What You're Actually Paying For
Treatment type matters most. The gap between metal and lingual braces reflects real differences in materials, lab work and chair time.
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 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 push city-centre fees above suburban ones. Robeston Back usually has practices at several price points, so two or three quotes are worthwhile.
Cost Context for Robeston Back
