Clear Aligners on Mercer Island
Transform your smile discreetly with clear aligner treatment at Islander Orthodontics
Looking for a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces? Clear aligners offer an innovative orthodontic solution that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle. At Islander Orthodontics on Mercer Island, Dr. Borda specializes in clear aligner treatment for teens and adults who want to straighten their teeth without the appearance and limitations of metal braces.
Clear aligner treatment uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible aligners to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next in the series, bringing you closer to your dream smile with every step.
Note: While many people search for "Invisalign" (a well-known brand name), Islander Orthodontics uses Angel Aligners—a premium clear aligner system trusted by orthodontists worldwide.
Angel Aligners offer the same discreet, effective teeth straightening as Invisalign, with advanced features including superior comfort technology, professional orthodontic oversight, and proven results with over 1 million smiles transformed worldwide.
What Are Angel Aligners?
Angel Aligners are a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses transparent, removable trays instead of traditional metal brackets and wires. Each aligner is custom-fabricated using advanced 3D imaging technology to ensure a precise fit and predictable results.
At Islander Orthodontics, we've chosen Angel Aligners for their superior quality and patient comfort. The aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free and latex-free plastic that is virtually invisible when worn. What sets Angel Aligners apart is their anti-reflective technology and proprietary angelButton™ feature—integrated buttons that provide superior comfort and ease of use, particularly for elastic attachments.
Unlike braces, Angel Aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and special occasions, offering unmatched flexibility and convenience. Each aligner is carefully trimmed and polished for maximum comfort throughout your treatment.
Angel Aligners can effectively address a wide range of orthodontic issues, from minor to complex cases, including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, deepbites, and openbites. With over 1 million smiles transformed worldwide and 20+ years of innovation, Angel Aligners are trusted by orthodontists to deliver exceptional results.
