What You're Actually Paying For
Treatment type matters most. The gap between metal and lingual braces reflects real differences in materials, lab work and chair time.
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 affects the total — treating both upper and lower costs more than one arch alone. Confirm whether a quote covers both before comparing.
Retainers close out treatment but aren't always in the headline fee — ask whether they're included or charged on top.
Refinements are the additional aligners often needed after the first series; confirm they're covered rather than charged per set.
Practice location and overheads explain part of the spread: overheads differ practice to practice in Broad Clough, and shopping around is standard for private treatment.
Cost Context for Broad Clough
As a guide, private full fixed brace treatment in Broad Clough usually ranges from £1,500 to £5,500. Case complexity — not just preference — is usually what determines whether aligners or fixed braces are recommended.
