What You're Actually Paying For

Treatment type matters most. The gap between metal and lingual braces reflects real differences in materials, lab work and chair time.

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 is an easy thing to miss: a single-arch quote will look cheaper than a dual-arch one, so check like for like.

Retainers are a recurring cost people forget; check whether the quote bundles them or adds them at the end.

Refinements can quietly inflate an aligner bill if capped, so pin down the refinement policy up front.

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