Clear aligner cost in Frenze varies considerably from case to case. Complexity, brand, refinement allowances and clinical input each pull the price up or down. What's included matters more than the sticker price when you compare providers.
What Drives Aligner Pricing in Frenze
Case complexity moves the price more than anything else — a short mild course is a fraction of a complex full-arch treatment with mid-course corrections. Only a clinician can grade it, though a photo review hints at it early.
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 differ across Frenze: premises costs, and whether you see a specialist or a general dentist, both feed into the fee. Higher isn't automatically better, but specialists tend to take on the harder cases.
Inclusions are the largest hidden variable. A full quote should cover every tray, attachments, all refinements, both retainer types and follow-ups. Anything missing from the base fee can add hundreds later.

Questions to Ask Before Accepting a Quote in Frenze
Before signing a treatment agreement with any provider in Frenze, ask: Does the fee include unlimited refinements or is there a defined cap? Are retainers (both fixed bonded and removable) included?
