Affordable clear aligners in Church Houses

'Affordable' and 'cheap' are meaningfully different when it comes to aligner treatment in Church Houses. The saving is fine when it matches a simple case; it's a risk when it means less clinical input. A photo assessment first tells you whether a budget option even suits your case.

Signs that an aligner package may be cutting corners: no clinical X-rays requested before treatment, no in-person assessment at any stage, no mention of refinements or a very low refinement cap, retainers not included, and no clear escalation path if treatment isn't progressing as planned.
