Palate expanders: Why is MARPE significantly more expensive than a Hyrax?

I’m switching orthos. The first one did a hyrax and it was $7,800. I’m now looking at a dentist (no ortho is doing MARPE in my area) who says he can do MARPE but the treatment cost is $14,000.

Why is it so much more expensive??? Is this normal? I live in Canada.
