Early orthodontic care
Angel Aligner™ KiD in Knutsford
Angel Aligner™ KiD is a specialised orthodontic system designed for children in their transitional dentition phase. By addressing developing alignment issues early, this innovative system helps guide proper dental and jaw growth while preventing long-term complications.
What is Angel Aligner™ KiD?
Angel Aligner™ KiD is a nearly invisible orthodontic treatment tailored for children transitioning from baby teeth to permanent teeth. It focuses on interceptive care by correcting harmful oral habits, guiding proper tooth eruption, and supporting the natural development of the dental arch.

Quick answers to your questions
Can my child eat or drink with the aligners on?
Aligners should be removed during meals and when drinking anything other than water to prevent damage or staining.
How many hours per day should the aligners be worn?
For best results, aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene routines.
What happens if my child doesn’t wear the aligners as recommended?
Inconsistent wear may delay progress or affect the outcome of the treatment. It’s important to encourage regular use for optimal results.
Does my child still need to brush their teeth with aligners?
Absolutely! Good oral hygiene is crucial. Your child should brush and floss their teeth after meals before reinserting the aligners to keep their teeth and aligners clean.
