Clear Aligners: A Clear Alternative
You’ve worked hard to build a professional image and deserve an orthodontic treatment that’s as sophisticated as you are. With Clear Aligners from Dr. Vacek, you can have beautifully straight teeth without the hassle and time commitment of traditional orthodontics. Clear Aligners moves your teeth using a series of clear aligners that are subtle and effective. Best of all, treatment times are shorter than with metal braces.
The Clear Aligners process is straightforward and simple. First, digital impressions of your teeth will be taken and submitted to a certified Clear Aligners lab. Your custom aligners will be created and sent back to our office for distribution. Dr. Vacek will take the time to sit down with you and discuss the proper way to use your aligners, ensuring optimal results from the very start. You simply wear your aligners for a predetermined amount of time (usually about two weeks) before moving on to the next set in the series. Before you know it, your new, straighter smile will begin to develop before your eyes.

Understanding the Cost of Clear Aligners
Clear Aligners is widely known for its discreet appearance, lack of dietary restrictions, and shorter treatment timelines. What many patients want to know, however, is how much it costs. Truthfully, finding an answer online can be difficult because each case is so unique. Don’t worry – there are some factors that play a role in the price across the board. Keep reading to learn what they are!
Factors That Affect the Cost of Clear Aligners
From start to finish, there are a few factors that impact the cost of Clear Aligners, including:
- The severity of the misalignment. This will determine how many aligners are needed and if any extra accessories are necessary.
- Whether you are straightening one or both arches. Naturally, straightening both arches of teeth costs more than just one.
- Your compliance with treatment. If you fall off-track with your treatment plan due to misplacing your aligners or not wearing them for 22 hours a day, you need to factor in the cost of additional Clear Aligners trays.
Clear Aligners vs. Smile Direct Club™: Which Costs More?
Smile Direct Club™ is one of many DIY orthodontics brands that market themselves as a cost-effective Clear Aligners alternative. With a $2,000 price tag, the claims about the upfront cost are certainly true. However, cheaper isn’t always better, especially when it comes to something as important as your smile. While Clear Aligners can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $8,000, they are reliable, effective, and trustworthy. Furthermore, they are comprised of high-quality materials, are backed by professional organizations, and are supervised by a licensed dental team that genuinely cares about you and your oral health.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Clear Aligners?
In some cases, yes! Some dental plans have a once-in-a-lifetime orthodontic provision. Simply put, that means this coverage can only be used once and does not renew each year. If you are unsure of the fine print on your dental plan, then don’t hesitate to ask our team! Our knowledgeable staff is familiar with plans from many of the nation’s leading providers, can file the claim on your behalf, and can help you understand your out-of-pocket expenses so the financial component of your Clear Aligners treatment is as stress-free as possible.
