Why Quotes Vary So Much

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 is the second big lever: the harder the case, the longer the course and the higher the fee, whatever you're treated with.

Number of arches affects the total — treating both upper and lower costs more than one arch alone. Confirm whether a quote covers both before comparing.

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 explain part of the spread: overheads differ practice to practice in Ladygill, and shopping around is standard for private treatment.
