Is Invisalign available on the NHS

[Brittany]

Hi

I have been told by my dentist that I need to have metal braces to correct my crowded teeth. I would like to have my teeth straightened with Invisalign because I don't wish to wear ugly metal braces.

Could you tell me is Invisalign available on the NHS? If its not available on the NHS, could I pay for the treatment privately as I go on or do I need to pay for the whole Invisalign treatment up front?

Hello Brittany,

Thank you for your post.

I'm afriad Invisalign is not available on the NHS as it is classified as cosmetic orthodontic treatment and this is not funded by primary care trusts as far as i'm aware.

The short answer to your question, you don't have to pay for the whole Invisalign treatment up front. At Pearl Dental Clinic we can offer you payment options which will suit your circumstances and needs. You can pay in up to 10 installments with only one bigger payment of around £500. This makes the treatment affordable for most people.

For patients you want to pay less than £200 each month we can offer them finance. Finance is available over 12 months and also upto 5 years with interest. For more information go to:
