Clear aligner cost in Bracora
There is no single price for clear aligners in Bracora — it depends on several factors. Complexity, brand, refinement allowances and clinical input each pull the price up or down. Understanding what sits behind the number is the key to comparing value properly.

Case complexity is the single biggest driver. A mild case of 14–20 trays costs far less than a full-arch case needing 40+ trays and an extended refinement phase. Complexity is judged at examination, but a remote assessment gives an early indication.
