Getting orthodontic treatment from Hawes
Hawes is a long way from a practice: the nearest we list is Kendal Dental Care, 22 miles away. Starting with a remote assessment, and asking any practice how few visits a plan can be built around, avoids journeys you do not need.
To make the first step cheaper or shorter: Windmill Orthodontics Bedale (24.6 miles) mentions both a free consultation and remote consultations, and 14 of the practices around Hawes list clear aligners, the nearest 22 miles away.

Allowing for roads about 30% longer than the straight line and an average of 35 mph, the drive from Hawes to Kendal Dental Care is roughly 50 minutes each way.

At the 45p a mile HMRC uses for business driving, that is roughly £255 to £515 in running costs.
