virtual care system allows many routine progress checks to happen remotely.

5

Finish with Retainers. Most Angel Aligner treatments complete in 6 to 18 months. Once your teeth are in final position, you transition to retainers to hold the result long-term.


Angel Aligners vs. Braces: Which Should You Choose?

Choose Angel Aligners if:

You want a discreet, removable option. You do not want food restrictions. You are comfortable with the discipline of wearing trays 22 hours a day. Your case is mild to moderately complex.

Choose Braces if:

Your case is highly complex or involves significant jaw correction. You would prefer a fixed appliance that works continuously without relying on patient compliance for wear time. See our braces page for more.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Angel Aligners?

👱

Kids, Teens & Adults

There is no upper age limit. We treat patients from teens through their 70s with Angel Aligners.

🦲

Mild to Complex Cases

Crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, open bite, crossbite, and overjet. In experienced hands, Angel Aligners handle a broader case range than most aligner systems.

Consistent Wearers

Aligners must be worn 22 hours per day for the treatment plan to work as designed. Patients who are committed to this see the best and fastest results.


How to Care for Angel Aligners

Brush and rinse daily

Use a soft toothbrush and cool water to clean your aligners each morning and evening. Avoid toothpaste, which can scratch the surface.

Use your retainer case

Always store aligners in their case when not in your mouth. Aligners left on tables or wrapped in napkins are the most common reason for lost trays.

Avoid hot liquids while wearing

Hot coffee or tea can warp the aligner material, affecting fit and tooth movement. Only plain water should be consumed while aligners are in.

Use chewies after tray changes

Bite down on chewies for 5 to 10 minutes after inserting a new tray. This helps seat the aligner fully against the teeth, improving tracking and reducing fit issues.

Angel Aligners Questions, Answered

How much do Angel Aligners cost?

Angel Aligners at Elate Orthodontics cost between $2,500 and $6,500 depending on case complexity, making them significantly more affordable than Invisalign in most cases. Monthly payment plans starting from $99 are available with low or no down payment.

Are Angel Aligners as effective as Invisalign?

Yes. Angel Aligners are a top-tier clinical system that can achieve equivalent or superior outcomes to Invisalign, particularly in the hands of a high-volume provider. Dr. Baharvand’s case volume and his role training other orthodontists nationally means our patients benefit from a level of expertise most offices cannot match.

How long does it take to get Angel Aligners?

From your digital scan appointment to receiving your first set of trays typically takes 2 to 3 weeks. This is faster than most competing systems, which means you start moving teeth sooner.

Does insurance cover Angel Aligners?

Yes. Most PPO dental insurance plans that include an orthodontic benefit apply the same coverage to Angel Aligners as to any other aligner system. We verify your benefits before treatment begins and help you maximize what your plan covers.

What is the best alternative to Invisalign?

Angel Aligners are our recommendation for patients seeking an Invisalign alternative. They use more advanced material, offer faster lab turnaround, and cost less. We also offer clear ceramic braces for cases where a fixed appliance is more appropriate.

How long does Angel Aligner treatment take?

Most treatments complete in 6 to 18 months. Simple cases may finish in as few as 6 to 9 months. More complex bite correction or severe crowding cases take longer. At Elate, Dr. Baharvand’s advanced treatment planning typically means cases finish closer to the lower end of the estimate.

What do people not know about clear aligners?

The most important factor in any aligner treatment is wear time. Aligners must be in your mouth 22 hours a day. Taking them out for meals, coffee, and brushing is fine, but extended periods without wearing them allows teeth to drift back, costing time and potentially requiring refinement trays. Our Aligner Care guide covers this in detail.

Can older adults get Angel Aligners?

There is no upper age limit. We treat patients in their 50s, 60s, and 70s regularly with Angel Aligners. As long as the teeth and gums are healthy, aligners work effectively regardless of age. In fact, many older adults prefer the discreet, removable nature of aligners over braces.

Do teeth shift more with age without treatment?

Yes. Teeth naturally tend to crowd and shift as we age, particularly in the lower front arch. This is one reason many adults who had straight teeth in their 20s find themselves with crowding in their 40s and beyond. Treatment now prevents the issue from worsening further.

What would disqualify someone from Angel Aligners?

Extremely severe skeletal bite problems, active gum disease, or significant bone loss may make aligners a less suitable option. However, many cases that were previously considered too complex for aligners can now be treated using Angel Aligners in experienced hands. A consultation will clarify whether you are a candidate.
