What Affects Orthodontic Costs?
Treatment type sets the baseline: the appliance you choose, from budget metal to premium lingual, largely decides the starting price before anything else.
Case complexity moves the price within any treatment type. A mild spacing case needs fewer appointments and less clinical time than a complex overbite correction with extractions.
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 are essential and sometimes billed separately (typically £80–£350 per arch, depending on type). Some practices include them; always confirm which.
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 Campton Village, and shopping around is standard for private treatment.
Aligner pricing in Campton Village explained
There is no single price for clear aligners in Campton Village — it depends on several factors. Case complexity, number of trays, refinements and aftercare all move the total. Understanding what sits behind the number is the key to comparing value properly.

Are retainers (both fixed bonded and removable) included? Are there charges for broken attachments or replacement aligners?
