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 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 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 vary across Treven — higher-rent locations charge more, which is exactly why comparing a few local quotes pays off.
How much do aligners cost in Treven?
There is no single price for clear aligners in Treven — it depends on several factors. Case complexity, number of trays, refinements and aftercare all move the total. Comparing quotes only makes sense once you know what each one covers.
