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 should be clarified in every quote, since one-arch and two-arch treatment are priced very differently.
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 explain part of the spread: overheads differ practice to practice in Westminster Park, and shopping around is standard for private treatment.
