There's no single price for orthodontics in Petty France — the range is genuinely wide. Case complexity, appliance type and inclusions all move the total up or down. Payment plans can make private treatment accessible even on a tighter budget.
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 is an easy thing to miss: a single-arch quote will look cheaper than a dual-arch one, so check like for like.
Retainers are a recurring cost people forget; check whether the quote bundles them or adds them at the end.
Refinements (for aligner treatment) are the extra trays that finish the result. They should be included — ask explicitly before signing.
Practice location and overheads push city-centre fees above suburban ones. Petty France usually has practices at several price points, so two or three quotes are worthwhile.
