What You're Actually Paying For

Treatment type sets the baseline: the appliance you choose, from budget metal to premium lingual, largely decides the starting price before anything else.

Case complexity adds to it regardless of appliance — more movement means more trays or adjustments, more visits, and more of the clinician's time.

Number of arches should be clarified in every quote, since one-arch and two-arch treatment are priced very differently.

Retainers close out treatment but aren't always in the headline fee — ask whether they're included or charged on top.

Refinements are the additional aligners often needed after the first series; confirm they're covered rather than charged per set.

Practice location and overheads vary across Badenyon — higher-rent locations charge more, which is exactly why comparing a few local quotes pays off.
