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 affects the total — treating both upper and lower costs more than one arch alone. Confirm whether a quote covers both before comparing.

Retainers close out treatment but aren't always in the headline fee — ask whether they're included or charged on top.

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

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