NHS Orthodontic

NHS Orthodontic treatment in Eltham:

At AR Smiles, we do provide a small amount of NHS orthodontic treatment.

NHS orthodontic treatment is free for people under the age of 18 with a clear health need for treatment. But because of high demand, there can be a long waiting list.

NHS orthodontic care is not usually available for adults, and if adults are interested in our adult and private orthodontic services, please click here.

A rating system called Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) is used to assess your eligibility for NHS treatment. The British Orthodontic Society (BOS) website has more information about the different grades used for the IOTN.

NHS treatment is available for grade 4 and grade 5 cases. Grade 3 cases are usually judged on an individual basis. NHS treatment may also be available if the appearance of your teeth, jaw or face is of concern. If children do not qualify for NHS treatment, we offer private orthodontic services.
