What You're Actually Paying For
Treatment type matters most. The gap between metal and lingual braces reflects real differences in materials, lab work and chair time.
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 are a recurring cost people forget; check whether the quote bundles them or adds them at the end.
Refinements (for aligner treatment) are the extra trays that finish the result. They should be included — ask explicitly before signing.
Practice location and overheads vary across Bayble — higher-rent locations charge more, which is exactly why comparing a few local quotes pays off.
How much do aligners cost in Bayble?
There is no single price for clear aligners in Bayble — it depends on several factors. Complexity, brand, refinement allowances and clinical input each pull the price up or down. Comparing quotes only makes sense once you know what each one covers.
