What Affects Orthodontic Costs?

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 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. Storiths usually has practices at several price points, so two or three quotes are worthwhile.

How much do aligners cost in Storiths?

There is no single price for clear aligners in Storiths — it depends on several factors. The main drivers are treatment complexity, the aligner brand, the provider's experience, and what the fee actually includes. What's included matters more than the sticker price when you compare providers.
