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 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 is an easy thing to miss: a single-arch quote will look cheaper than a dual-arch one, so check like for like.
Retainers are a recurring cost people forget; check whether the quote bundles them or adds them at the end.
Refinements (for aligner treatment) are the extra trays that finish the result. They should be included — ask explicitly before signing.
Practice location and overheads explain part of the spread: overheads differ practice to practice in Witney, and shopping around is standard for private treatment.
Affordable clear aligners in Witney

What Makes Some Aligner Options Cheaper in Witney?
Treatment scope — a limited course for minor front-tooth alignment is genuinely cheaper because there's simply less treatment involved, and that's fine when the case really is mild.
