Getting orthodontic treatment from Invergarry
Invergarry is a long way from a practice: the nearest we list is M&S DENTAL CARE in Fort William, 20.5 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.

Allowing for roads about 30% longer than the straight line and an average of 35 mph, the drive from Invergarry to M&S DENTAL CARE is roughly 45 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 530 to 1,070 miles and 15 to 30 hours on the road. At the 45p a mile HMRC uses for business driving, that is roughly £240 to £480 in running costs.
