What Affects Orthodontic Costs?
Treatment type matters most. The gap between metal and lingual braces reflects real differences in materials, lab work and chair time.
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 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 (for aligner treatment) are the extra trays that finish the result. They should be included — ask explicitly before signing.
Practice location and overheads explain part of the spread: overheads differ practice to practice in Curdworth, and shopping around is standard for private treatment.

| Invisalign Lite | £2,500–£3,500 | Mild cases only. Limited refinements. |
