Angel Aligners
Everyone deserves a confident, healthy smile, and now, we’re delighted to offer Angel Aligners as part of our clear aligner orthodontic options. Our clinics in Donnybrook (South Dublin), Carlow, Athy and Rathdrum are fully equipped to provide you with advanced, bespoke clear aligner treatment in a friendly, patient-focused environment.
​
If you’re seeking a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces, whether for minor alignment, crowding, or a full smile makeover, Angel Aligners may be the perfect solution for you.
What Are Angel Aligners?
Angel Aligners are custom-made, removable, clear trays that fit snugly over your teeth. Unlike traditional braces, they don’t use metal brackets or wires. Instead, they rely on a series of transparent aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position.
​
The aligners feature a "dual-material" system (often referred to as a “7+3” approach): initially, a flexible aligner worn for seven days, followed by a firmer aligner for three days. This method aims to combine gentle tooth movement with precise control, often leading to more efficient treatment than conventional clear aligners.
​
Angel Aligner’s inbuilt “angelButton” design allows for integrated elastics and attachments. This means that for cases needing more complex tooth movement, such as bite correction, treatment can proceed without the need for frequent adjustments.

Reasons to Choose Us
Discreet & Comfortable
-
Transparent and virtually invisible, perfect if you want to straighten your teeth without the obvious look of braces.
-
Smooth plastic trays are gentle on gums and cheeks, with no metal brackets to irritate soft tissue — a more pleasant experience than traditional braces.
Removable & Convenient
-
You can remove the aligners to eat, drink, brush, and floss. This flexibility allows you to maintain your normal routines, enjoy all foods, and keep oral hygiene simple.
-
Discreet aligners mean you can attend important social events, work meetings, or family gatherings without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment.
Efficient
-
The dual-material “7+3” system offers more controlled tooth movement — often meaning faster overall treatment compared with some other aligner systems.
-
Integrated elastics/attachments (angelButton) allow us to address more complex cases, including bite issues, crowding, spacing, crossbites, deep overbites/overjets, and more, while maintaining the convenience of a removable aligner system.
Transparent Pricing
At The Dental Suite, we pride ourselves on transparent pricing and flexible Humm payment options. Our existing clear-aligner treatment plans demonstrate our commitment to delivering high-quality at competitive rates.


Our Treatment Process
-
Consultation & 3D Scan — We begin with a thorough dental assessment and a digital 3D scan of your teeth and jaws. This allows us to tailor your treatment plan precisely.
-
Custom Treatment Plan — Using your scan, our orthodontist designs a bespoke treatment path. If Angel Aligners are chosen, we determine the series of aligners needed to achieve your desired outcome.
-
Fitting & Instruction — Receive your first set of aligners and instructions on how and when to wear them. We walk you through care, removal, cleaning, and best practices for comfort.
-
Wearing & Progression — Typically, you wear each set according to the dual-material protocol (e.g. seven days soft aligner, followed by three days firmer aligner). Aligners should be worn for approximately 20–22 hours per day, removed only for eating, drinking (other than water) and oral hygiene — similar to standard clear-aligner wear time.
-
Regular Check-ups — Periodic appointments allow us to monitor tooth movement, check aligner fit, and make any necessary adjustments.
-
Retention Phase — Once active treatment is complete, retainers may be advised to maintain your new smile.
