What Affects Clear Aligner Cost in Clive Green?
Case complexity sets the baseline: the number of trays and the difficulty of the movements largely decide the fee. It's assessed in person, but an online screen can give you a rough steer first.
Aligner brand affects cost. Invisalign Comprehensive usually prices above clinic-own or third-party systems due to material, software and licensing. For simple cases, cheaper alternatives can match it; for complex cases, the premium more often reflects real clinical difference.
Provider overheads depend on where and who: a Clive Green high-street specialist carries different costs to a suburban GDP, and that shows in the quote alongside their case mix.
Inclusions decide whether a quote is really cheaper. Trays, attachments, refinements, retainers and reviews should all be in the base price; check each before you compare.
