Understanding What Your Quote Covers in Broad Clough

Some providers include unlimited refinements; others charge per additional set. Confirm this in writing before starting.

A fixed bonded retainer (wired behind the front teeth) typically costs £150–£350 per arch to fit; removable Essix retainers cost £80–£150 per arch, and a Vivera set £300–£500.
