Advertising disclosure

SmileCosts is free to read. Here is exactly how the site is funded — in plain language.

How we make money

• Display advertising. Some pages show ads served by third-party ad networks. Ads are labeled and visually separated from our content.
• Partner links. Some guides contain links to products or services (for example, teeth-whitening products or dental clinics). If we may earn a commission when you buy or enquire through such a link, the link is clearly marked and disclosed on the page where it appears.

What we don't do

• We do not accept payment to change a price estimate, a ranking, or a recommendation.
• We do not promote or earn commissions from credit products, loans, financing plans, or insurance sign-ups.
• We do not write "sponsored" articles disguised as editorial content.

Why you can trust the numbers anyway

Our revenue depends on readers finding our research accurate and coming back — not on any particular provider being chosen. Advertisers have no access to content before publication and no say in what we publish. See our editorial policy for how estimates are built.
