Blue marks the lower price only where every compared price is quoted the same way (a monthly price in US dollars); prices quoted in another currency, as a one-time fee or as a provider-set range are shown exactly as stated and never converted. Adverse-event figures are raw counts of reports filed with the FDA, not rates (what the reports mean). Each spec value opens that brand's spec sheet, and its numbered sources verify the specs as a set. None of this is a recommendation: the right choice depends on your case, your budget and, above all, an in-person exam by a dentist or orthodontist.

The bottom line

What actually differs

  • Neither is marked lower, since only monthly prices quoted in US dollars are ranked against each other: Flash Aligners ₹60,000-95,000 and OrthoFX $2,000-5,500 (provider-set).
  • Typical treatment differs: Flash Aligners 4-6 months and OrthoFX 6-18 months.

InvisibleBraces is an informational data platform, not a dentist, an orthodontist, or a seller of aligners. Nothing here is dental or medical advice, a diagnosis, or a recommendation to start, stop, or change any treatment. At-home clear aligners are not right for every case, and moving teeth without an in-person exam carries real risk. Data is aggregated from public sources and each brand's own terms and can be incomplete or out of date. Always consult a licensed dentist or orthodontist and confirm current prices and terms with the provider.

Some outbound links on this site are referral links. If you sign up or buy through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes the price you pay or the underlying data. Partner status is one bounded, disclosed signal in how we order results: all else equal it can lift a partner above a comparable option, but it is capped so a clearly cheaper or better-reviewed option still ranks first, and every partner is labeled.

Start method
Live intraoral scan with a 3Shape TRIOS scanner at the certified orthodontist (no putty impressions)
In-office consultation with a licensed dentist or orthodontist, including a 3D intraoral digital scan and diagnostic records; the provider designs the plan and fits the aligners (a provider 'Try It' sample kit is also offered before committing)
Material
Trays thermoformed over 3D-printed models of the teeth; the polymer is not named (the brand calls it medical-grade and BPA-free)
Proprietary polymers by product: AirFlex uses a patented HyperElastic multi-copolymer engineered for sustained gentle force and reduced 9 to 12 hour daily wear; FXClear uses the tri-layer FXTetra polymer (two tough outer layers that resist bruxing plus an elastomeric inner layer for comfort), durable and stain-resistant; FXBright is a translucent aligner that brightens tooth appearance without whitening gels
Retainers

Whitening
Not published
FXBright aligners give teeth a whiter appearance without whitening gels; other whitening is at the provider's discretion
Refinements / touch-ups

Guarantee
Not published (the home page shows 'Guaranteed Satisfaction' with no terms)
No manufacturer money-back satisfaction guarantee to consumers; free replacement of broken aligners and a prorated refund for unused aligners, with any results guarantee set by the individual provider
Clinical oversight
In-office: a Flash-certified orthodontist directs treatment in person; Flash's orthodontic team drafts the plan for the doctor's approval
Doctor-directed: an in-person consultation and periodic office visits about every 6 to 8 weeks, with FXOnTrack AI remote monitoring and virtual check-ins between visits
Financing
Set by each clinic; Flash's 2026 guide says most certified clinics offer no-cost EMI of 5,000 to 7,000 rupees a month
FXPay patient financing: plans from about $99/month, 0% APR options, no or low down payment, up to $10,000, with instant approval, subject to credit approval (checking your plan does not affect your credit score; offered through the provider); a 98% approval rate is advertised
HSA / FSA
Not applicable (India; US HSA/FSA does not apply)
Generally HSA/FSA eligible as orthodontic treatment; depends on the provider and plan
Insurance
Flash's 2026 guide says some premium corporate and dental insurance plans may cover orthodontic treatment when medically necessary, and tells patients to check with their provider.
Often covered under orthodontic benefits (dental insurance with orthodontic coverage typically covers about $1,000 to $2,500); coverage varies by plan and provider
