UK Dental Practice Groups

A brand like Invisalign or ClearCorrect manufactures the aligners. A practice group like mydentist runs the clinics that fit and monitor them. The same brand is often available through several different practice groups, and one practice group can offer several different brands, so your cost and options depend on both choices together.

Several large UK groups offer clear aligners privately: mydentist (over 500 practices, mainly ClearCorrect with Invisalign at selected practices), Bupa Dental Care and its specialist Total Orthodontics practices, PortmanDentex through Portman Clear Brace Group, Rodericks Dental Partners, Colosseum Dental (Invisalign and ClearCorrect), and the MiSmile Network of independent Invisalign providers. Availability of a specific brand varies by practice, so check with your local one.

Cover depends on your policy's orthodontic benefit wording, not which practice group treats you. If your plan includes clear aligner or orthodontic cover, it typically applies once treatment is prescribed and supervised by a registered dentist or orthodontist, which is standard at any UK dental practice group.

Yes, for eligible under-18s who meet the IOTN clinical need threshold, through the standard NHS referral route — this is the same NHS eligibility rule that applies everywhere in the UK, not specific to any one provider. Clear aligners for adults are private treatment at every UK provider, chain or independent.
