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 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 a recurring cost people forget; check whether the quote bundles them or adds them at the end.
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. Titchfield Common usually has practices at several price points, so two or three quotes are worthwhile.

What Drives Aligner Pricing in Titchfield Common
Case complexity moves the price more than anything else — a short mild course is a fraction of a complex full-arch treatment with mid-course corrections. Only a clinician can grade it, though a photo review hints at it early.
