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 a recurring cost people forget; check whether the quote bundles them or adds them at the end.

Refinements can quietly inflate an aligner bill if capped, so pin down the refinement policy up front.

Practice location and overheads push city-centre fees above suburban ones. Penmynydd usually has practices at several price points, so two or three quotes are worthwhile.
