Why Quotes Vary So Much
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 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 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 Navestock Common, and shopping around is standard for private treatment.

'Affordable' and 'cheap' are meaningfully different when it comes to aligner treatment in Navestock Common. Understanding what a lower price actually buys is essential before committing. Knowing the warning signs helps you tell a good-value option from a false economy.
