1. The titanium material cost is much higher than steel.Usually the titanium retainer raw material (Titanium Rods) cost is around 27.5USD/kg.But steel rods may cost around 4.5USD/kg.
2. Titanium retainers needs produced by 100% CNC turning,and titanium material is hard to machine,so its machining fees is high.
3. The market don’t have much needs for titanium retainers,there is no batch production for titanium retainers,so its cost can’t be reduced.
