Where the Savings Come From in Arowry
Treatment scope — short-series aligners for mild front-tooth alignment legitimately cost less: fewer trays, fewer appointments, less complexity. A simple crowding case can be well served by an entry-level system.
Reduced refinements — a defined refinement allowance instead of open-ended refinements is a frequent difference; the gap reappears if your result needs more trays than the cap allows.
Remote-first models — a mainly online model trims cost but also trims supervision, which matters most when a case doesn't track as planned.
Clinic-own or lesser-known brands — a lesser-known system isn't automatically worse; for the right case it can deliver comparable results in Arowry at a lower price point.
