What Affects Orthodontic Costs?

Treatment type is the biggest driver. Metal is cheapest, ceramic more, aligners and lingual more again — each appliance has different manufacture, fitting and adjustment costs.

Case complexity adds to it regardless of appliance — more movement means more trays or adjustments, more visits, and more of the clinician's time.

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 essential and sometimes billed separately (typically £80–£350 per arch, depending on type). Some practices include them; always confirm which.

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. Splayne's Green usually has practices at several price points, so two or three quotes are worthwhile.

Risks of Very Low-Cost Aligner Treatment

The greatest risk in very low-cost aligner treatment is mismatched case selection — where a treatment system designed for mild cases is applied to a more complex one. Signs that an aligner package may be cutting corners: no clinical X-rays requested before treatment, no in-person assessment at any stage, no mention of refinements or a very low refinement cap, retainers not included, and no clear escalation path if treatment isn't progressing as planned.
