Walnut Creek Clear Aligners
Clear aligner treatments, such as Angel Aligner and Invisalign®, use a series of custom-made plastic trays called aligners to gradually correct many types of malocclusions. These aligners were designed to provide an alternative to traditional metal braces, offering a discreet way to straighten teeth without brackets or wires.

EXPERIENCE OUR WALNUT CREEK ORTHODONTIC PRACTICE
At Schellinck Orthodontics, we offer modern clear aligner treatment options to help patients achieve a straighter, healthier smile. Clear aligners, such as Angel Aligner and Invisalign®, are custom-made, removable trays that gradually move teeth into their ideal position. Because they are nearly invisible, clear aligners have become a popular choice for patients seeking an alternative to traditional braces.
While we primarily provide Angel Aligner due to their effectiveness and comfort, we also offer Invisalign® upon request. Both options use advanced technology to deliver predictable results without the need for metal brackets or wires.
The benefits of clear aligners
Choosing clear aligners like Angel Aligner or Invisalign® offers several advantages over traditional braces:
Virtually Invisible – Made from clear plastic, aligners are discreet and allow you to straighten your teeth without the noticeable look of metal braces.
Comfortable Fit – Aligners are smooth and custom-designed to fit your teeth, reducing irritation caused by wires and brackets.
Removable Convenience – Clear aligners can be taken out for meals and cleaning, making it easier to maintain oral hygiene and enjoy your favorite foods.
Fewer Office Visits – Treatment often requires fewer checkups compared to braces, which is ideal for busy schedules.
Effective for Multiple Issues – Clear aligners can correct crooked teeth, spacing issues, crowding, and certain bite problems.
Angel Aligner and Invisalign® treat most of the same conditions that are treated by traditional braces. These include:
- Crooked Teeth
- Overbite
- Crossbite
- Malocclusion
- Underbite
- Open Bite
Why Choose Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a great solution for teens and adults who want to improve their smile without the challenges of traditional braces. At Schellinck Orthodontics, we focus on creating treatment plans that are comfortable, convenient, and tailored to each patient. Angel Aligner is our primary choice because of its proven effectiveness and patient satisfaction, while Invisalign® is available upon request for those who prefer that option.
With clear aligners, you can enjoy the benefits of a healthier, straighter smile with minimal impact on your daily life. Whether you are looking to close gaps, correct crowding, or address bite concerns, clear aligners offer an effective and discreet path toward achieving your goals.
Clear aligners are also removable. You can take the aligners on and off as needed. Though it is recommended that you spend at least 22+ hours a day with your aligners in place, you can remove these aligners to:
- Eat
- Brush Teeth
- Floss
- Drink
- Pose for a Camera
That means that Dr. Schellinck’s patients that use Angel Aligner and Invisalign have essentially no food restrictions and are able to continue with their oral hygiene in ways that are typically not possible with metal braces.
