Allowing for roads about 30% longer than the straight line and an average of 35 mph, the drive from Hynish to THE DENTAL CLINIC is roughly 90 minutes each way. A course of fixed braces typically means 10 to 20 visits (a consultation, the fitting, 7 to 17 adjustments and the removal), which from here comes to about 1,080 to 2,160 miles and 30 to 60 hours on the road. At the 45p a mile HMRC uses for business driving, that is roughly £485 to £970 in running costs.
