What You're Actually Paying For

Treatment type sets the baseline: the appliance you choose, from budget metal to premium lingual, largely decides the starting price before anything else.

Case complexity adds to it regardless of appliance — more movement means more trays or adjustments, more visits, and more of the clinician's time.

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

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

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