Clear Aligner Academy Chooses Sunbit to Provide Patient Financing Technology for Its Members

The American Academy of Clear Aligners (AACA) has chosen patient financing company Sunbit as its preferred patient financing partner for use in its members' practices across the United States in 2024.
As the selected financing partner, Sunbit—a company focused on building financial technology for everyday expenses—will be in the position to provide clear aligner patients with payment services to give them access to this important life-enhancing medical technology.
"The AACA brings together the most accomplished and knowledgeable clear aligner experts in the industry," Robert Nunziato, head of strategic alliances for Sunbit, says in a press release. "We are honored to be chosen as a preferred financing solution and look forward to bringing our technology to more practices and providing patients with access to the smile they deserve."
AACA founder and president David Galler, DDS, anticipates the popularity of clear aligner therapy to continue to grow in the new year.
"In 2024, we expect increased patient demand for clear aligners. Helping AACA practitioners remove financial barriers for their patients is a key strategic goal of the Academy," Dr Galler adds in the press release. "In Sunbit, we have found a simple, easy, and fast platform to achieve those goals."
More than 10,000 dental practices of all sizes rely on Sunbit's leading financial technology to access fast and simple financing. The company’s transparent and flexible payment options are designed to ease the administrative burden for practices while providing transparency to the consumer and eliminating unexpected fees and lengthy applications. By controlling the application and collection processes, Sunbit looks to remove a significant headache from these practices.

In addition to serving dental offices, Sunbit works with auto dealership service centers, optical practices, veterinary clinics, and specialty healthcare services.
