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 should be clarified in every quote, since one-arch and two-arch treatment are priced very differently.

Retainers are essential and sometimes billed separately (typically £80–£350 per arch, depending on type). Some practices include them; always confirm which.

Refinements can quietly inflate an aligner bill if capped, so pin down the refinement policy up front.

Practice location and overheads vary across Frampton West End — higher-rent locations charge more, which is exactly why comparing a few local quotes pays off.

Signs that an aligner package may be cutting corners: no clinical X-rays requested before treatment, no in-person assessment at any stage, no mention of refinements or a very low refinement cap, retainers not included, and no clear escalation path if treatment isn't progressing as planned.
