Braces or clear aligners?
Fixed braces remain the reference for complex bite correction and do not rely on 22-hour daily wear; they are often the more cost-effective option for complex cases.
Clear aligners suit mild to moderate cases where discretion matters and the wearer is disciplined; the fee is similar or $500-$2,000 above braces for the same case.
