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 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 push city-centre fees above suburban ones. Eydon usually has practices at several price points, so two or three quotes are worthwhile.

Before signing a treatment agreement with any provider in Eydon, ask: Does the fee include unlimited refinements or is there a defined cap? Are retainers (both fixed bonded and removable) included? Are there charges for broken attachments or replacement aligners? What happens if the final result needs additional trays after the initial series?
