Understanding What Your Quote Covers in Old Bilton
The most common source of cost disputes after aligner treatment in Old Bilton relates to refinements — the additional trays made after the original series to fine-tune the result. Some providers include unlimited refinements; others charge per additional set. Confirm this in writing before starting.
Retainer costs are frequently underestimated. A fixed bonded retainer (wired behind the front teeth) typically costs £150–£350 per arch to fit; removable Essix retainers cost £80–£150 per arch, and a Vivera set £300–£500. These should be included in a comprehensive treatment fee — ask specifically if they are.
