Where the Savings Come From in West Brompton
Treatment scope — short-series aligners for mild front-tooth alignment legitimately cost less: fewer trays, fewer appointments, less complexity. A simple crowding case can be well served by an entry-level system.
Reduced refinements — budget packages tend to limit refinements, so a case that needs fine-tuning can end up costing much the same as a fuller package once extras are added.
Remote-first models — some cheaper providers run mostly online with minimal face-to-face visits. That can work for very simple, diligent cases but raises the chance clinical problems go unnoticed.
Clinic-own or lesser-known brands — a lesser-known system isn't automatically worse; for the right case it can deliver comparable results in West Brompton at a lower price point.
