Why Quotes Vary So Much

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 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 a recurring cost people forget; check whether the quote bundles them or adds them at the end.

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 Wideopen, and shopping around is standard for private treatment.

How much do aligners cost in Wideopen?
