NHS vs Private Fees in Burshill
On the NHS, one course of treatment runs from fitting right through to retainers, with nothing added along the way.

Orthodontic Eligibility in Burshill
Whether you or your child qualifies for NHS treatment in Burshill comes down to a structured assessment. The Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) is the primary tool used across East Riding of Yorkshire to decide who receives funded treatment. This guide explains how IOTN works, who qualifies, and what private options exist if you don't.
What If You Don't Qualify for NHS Treatment?
If your IOTN score falls below the threshold for NHS funding, private orthodontic treatment is fully available with no eligibility criteria and no waiting list. This means you can start treatment within weeks of your consultation, with full choice of brace type — metal, ceramic, aligner, or lingual — rather than being limited to NHS metal braces.
