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 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 is an easy thing to miss: a single-arch quote will look cheaper than a dual-arch one, so check like for like.

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

How much do aligners cost in Custom House?

What Affects Clear Aligner Cost in Custom House?

Case complexity is the single biggest driver. A mild case of 14–20 trays costs far less than a full-arch case needing 40+ trays and an extended refinement phase. Complexity is judged at examination, but a remote assessment gives an early indication.
