Ready to see if clear aligners are right for your smile?
Angel Aligners are a revolutionary orthodontic treatment using clear, custom-molded trays to gradually straighten teeth. Instead of brackets and wires, you’ll wear nearly invisible aligners that are perfectly tailored to your smile. Plus, with features like AngelButtons™, the first integrated button for elastics, you’ll experience fewer emergency appointments and a smoother treatment process.
The process begins with 3D digital scans of your mouth that let us design a precise treatment plan for you. You’ll then receive a series of aligners that you’ll have to wear 22 hours a day for about two weeks before progressing to the next set. Over time, your teeth will move into alignment, revealing a beautifully straight smile.
Angel Aligners bring unique advantages that make straightening your teeth more enjoyable:
Forget metal brackets! Angel Aligners let you smile confidently throughout your treatment.
Each aligner is made for your unique dental structure and polished for a snug fit that feels natural.
Enjoy the flexibility to eat, brush, and floss without restrictions. No off-limits foods here!
The innovative AngelButtons™ reduce emergency visits, making treatment more convenient.
With over 20 years of experience and more than a million smiles transformed, Angel Aligners have a track record you can trust.
Clear aligners can be a great option for patients of all ages who want a more discreet way to straighten their teeth. At Dyer Orthodontics, aligners may be used to address a range of common orthodontic concerns, including slightly crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites.
Because every smile and bite is different, the best way to know whether aligners are right for you is to schedule an orthodontic evaluation, where Dr. Dyer can assess tooth alignment, bite relationships, and overall treatment needs before recommending the best option.
Clear aligners can be great, but they certainly aren’t the only way to straighten your smile. Dyer Orthodontics also offers braces for patients who may prefer a more traditional treatment option or need a different approach based on their orthodontic needs. With metal, clear ceramic, and gold braces available, Dr. Dyer can help you compare your options and recommend the treatment that best fits your smile, lifestyle, and goals.
While every treatment plan is personalized, the clear aligner process generally includes these four steps:
1. Consultation
Your treatment begins with a consultation with Dr. Dyer. We’ll evaluate your teeth, bite, and orthodontic needs and discuss what you’d like to achieve with treatment. If clear aligners are a good fit, we’ll explain your personalized treatment plan and answer your questions before you get started.
2. Fitting Your Clear Aligners
Next, our team will gather the information needed to create aligners customized to your smile. Once your aligners are ready, we’ll make sure they fit properly and explain how to wear and care for them. You’ll also learn when to switch to the next set in your series.
3. Adjustments and Progress Checks
As treatment progresses, you’ll move through your prescribed series of aligners, with each set helping guide your teeth toward their planned positions. You’ll return to Dyer Orthodontics for periodic check-ins so Dr. Dyer can monitor your progress and make adjustments to your treatment plan when needed.
4. Retention
Once you’ve completed active clear aligner treatment, retention helps maintain your new tooth positions. Dr. Dyer will recommend a retainer based on your individual needs and explain when and how long to wear it. Following your retention plan is an important part of protecting the progress you’ve made.
From feeling comfortable in our office to feeling confident in their care, our patients’ experiences say a lot. Read real patient reviews to see why families throughout the Birmingham area choose Dyer Orthodontics.
At Dyer Orthodontics, Angel Aligner treatment can cost around $6,400, though your final cost will depend on your individual treatment needs. We know orthodontic care is an important investment and don’t want cost to be a barrier to quality care, so our team will always work with you to make treatment more manageable.
We accept insurance benefits when applicable and offer flexible in-house payment plans, as well as different discount options. HSA and FSA funds may also be used toward eligible orthodontic expenses. During your consultation, we’ll review your estimated treatment cost and available payment options so you can make an informed decision without surprises.

Clear aligners typically need to be worn 22 hours a day to keep treatment progressing as planned. You’ll remove them for activities such as eating, drinking certain beverages, brushing, and flossing. Dr. Dyer will give you specific instructions based on your personalized treatment plan.
One advantage of removable clear aligners is that you can take them out when you eat, allowing you to enjoy your usual foods without brackets or wires getting in the way. You’ll want to follow Dr. Dyer’s instructions for aligner care and keep your teeth clean before putting your aligners back in.
Clear aligner treatment time varies because every patient has different orthodontic needs. Factors such as the type and complexity of tooth movement can affect your overall timeline. After evaluating your teeth and bite, Dr. Dyer can provide a more personalized estimate of how long your Angel Aligner treatment may take.
Clear aligners may be an option for several common orthodontic concerns, including slightly crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. However, aligners aren’t necessarily the right approach for every smile. An orthodontic evaluation with Dr. Dyer can determine which treatment option is appropriate for your specific needs.
