Whether you or your child qualifies for NHS treatment in New Haw comes down to a structured assessment. NHS-contracted orthodontists in Surrey apply the same national criteria consistently. This guide explains how IOTN works, who qualifies, and what private options exist if you don't.
Understanding the IOTN Score
Whether the NHS funds treatment comes down to the IOTN score, a standardised two-part measure used right across Surrey.
The Dental Health Component (DHC) grades severity from 1 to 5:
- Grade 1 — No treatment need.
- Grade 2 — Little treatment need: mild malocclusion.
- Grade 3 — Borderline: moderate malocclusion.
- Grade 4 — Treatment need: severe malocclusion impacting dental health.
- Grade 5 — Very great need: most severe cases including impactions and large overjets.
The funding line sits at grade 4. Grade 3 cases go to a second measure — the Aesthetic Component, scored 1–10 from photographs — so a borderline case with strong aesthetic impact can still be funded.
Eligibility in New Haw — Local Context
How long NHS treatment takes to start in Surrey depends heavily on the individual practice's current caseload.

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.
For mild cases that fall into IOTN grades 1 or 2, clear aligners from private providers in New Haw are often a very cost-competitive option. Entry-level aligner systems for straightforward cases can cost significantly less than complex brace treatment, and many practices offer flexible monthly payment plans.
