Why Quotes Vary So Much

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