Why Quotes Vary So Much

Treatment type matters most. The gap between metal and lingual braces reflects real differences in materials, lab work and chair time.

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 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 vary across Cholmondeston — higher-rent locations charge more, which is exactly why comparing a few local quotes pays off.
