Why Quotes Vary So Much

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 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 should be clarified in every quote, since one-arch and two-arch treatment are priced very differently.

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 explain part of the spread: overheads differ practice to practice in Broadmoor, and shopping around is standard for private treatment.

Risks of Very Low-Cost Aligner Treatment

The greatest risk in very low-cost aligner treatment is mismatched case selection — where a treatment system designed for mild cases is applied to a more complex one. Signs that an aligner package may be cutting corners: no clinical X-rays requested before treatment, no in-person assessment at any stage, no mention of refinements or a very low refinement cap, retainers not included, and no clear escalation path if treatment isn't progressing as planned.
