What You're Actually Paying For

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

Retainers are essential and sometimes billed separately (typically £80–£350 per arch, depending on type). Some practices include them; always confirm which.

Refinements can quietly inflate an aligner bill if capped, so pin down the refinement policy up front.

Practice location and overheads vary across Castle Gresley — higher-rent locations charge more, which is exactly why comparing a few local quotes pays off.
