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 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 should be clarified in every quote, since one-arch and two-arch treatment are priced very differently.
Retainers are essential and sometimes billed separately (typically £80–£350 per arch, depending on type). Some practices include them; always confirm which.
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. Sutton in Ashfield usually has practices at several price points, so two or three quotes are worthwhile.
