Legitimate affordable aligner treatment in Tanvats is available — the markers of genuine value include: an in-person or photo-based clinical assessment before quoting, a clear treatment plan with defined tooth movements, a named GDC-registered clinician overseeing the case, refinement allowances in writing, and retainers included in the base fee.
