Why Angel Aligner
“Some of the features of Angel Aligner that I love are probably first, the angelButton. It’s amazing. It’s integrated within the plastic, it’s more comfortable for the patient. It doesn’t effect the integrity of the aligner. You can change the direction of force; it’s very versatile. You can change it throughout treatment – move it crossbite elastic, inside/outside, wear elastics to tad, extrude teeth. The possibilities are really endless. I think that has been a huge game changer.”
