Before signing a treatment agreement with any provider in Ingol, ask: Does the fee include unlimited refinements or is there a defined cap? Are retainers (both fixed bonded and removable) included? Are there charges for broken attachments or replacement aligners? What happens if the final result needs additional trays after the initial series?
