What is Angel Aligner?

Angel Aligner is a clear aligner system. It is a series of thin, removable plastic trays, each shaped a little differently from the last, that move the teeth in small steps. It is made by Angelalign Technology Inc., a company founded in 2003 and headquartered in Shanghai, China, and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since 2021. Angelalign announced its United States launch in August 2023, and it reports more than 2 million cases treated worldwide (Angelalign 2025 annual results, March 2026).

In the United States, the aligners are cleared by the FDA through the 510(k) process for aligning teeth during orthodontic treatment (FDA clearances K203688, 2021, and K223517, 2023). Angel’s own patient guidance is to wear the trays 20 to 22 hours a day and to take them out to eat and to clean them.

How Angel Aligner treatment works at Fiesta

  1. An exam with an orthodontist. The orthodontist checks your teeth and bite and tells you whether aligners suit your case.
  2. A plan for the whole series of trays. The orthodontist reviews the planned tooth movements before the trays are made.
  3. Wearing the trays. You wear them 20 to 22 hours a day and move to each new tray on the schedule your orthodontist sets, with check-in visits at the office.
  4. A retainer at the end. A retainer holds the teeth in their new position once the tray series is finished.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Fiesta Orthodontics offer Angel Aligner?

Yes. Fiesta Orthodontics offers both Angel Aligner and Invisalign clear aligners at its West San Antonio office on Shaenfield Rd and its East San Antonio office on Summer Fest Dr.

Who makes Angel Aligner?

Angelalign Technology Inc., a company founded in 2003 and headquartered in Shanghai, China. It has been listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since 2021 and announced its United States launch in August 2023.

Is Angel Aligner FDA-cleared?

Yes. Angelalign’s clear aligners are cleared by the FDA through the 510(k) process, which is a clearance, not an approval. Clearance K203688 (2021) covers aligning teeth in patients with permanent teeth, and clearance K223517 (2023) covers permanent or mixed dentition.

How many hours a day do I wear Angel Aligner trays?

20 to 22 hours a day, according to Angel’s own patient guidance and its 2023 FDA clearance. The trays come out to eat and to clean your teeth. Your orthodontist sets how often you move to the next tray.

Is Angel Aligner the same as Invisalign?

No. They are clear aligner systems from two different companies: Angel Aligner from Angelalign Technology and Invisalign from Align Technology. Both use a series of removable plastic trays that the makers advise wearing 20 to 22 hours a day. Fiesta offers both, and the orthodontist recommends one after examining your teeth.

Does dental insurance cover Angel Aligner?

It depends on your plan’s orthodontic benefit. Fiesta Orthodontics is in-network with Delta Dental, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Guardian, Humana, MetLife and UnitedHealthcare, and verifies your benefits before treatment starts. Medicaid and CHIP are not accepted.

Can teenagers wear Angel Aligner?

The product is not limited to adults: Angel’s 2023 FDA clearance covers teeth alignment in permanent or mixed dentition. Whether aligners suit a particular teen depends on the bite and on wearing the trays 20 to 22 hours a day, and an orthodontist decides that at the exam.
