Is Invisalign Available on the NHS?
No. Invisalign and other clear aligner treatments are not available on the NHS, as they are considered cosmetic. The NHS does fund fixed braces for patients under 18 where there is a clinical need (assessed using the IOTN index). Adults requiring orthodontic treatment must pay privately regardless of the system used.
