Removable Clear Aligners in Barney

Pricing tracks case complexity more than brand. In Barney, expect aligners to sit close to brace pricing; the important comparison is what each quote includes, not the headline figure.

The trays must be in for 20–22 hours daily. Patients who hit that target finish on schedule; those who don't often need refinements to complete movements the main course missed.
