Though they take very different approaches, both clear aligners and veneers can deliver the smile you’ve always wanted. Aligners put pressure on the teeth to move them into new positions over time.

But how do the costs of these very different treatment options compare? That’s what we’re here to clear up. In this guide, we’ll outline the average prices of aligners and veneers, and explain some important things to keep in mind when calculating the lifetime treatment cost.

When you imagine your perfect smile after clear aligner treatment, chances are you’re most excited for one or two specific changes. Maybe you just want to straighten some crowding on your lower arch or close a gap between your top two teeth.

In this guide, we’ll explain who is a good candidate for “single-arch treatment,” which clear aligner services offer this treatment option, and whether or not it’s more affordable than straightening both arches at once.

In this guide, we will closely look at all the factors that contribute to the total cost of dental bonding treatment. By the end, you’ll have a better understanding of whether this treatment is right for your smile and your budget.
