What Affects Orthodontic Costs?

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 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 (for aligner treatment) are the extra trays that finish the result. They should be included — ask explicitly before signing.

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