Invisalign Payment Plans: How Financing Works at Your Dentist
Short answer: After your dentist quotes your Invisalign fee in writing, many ClearlyClear practices offer monthly payment plans through financing partners such as Healthcare Finance Direct (HFD). Approval, terms, and amounts come from your dentist's office - ClearlyClear is not a lender.
You should see your written Invisalign fee before you talk about monthly payments. At ClearlyClear practices, the consult comes first; financing is there to remove an obstacle - not to define the visit.
ClearlyClear is not a lender. Payment plans are offered through your dentist's office via partners such as Healthcare Finance Direct (HFD) where enrolled.

Common questions
Can I pay for Invisalign monthly?
Many participating practices offer monthly payment plans after you accept treatment and receive a written fee. Availability, APR, and approval are set by the practice and its financing partners - not by ClearlyClear.
What is HFD in relation to ClearlyClear?
Healthcare Finance Direct (HFD) is a patient financing option many ClearlyClear practices use under a network-level arrangement. Your dentist's office presents terms; ClearlyClear is not the lender.
Do I need financing to get a consult?
No. The free consult is about candidacy and a written fee. Financing is optional and discussed after you know the treatment price.
Does ClearlyClear offer $0 down?
Down payment requirements depend on the practice and financing partner approval. Ask your dental office what options you qualify for after your written quote - do not rely on generic marketing numbers.
Where can I learn about practice economics?
The /economics page explains how financing and administrative services work for recruiting dentists - it is not a patient price list.
Ready for a written price from your dentist? Book a free consult - your dentist examines you in person, quotes your fee in writing, and approves and prescribes your treatment plan.
