A course of fixed braces typically means 10 to 20 visits (a consultation, the fitting, 7 to 17 adjustments and the removal), which from here comes to about 440 to 880 miles and 13 to 27 hours on the road. At the 45p a mile HMRC uses for business driving, that is roughly £200 to £395 in running costs.
