We offer NHS treatment free to all patients younger than 18 years old, provided they
demonstrate a clinical need for treatment. We assess every child’s clinical need for
treatment during an assessment using the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need
(IOTN) which is a rating system comprised of:
The dental health component is calculated using an objective set of measurements
to give your smile a grade of between 1 and 5:
The aesthetic component; if you receive a dental health grade of 3, we will then
look at the appearance of your smile and give you a second score
of between 1 and 10 using a set of ten images as a
reference point. If you are given an aesthetic score of 6 or above, combined with a
dental health score of 3, you will be eligible for NHS treatment.
•
NHS Orthodontic treatment is free for qualifying patients under 18 years.
•
One full set of removable retainers are supplied at the end of treatment free of
charge.

Replacement retainers are chargeable in line with NHS regulations.
