Are Clear Aligners Suitable For All Orthodontic Issues?
TABLE OF CONTENT

Clear aligner treatment is an investment, averaging $3,000 – $8,000 based on your orthodontic needs. While aligners cost more upfront compared to braces, payment plans are available to make this effective treatment more accessible:

Can clear aligners correct overbites and underbites?

  • In-office payment plans – Many orthodontists offer flexible monthly payments with no interest or fees. You pay a down payment, then smaller installments over 12-24 months.
  • Medical credit cards – Cards like CareCredit offer 6-24 month deferred or fixed interest financing for healthcare expenses like clear aligners based on applicant approval.
  • Personal payment plans – Companies like Affirm loan direct to consumers online and provide monthly payment schedule options for aligner treatment. Interest rates vary.
  • Dental insurance – Some dental insurance plans contribute a small portion, often $1,000 – $3,000, toward clear aligner costs depending on your benefits.

Discuss the most affordable payment or financing options for your budget with your orthodontist’s financial coordinator. With a little planning, clear aligners can be an obtainable route to a healthier, more confident smile.

Do clear aligners stain or discolor over time?
