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 adds to it regardless of appliance — more movement means more trays or adjustments, more visits, and more of the clinician's time.

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. Trub usually has practices at several price points, so two or three quotes are worthwhile.

What affects clear aligner cost in Trub?

Clear aligner cost in Trub varies considerably from case to case. Two quotes at the same headline price can include very different levels of clinical input. What's included matters more than the sticker price when you compare providers.

Understanding What Your Quote Covers in Trub
