Why POP Smiles Uses Angel Aligners

Not all clear aligner systems are the same, and at POP Smiles we have made a deliberate choice to work with Angel Aligners as our clinical standard. Angel Aligners are fabricated using SmartTrack material, which is designed for consistent, controlled tooth movement and a comfortable fit throughout each stage of treatment. Because we use the iTero digital scanning system in-house, there are no messy traditional impressions. Your scan is taken chairside, and the resulting 3D model forms the precise foundation for your custom aligner series. This level of accuracy matters, especially when treatment plans involve multiple stages of movement. Our orthodontist reviews every case personally, drawing on more than three decades of clinical experience to ensure your aligner plan is realistic, efficient, and right for your bite.

How Treatment Works

A Straightforward Process from Scan to Smile

Treatment with Angel Aligners at our Pennington office follows a clear, structured process. It begins with an iTero digital scan that captures a highly accurate 3D model of your teeth. From that model, a series of custom aligner trays is fabricated, each one designed to shift your teeth incrementally toward the target position. You wear each set of trays as directed, then progress to the next set in the series. Throughout treatment, you return to our office for progress checkups on a six-week schedule, which keeps appointments efficient for busy families and working adults. At each visit, our team confirms that your teeth are tracking correctly and addresses any adjustments needed. Once your final tray is complete, retainers are provided to hold your results and prevent orthodontic relapse.

Who Is a Good Candidate

Clear Aligners for Teens and Adults

Angel Aligners are a strong option for teens and adults who want effective orthodontic correction without the visibility of metal brackets. They work well for patients dealing with crooked, misaligned, or crowded teeth, as well as certain bite issues and spacing concerns. Because the trays are removable, they do not interfere with eating or daily oral hygiene routines. For patients who have previously had braces and experienced orthodontic relapse, clear aligners can also serve as a path back to alignment. Our team will evaluate your bite during a consultation and let you know whether Angel Aligners are the right fit for your specific case, or whether another orthodontic approach, such as traditional metal or ceramic braces, would serve you better. Every recommendation is based on your clinical needs, not a one-size approach.

The POP Smiles Difference

Orthodontic Care Built on 35 Years of Experience

What sets POP Smiles apart from a standalone orthodontic office is the depth of care available in a single location. Our orthodontist has more than 35 years of clinical experience, and our practice manager Antoinette Slavin has been part of the team for 31 years. That kind of continuity means patients and families are cared for by people who genuinely know them. Beyond experience, we offer pediatric dentistry and general dental care alongside orthodontics, so your family does not need to manage relationships with multiple separate offices. Our bright, welcoming environment in Pennington is designed to feel comfortable for patients of all ages, from young children on their first visit to adults investing in a long-term smile. Payment plans are available to help make treatment accessible, and sibling discounts apply for families with multiple children in orthodontic care.

Clear Aligner Questions

Common Questions About Angel Aligners at POP Smiles

  • What brand of clear aligners does POP Smiles use?

    POP Smiles uses Angel Aligners as its clear aligner system of choice. This is a deliberate clinical decision, and the practice no longer works with other aligner brands. Angel Aligners are made from SmartTrack material, which is designed to deliver controlled, consistent tooth movement at each stage of treatment. All aligner cases at POP Smiles are planned and overseen by an orthodontist with more than 35 years of clinical experience.

  • How does POP Smiles take impressions for clear aligners?

    Instead of traditional putty impressions, POP Smiles uses the iTero digital scanning system. A small wand is moved around the inside of your mouth to capture a precise 3D model of your teeth and bite. The process is fast, comfortable, and produces a highly accurate digital record that is used to design your custom aligner trays. There is no gagging or mess involved, and the scan is completed chairside during your appointment.

  • How often do I need to come in for checkups during aligner treatment?

    Patients on an Angel Aligner treatment plan at POP Smiles return for progress checkups approximately every six weeks. These visits allow the orthodontist to confirm that your teeth are moving as planned and to address any questions or minor adjustments. The six-week interval is designed to be efficient for patients with busy schedules, whether you are a working adult or a parent managing multiple family appointments. The total number of visits depends on the complexity of your individual case.

  • Can clear aligners correct teeth that have shifted after previous braces treatment?

    Yes. Orthodontic relapse, meaning teeth shifting back toward their original positions after braces, is a common concern. Angel Aligners can be an effective option for patients who need to correct relapse and restore alignment. The treatment approach is the same as for a first-time aligner patient: an iTero scan, a custom series of trays, and a structured progression through each stage. Our orthodontist will evaluate the extent of the relapse during a consultation to confirm whether aligners are the right fit for your specific situation.

  • Are clear aligners a good option for teenagers?

    Angel Aligners can work well for teens, depending on the nature of their orthodontic needs and their ability to wear the trays consistently as directed. Because the trays are removable, they do not interfere with eating or brushing, which many teens appreciate. However, compliance is an important factor since the trays need to be worn for the prescribed number of hours each day to be effective. Our orthodontist will assess whether aligners or traditional braces are the better clinical fit during the initial consultation.

  • Do you offer payment plans for clear aligner treatment?

    Yes, payment plans are available at POP Smiles to help make orthodontic treatment more accessible. The practice also offers sibling discounts for families who have more than one child in orthodontic treatment at the same time. Specific pricing for clear aligner treatment is not listed publicly, as costs vary based on the complexity of each individual case.

  • What happens after I finish my last aligner tray?

    Once you complete your final aligner tray, retainers are provided to maintain your results. Retainers are a critical part of any orthodontic outcome because they prevent teeth from drifting back toward their pre-treatment positions over time. POP Smiles also offers relapse care and replacement retainers for patients who need them down the road. Wearing your retainer as directed by the orthodontist is the most reliable way to protect the investment you made in your smile.

  • Does POP Smiles offer traditional braces if clear aligners are not the right fit?

    Yes. POP Smiles offers traditional metal braces as well as ceramic braces for patients whose cases are better suited to fixed appliances. Not every orthodontic situation is ideal for clear aligners, and our orthodontist will give you an honest assessment of which option is most appropriate for your bite and treatment goals. Having both options available in the same Pennington office means you do not need to seek a second opinion elsewhere if your plan needs to change.
