What Clear Braces Actually Cost
Cost is usually the first question, so here are real numbers. At Sharon Springs Dental, Invisalign averages about $5,500 and CandidPro averages about $4,500. Your exact figure depends on how much your teeth need to move, and you get that number at the consultation, before any commitment.
We quote clear pricing with no surprises and no judgment. You will not get a vague range and a hard sell. You get your specific cost, your treatment time, and your payment options in plain terms.
Paying for Treatment Without Insurance
No dental insurance does not mean no clear braces. The practice runs an in-house membership plan that lowers your out-of-pocket cost, plus financing that spreads payments over time. New patients can also claim a $149 new patient special, which makes the first step affordable.
If you do carry insurance, many plans include an orthodontic benefit that offsets part of the cost. We check your specific orthodontic coverage at the consult and apply whatever your plan allows.
Reaching Us from Alpharetta
Alpharetta sits a straightforward drive up GA 400 from the Cumming office. From Avalon or downtown Alpharetta, take GA 400 north toward Forsyth County, exit toward Peachtree Parkway, and the practice sits at 1475 Peachtree Parkway. Alpharetta is one of the areas Sharon Springs Dental has served for years, so many patients already make this drive.
Coming from the Windward Parkway side, GA 400 north gets you to the Cumming exits quickly outside rush hour. Parking sits right at the building, so the visit stays efficient even when you are squeezing it between work and home.
How the Treatment Works
Clear aligners are a series of custom trays. Each tray nudges your teeth a planned amount, and you advance to the next about every two weeks. Dr. Friedman maps the entire sequence up front, so the movement follows a deliberate plan from start to finish.
The two systems differ in more than price. Invisalign covers a broad range of cases with periodic in-office checks. CandidPro adds remote monitoring, so you submit progress photos from your phone, which cuts down on trips up GA 400.
Who Should and Should Not Choose Aligners
Clear aligners suit adults and teens with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite issues who will wear the trays about 22 hours a day. If you keep them in and only remove them to eat and brush, the investment pays off.
Aligners are not a fit for every case. Severe bite problems, teeth needing major rotation, or untreated decay and gum disease usually require other treatment first. Spending money on the wrong tool helps no one, so Dr. Friedman tells you honestly if aligners will reach your goal.
What to Expect Day to Day
Each new tray feels snug for a day or two, then settles. You eat everything you normally would because the trays come out for meals, and you brush and floss as usual. Most people adjust within a week. At the end, a retainer holds your result, and the cost of that retainer is part of the conversation up front, not a surprise at the finish.
Meet Your Doctor
Dr. Michael C. Friedman, DDS, has spent more than 20 years moving teeth and rebuilding smiles, with roughly 20,000 patients treated. He earned his dental degree from New York University and is a third-generation dentist, so the work runs deep. For a page about outcomes, that track record matters: he has seen what a finished clear-braces case looks like thousands of times and plans yours toward that endpoint from day one.
He belongs to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the Spear Study Club, and he served on the board of the Alpha Omega Dental Society. He lives in Marietta with his family and spends his free time sailing on Lake Allatoona, playing tennis, and cooking for friends.

Local FAQ — Alpharetta, GA
Does the $149 new patient special apply toward clear braces?
A: The $149 special covers your new patient visit, which gets you in the door for an exam and conversation. Clear braces are quoted separately at your free consultation, with membership and financing options available. Ask the team how the pieces fit together for your situation.
Which insurance plans common in Alpharetta include orthodontic benefits?
A: Many Alpharetta employer plans, including those from large GA 400 corridor employers, carry partial orthodontic benefits, often with an age cap or lifetime maximum. We verify your specific orthodontic coverage at the consult so you know your real out-of-pocket cost before deciding.
Is it cheaper to choose CandidPro over Invisalign?
A: CandidPro averages about $4,500 and Invisalign about $5,500, so CandidPro often costs less. The right choice depends on your case, not only the price. Dr. Friedman recommends the system that fits your teeth and your routine at the consultation.
How long is the drive from Alpharetta, and is it worth it for the price?
A: Alpharetta sits a short drive up GA 400 from the Cumming office, with parking at the building. Many patients find the clear pricing and financing worth the trip, especially without local in-network coverage. Early weekday slots open at 7:30.
Can I finance treatment if I cannot pay the full cost up front?
A: Yes. Financing lets you spread payments over time, and the in-house membership plan reduces costs for patients without insurance. We walk through the numbers at your consult so the monthly figure is clear before you start.
