What You're Actually Paying For
Treatment type sets the baseline: the appliance you choose, from budget metal to premium lingual, largely decides the starting price before anything else.
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 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 Yearngill, and shopping around is standard for private treatment.
