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

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

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 Leverington — higher-rent locations charge more, which is exactly why comparing a few local quotes pays off.

Questions to Ask Before Accepting a Quote in Leverington

Are retainers (both fixed bonded and removable) included? Are there charges for broken attachments or replacement aligners? What happens if the final result needs additional trays after the initial series?
