Independent Treatment

Due to NHS restrictions some patients can no longer be treated free of charge under the NHS system because their dental irregularity is not considered sever enough when compared against the IOTN (Index of Orthodontic Treatment Needed) guide set out by the Government. For those patients who don’t qualify but still feel they would benefit from treatment, or for those under 16 years of age who wish to start their treatment without the need to join a waiting list, we offer a self funded option called "Independent Treatment" This option allows the patient to fund their own orthodontic treatment at a much lower cost than private treatment. The patient will receive the same metal brackets as used on NHS patients and appointment times will again mean attending during school hours. But treatment can be started almost immediately and even small dental irregularities can be treated. If however the need for more aesthetic braces or more flexible appointment times is a
requirement then please see our Private Treatment options.

Finances
To help you manage the cost of independent treatment we off interest free payment terms a deposit of £300 is paid when the brace is first fitted and the balance (£1,700.00) paid in seventeen equal monthly payments. We also offer a 5% discount for those who wish to pay in full at the start of their treatment. For more detailed information please contact the
practice.
