Clear aligner prices in Jacksonville — the whole number, before any consult
Aligner pricing in this market comes in two flavors of vague: the "$99 a month" banner that never states a total, and the office that will gladly tell you the price — after a free consultation engineered to close you. Here are our figures instead, published before our doors even open: a full adult course is $3,900, the teen course is $3,700, and a limited course for minor crowding or post-braces relapse is $2,400. Refinements — the extra trays some cases need at the end — are inside every one of those numbers, not an add-on. With a Restoro membership the same courses run $3,315, $3,145, and $2,040.
One caveat and one boundary, both on purpose. The caveat: retainers after treatment are the single line we price separately — $450 for both arches, $385 for members — because we'd rather show you that line now than bury it in a bundle. The boundary: these are founding fee-schedule prices for our late-2026 opening in the Ponte Vedra–Nocatee corridor, and your case total is confirmed in writing before treatment starts. If your scan says the $2,400 course is enough, that's the course you'll be quoted — a published schedule exists precisely so the recommendation can't quietly follow the revenue.

What moves the price up or down
- Full course vs. limited course
- The biggest swing in aligner pricing: $3,900 versus $2,400. Teeth that were straight and drifted, or crowding confined to a few front teeth, usually resolve with the limited course in under six months. The 3D scan projects the movement on screen, so which course you need is a visible fact, not a judgment call you have to take on faith.
- Adult vs. teen course
- The teen course is $3,700 — $200 under the adult fee — and adds wear indicators, small marks that fade only with real use. Growing mouths also give the dentist slightly different planning options, which the scan visit sorts out before any number is quoted.
- Refinements: included here, an invoice elsewhere
- Many teeth need a final round of trays to fine-tune the last fraction of movement. Some offices and most mail-order brands price that round separately, which is how a low quote grows 10–20% at the finish line. Ours is inside the course fee — the published price is the finished-treatment price.
- Retainers when the course ends
- Teeth tend to drift back without retention, so retainers are part of the true cost of straight teeth — budget them from day one. Ours are $450 for both arches, $385 for members, kept as a deliberate separate line so you can see it now rather than discover it later.
- What your mouth needs first
- Aligners move healthy teeth. A cavity or inflamed gums get treated before trays — at published fee-schedule prices (a one-surface white filling is $195; a gingivitis cleaning is $160) — itemized in your written quote as their own lines, never folded into the course fee.
- Membership
- Any Restoro plan takes 15% off every course: $585 off the full adult course, $360 off the limited one. Plans run $39 a month for adults, and the first 500 members lock $29 a month for life — while the plan also covers the cleanings and exams that run alongside months of aligner treatment.
The membership math
Put the full adult course through the math: $3,900 standard versus $3,315 for members — $585 saved on one procedure. Founding 500 dues are $29 a month, $348 across the year, so the aligner discount alone clears your first year of membership with $237 left over. And since a course runs many months, the same plan keeps working while your teeth move: every cleaning, exam, X-ray, and per-visit whitening touch-up is covered, so the teeth you're straightening finish the course clean and bright with no side bills.
Questions, answered plainly
Does dental insurance cover clear aligners?
For adults, almost never — orthodontics is typically excluded from adult dental benefits outright. Teen plans sometimes carry a partial ortho benefit with a lifetime cap, and we'll help you check yours. But plan around the published number rather than a hoped-for reimbursement; the only discount that's guaranteed is the membership's 15% off any course.
Why do the online aligner brands look cheaper?
Because you're comparing their sticker to our total. Mail-order pricing often treats refinements and retainers as extras and replaces in-person supervision with photos you upload yourself. Our fee includes the dentist-read scan, every progress check, and refinements — so compare finished-treatment totals, not banners, and the gap shrinks fast.
What do the progress checks during my course cost?
Nothing beyond the course fee. Checks happen every six to ten weeks, walk-in between 7am and 7pm any day, and usually run shorter than our standard 31-minute visit. There is no per-visit charge quietly ticking underneath your treatment.
Is there a fee just to find out my price?
The scan visit rides on a comprehensive new-patient exam — $95, free for members — and produces your 3D projection plus an exact written quote in the same sitting. If aligners aren't right for your case, you'll be told so plainly, and $95 is the full extent of what the question cost you.
How do I know if I'm a $2,400 case or a $3,900 case?
If your teeth were straight once and drifted, or the crowding is limited to a few teeth, the $2,400 limited course is genuinely common — it exists because so many adults fit it. The scan settles the question in one visit, on screen, and the course the scan supports is the course we quote.
Come in when it works for you.
