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

How Aligner Treatment Works in Crossbush

A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Crossbush model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.

Aligners are worn 20–22 hours a day, out only for eating, drinking anything but water, and brushing. Compliance is everything — falling short slows treatment and can stop the trays fitting.

Review appointments in Crossbush are typically every 7–10 weeks. At each visit the clinician checks progress and hands over the next trays; some practices add app-based remote monitoring to cut in-person visits.
