represents.\r\n          Prices may describe a complete treatment course, an estimated range,\r\n          a named package, a starting price, a promotion, a monthly payment,\r\n          a deposit, an appliance-only fee, a consultation or a diagnostic service.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <p>\r\n          A price is used in a treatment-cost comparison only when the treatment\r\n          scope is sufficiently clear and comparable. Duplicate listings from the\r\n          same provider are not treated as independent evidence, and important\r\n          inclusions or exclusions are preserved when interpreting the price.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <p>\r\n          Starting prices, promotions, deposits, monthly payments and\r\n          appliance-only figures are not converted into complete-treatment totals.\r\n          If sufficiently comparable evidence is not available, LumiQuest does not\r\n          create a pooled Dubai market range.\r\n        <\/p>\r\n\r\n        <p>\r\n          Consultation fees and diagnostic items are assessed separately because\r\n          they may cover different services. Your own treatment fee can also change\r\n          after clinical assessment, so the written quote for your proposed plan\r\n          remains the relevant price for your individual treatment.\r\n
