A course of fixed braces typically means 10 to 20 visits (a consultation, the fitting, 7 to 17 adjustments and the removal), which from here comes to about 1,100 to 2,210 miles and 32 to 63 hours on the road. At the 45p a mile HMRC uses for business driving, that is roughly £495 to £995 in running costs.
