Why Quotes Vary So Much

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

Practice location and overheads vary across Hammond's Green — higher-rent locations charge more, which is exactly why comparing a few local quotes pays off.
