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 moves the price within any treatment type. A mild spacing case needs fewer appointments and less clinical time than a complex overbite correction with extractions.

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 close out treatment but aren't always in the headline fee — ask whether they're included or charged on top.

Refinements are the additional aligners often needed after the first series; confirm they're covered rather than charged per set.

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