What You're Actually Paying For
Treatment type is the biggest driver. Metal is cheapest, ceramic more, aligners and lingual more again — each appliance has different manufacture, fitting and adjustment costs.
Case complexity moves the price within any treatment type. A mild spacing case needs fewer appointments and less clinical time than a complex overbite correction with extractions.
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 close out treatment but aren't always in the headline fee — ask whether they're included or charged on top.
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. Trevenen Bal usually has practices at several price points, so two or three quotes are worthwhile.
