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 is the second big lever: the harder the case, the longer the course and the higher the fee, whatever you're treated with.
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 a recurring cost people forget; check whether the quote bundles them or adds them at the end.
Refinements (for aligner treatment) are the extra trays that finish the result. They should be included — ask explicitly before signing.
Practice location and overheads push city-centre fees above suburban ones. Broginin usually has practices at several price points, so two or three quotes are worthwhile.
