Getting orthodontic treatment from Tref-y-Clawdd

Tref-y-Clawdd is a long way from a practice: the nearest we list is St.Owen Dental Studio in Hereford, 24.2 miles away. Starting with a remote assessment, and asking any practice how few visits a plan can be built around, avoids journeys you do not need.

At the 45p a mile HMRC uses for business driving, that is roughly £285 to £565 in running costs.
