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 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 are essential and sometimes billed separately (typically £80–£350 per arch, depending on type). Some practices include them; always confirm which.

Refinements are the additional aligners often needed after the first series; confirm they're covered rather than charged per set.

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

How much do aligners cost in Milovaig?

Aligner pricing in Milovaig is driven by more than the headline figure. Complexity, brand, refinement allowances and clinical input each pull the price up or down. The most common mistake is treating headline cost as a like-for-like comparison.
