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 is the second big lever: the harder the case, the longer the course and the higher the fee, whatever you're treated with.

Number of arches is an easy thing to miss: a single-arch quote will look cheaper than a dual-arch one, so check like for like.

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