Getting orthodontic treatment from Churchbank
Churchbank is a long way from a practice: the nearest we list is Bayston Hill Dental Practice in Shrewsbury, 21.3 miles away. Starting with a remote assessment, and asking any practice how few visits a plan can be built around, avoids journeys you do not need.

A course of fixed braces typically means 10 to 20 visits (a consultation, the fitting, 7 to 17 adjustments and the removal), which from here comes to about 550 to 1,110 miles and 15 to 30 hours on the road. At the 45p a mile HMRC uses for business driving, that is roughly £250 to £500 in running costs.
