What you pay for clear aligners in Caledon reflects the case, not just the brand. Two quotes at the same headline price can include very different levels of clinical input. Comparing quotes only makes sense once you know what each one covers.
Understanding What Your Quote Covers in Caledon
The most common source of cost disputes after aligner treatment in Caledon relates to refinements — the additional trays made after the original series to fine-tune the result. Some providers include unlimited refinements; others charge per additional set. Confirm this in writing before starting.
Retainer costs are frequently underestimated. 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. These should be included in a comprehensive treatment fee — ask specifically if they are.
