Yes - there will be some variation

Dentists set their prices according to many variables including lab cost of procedure, office overhead, time spent on procedure, etc. A simple example is that a downtown dental practice will usually have higher fees than a suburban or rural practice simply because of the increased cost of rent (overhead). The higher fee is usually accepted by patients willing to pay a little extra for the convenience.

It differs from case to case. The easier the case the less aligners you will need therefore you would not have to pay full price. The more severe the case the more aligners and time therefore more money.
