How much do teeth 'impressions' cost?!


Question: How much do teeth 'impressions' cost?
Hi, i want to know how much it costs an orthodontist to get impressions of the teeth made. I don't want to know how much the average orthodontist charges, but rather how much profit they make.

I went to an orthodontist and had impressions made, i then changed my mind. Although i appreciate i have to cover the costs of the materials used so far etc etc they are charging me £800. This is on top of £300 i've paid so far (for first apponitment & deposit) If they are not over-charging me & i have to pay this then by law should the impressions be sent to me? (& the brace if thats been made)

thanks =)
