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 is the second big lever: the harder the case, the longer the course and the higher the fee, whatever you're treated with.

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 can quietly inflate an aligner bill if capped, so pin down the refinement policy up front.

Practice location and overheads explain part of the spread: overheads differ practice to practice in Bonning Gate, and shopping around is standard for private treatment.
