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 should be clarified in every quote, since one-arch and two-arch treatment are priced very differently.
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 vary across Trewedna Water — higher-rent locations charge more, which is exactly why comparing a few local quotes pays off.
