Why Quotes Vary So Much

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 are the additional aligners often needed after the first series; confirm they're covered rather than charged per set.

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