Aligner Answers is an independent consumer resource. This policy explains how we research, compare, and maintain our content.
How we research
We start with primary sources: brand websites, published fee schedules, and provider quotes. We cross-check prices against more than one source before publishing, and every price we cite names its source.
How brand comparisons are made
Our brand comparisons use the same criteria for every brand: typical price range, what is included in that price, treatment scope (mild versus complex cases), financing options, and how the process works. We compare like with like — the same case type and the same inclusions — so a difference in price actually means something. Comparison rankings are never for sale.
No paid placement
No brand pays to be listed, ranked, or reviewed on Aligner Answers. We do not accept payment for placement in comparisons or guides.
Update cadence
We review our cost guides and brand comparisons on a regular schedule and update them when prices or plan structures change. Each guide shows when it was last updated.
Corrections
If you spot an error, tell us at info@clearalignerscost.site or through our contact form. We investigate every correction request, fix confirmed errors promptly, and note significant corrections on the page.
