What Affects Orthodontic Costs?
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 is an easy thing to miss: a single-arch quote will look cheaper than a dual-arch one, so check like for like.
Retainers are essential and sometimes billed separately (typically £80–£350 per arch, depending on type). Some practices include them; always confirm which.
Refinements are the additional aligners often needed after the first series; confirm they're covered rather than charged per set.
Practice location and overheads push city-centre fees above suburban ones. Bridge of Tilt usually has practices at several price points, so two or three quotes are worthwhile.
