What patients mean by clear braces
Some patients use clear braces to describe ceramic fixed braces. Others mean removable clear aligners. The right comparison starts by clarifying which option is being quoted.
Cost drivers
Ceramic materials, aligner stages, appointment schedule, bite complexity, refinements, and retainers can all affect the final fee.
What to ask before choosing
Ask whether the quote includes all records, emergency visits, attachments or brackets, refinements, retainers, and post-treatment checks.
