There's no single price for orthodontics in Corrigall — the range is genuinely wide. Understanding what drives the price, and what should be included in the fee, helps you compare quotes accurately. A photo assessment helps you gauge likely complexity before comparing quotes.
What You're Actually Paying For
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 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 are the additional aligners often needed after the first series; confirm they're covered rather than charged per set.
Practice location and overheads push city-centre fees above suburban ones. Corrigall usually has practices at several price points, so two or three quotes are worthwhile.
