Frequently asked questions about financing

Yes, absolutely. The majority of our patients choose a monthly payment plan. An initial deposit is required at the start of treatment, then the balance is spread over interest-free monthly installments throughout the treatment. We adapt the plan to your budget during your consultation.

The cost of clear aligners is generally comparable to traditional braces. The final price depends more on the complexity of your case than on the type of appliance chosen.
