What You're Actually Paying For

Treatment type is the biggest driver. Metal is cheapest, ceramic more, aligners and lingual more again — each appliance has different manufacture, fitting and adjustment costs.

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 close out treatment but aren't always in the headline fee — ask whether they're included or charged on top.

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

Practice location and overheads vary across Kimberley — higher-rent locations charge more, which is exactly why comparing a few local quotes pays off.
