Getting orthodontic treatment from SP6

Allowing for roads about 30% longer than the straight line and an average of 35 mph, the drive from SP6 to The Straight Tooth Company is roughly 15 minutes each way. 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 160 to 330 miles and 5 to 10 hours on the road. At the 45p a mile HMRC uses for business driving, that is roughly £70 to £150 in running costs.
