What You're Actually Paying For
Treatment type matters most. The gap between metal and lingual braces reflects real differences in materials, lab work and chair time.
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 are the additional aligners often needed after the first series; confirm they're covered rather than charged per set.
Practice location and overheads vary across Moodiesburn — higher-rent locations charge more, which is exactly why comparing a few local quotes pays off.
