The Cost of Clear Aligners: Are Invisalign or Angel Aligners Worth the Investment?

Are you unhappy with your smile but put off by the idea of traditional metal braces? More adults and teens are choosing clear aligners for a discreet, comfortable and effective way to straighten their teeth. At Priors Hall Dental, we offer two leading clear aligner systems, Invisalign and Angel Aligners, giving you more options to achieve the smile you have always wanted.
 

What Are Clear Aligners and How Do They Work?

Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent trays designed to move your teeth gradually and gently into their correct positions. Whether you choose Invisalign or Angel Aligners, each set is worn for about 1-2 weeks before progressing to the next in the series. You’ll need to wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day, only removing them for meals, drinks (other than water), and your oral hygiene routine.

The treatment process begins with a detailed 3D digital scan of your mouth. This scan allows your dentist to plan each stage of your treatment with precision, using advanced software to predict and guide tooth movement.

What Dental Issues Can Clear Aligners Treat?

Both Invisalign and Angel Aligners can treat a wide range of orthodontic problems, including:

• Crowded teeth: When there’s not enough room in the jaw for teeth to align properly

• Gaps and spacing: Unwanted spaces between teeth

• Overbite and underbite: When the upper or lower teeth protrude too far

• Crossbite: Where some upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth

• Open bite: When the front teeth don’t touch when biting down

Clear aligners are also a popular choice for adults who had braces in the past but have experienced relapse over time.
 

Invisalign vs Angel Aligners: What’s the Difference?

Invisalign is one of the most well-established brands, with over 15 million smiles transformed worldwide. It is known for its proprietary SmartTrack® material and advanced ClinCheck® planning software, which help deliver precise and predictable outcomes.

Angel Aligners offer comparable precision and effectiveness and are particularly popular for their dual aligner system, designed for both day and night wear. This feature can enhance comfort and may even reduce treatment time. Some patients also find Angel Aligners to be slightly thinner and less noticeable, while still providing excellent results.

Your dentist will work with you to determine which aligner system is most suitable for your specific needs, goals and lifestyle.

How Much Do Clear Aligners Cost?

At Priors Hall Dental, we’re committed to transparent pricing and personalised care. Costs can vary depending on the complexity of your case, but here’s a general guide:

• Minimal cases: From £2,999
Best suited for mild crowding or spacing issues with minimal movement required.

• Moderate cases: From £3,500
For patients needing moderate corrections, including bite alignment and rotation.

• Complex cases: From £3,999
Designed for significant crowding, bite issues, or more complex movements.

These fees apply whether you choose Invisalign or Angel Aligners and include your consultation, digital 3D scans, all aligners in your treatment plan, and final retainers to maintain your new smile.

With Priors Hall Dental, you’ll never face hidden charges. We’ll provide a full breakdown of costs before you begin treatment. If any additional dental work is needed (such as hygiene appointments or repairs), we’ll discuss this in advance.
 

Why Clear Aligners Are Worth the Investment

Whether you opt for Invisalign or Angel Aligners, the benefits of clear aligner treatment extend well beyond a straighter smile:

• Discreet and comfortable: Both brands offer virtually invisible aligners that are smooth, comfortable, and won’t irritate your cheeks or gums like traditional braces.

• Freedom to eat and clean easily: Remove your aligners for meals and oral hygiene, so there are no food restrictions or complicated cleaning routines.

• Advanced digital planning: See a preview of your new smile before you begin, with precise tracking of your progress throughout treatment.

• Fewer dental visits: With fewer emergencies and predictable progress checks, aligners fit perfectly into a busy lifestyle.

• Improved oral health: Straighter teeth are easier to clean, which helps reduce the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues.

• Increased confidence: A beautiful, straight smile can give you the boost you need in your personal and professional life.
