What Affects Orthodontic Costs?

Treatment type matters most. The gap between metal and lingual braces reflects real differences in materials, lab work and chair time.

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 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 can quietly inflate an aligner bill if capped, so pin down the refinement policy up front.

Practice location and overheads push city-centre fees above suburban ones. Treninnick usually has practices at several price points, so two or three quotes are worthwhile.

How much do aligners cost in Treninnick?

Aligner pricing in Treninnick is driven by more than the headline figure. Case complexity, number of trays, refinements and aftercare all move the total. Comparing quotes only makes sense once you know what each one covers.
