Allowing for roads about 30% longer than the straight line and an average of 35 mph, the drive from Muir to Aviemore Dental & Implant Clinic is roughly 40 minutes each way. A course of fixed braces typically means 10 to 20 visits (a consultation, the fitting, 7 to 17 adjustments and the removal), which from here comes to about 460 to 920 miles and 13 to 27 hours on the road. At the 45p a mile HMRC uses for business driving, that is roughly £205 to £415 in running costs.
