The greatest risk in very low-cost aligner treatment is mismatched case selection — where a treatment system designed for mild cases is applied to a more complex one. 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.
