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 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 explain part of the spread: overheads differ practice to practice in Tirdeunaw, and shopping around is standard for private treatment.

Aligner pricing in Tirdeunaw explained

Case complexity is the single biggest driver. A mild case of 14–20 trays costs far less than a full-arch case needing 40+ trays and an extended refinement phase. Complexity is judged at examination, but a remote assessment gives an early indication.
