Cost Context for Bont

What You're Actually Paying For
Treatment type is the biggest driver. Metal is cheapest, ceramic more, aligners and lingual more again — each appliance has different manufacture, fitting and adjustment costs.
Case complexity moves the price within any treatment type. A mild spacing case needs fewer appointments and less clinical time than a complex overbite correction with extractions.
Number of arches is an easy thing to miss: a single-arch quote will look cheaper than a dual-arch one, so check like for like.
Retainers close out treatment but aren't always in the headline fee — ask whether they're included or charged on top.
Refinements can quietly inflate an aligner bill if capped, so pin down the refinement policy up front.
Practice location and overheads vary across Bont — higher-rent locations charge more, which is exactly why comparing a few local quotes pays off.
How much do aligners cost in Bont?
Aligner pricing in Bont is driven by more than the headline figure. Two quotes at the same headline price can include very different levels of clinical input. Understanding what sits behind the number is the key to comparing value properly.
