What Affects Orthodontic Costs?
Treatment type matters most. The gap between metal and lingual braces reflects real differences in materials, lab work and chair time.
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 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 explain part of the spread: overheads differ practice to practice in Llaingoch, and shopping around is standard for private treatment.
