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 moves the price within any treatment type. A mild spacing case needs fewer appointments and less clinical time than a complex overbite correction with extractions.

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 (for aligner treatment) are the extra trays that finish the result. They should be included — ask explicitly before signing.

Practice location and overheads explain part of the spread: overheads differ practice to practice in Hollinfare, and shopping around is standard for private treatment.

Cost Context for Hollinfare

Private full fixed brace treatment in Hollinfare typically costs between £1,500 and £5,500, depending on case complexity. Straightforward crowding or spacing cases often suit aligners; more involved bite corrections are more often treated with fixed braces.
