Has the cost of teeth straightening treatment ever stopped you from getting the smile you’ve always wanted?

How does patient finance work for orthodontic treatment?
Finance can make your journey to a straighter smile smoother by spreading the cost of treatment.
Instead of having to pay for your teeth straightening treatment upfront or all in one go, you pay a set amount each month for a fixed period of time.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
No, it’s entirely optional. You can choose to pay one if it suits you, but you’re not obliged or required to do so.
You can decide if you want to pay a deposit at the application stage. If you choose to do so, it could lower the cost of your monthly repayments.
What finance options are available?
Novuna Personal Finance can arrange finance for orthodontic treatments that cost between £500 and £50,000.
You can choose a payment term that suits you to spread the cost of teeth straightening treatment.
Can I get 0% APR finance for orthodontic treatment?*
You can apply for 0% APR* finance, also known as interest-free finance, for orthodontic treatments that cost between £500 and £50,000 if you choose to pay back the total amount borrowed over 12, 18 or 24 months.
If you prefer to pay back the total amount borrowed over a longer term of 36, 40, 48 or 60 months, you can apply for finance at 9.9% APR representative*.
Finance examples
You might want to borrow the minimum credit amount of £500, or the maximum of £50,000. Either way, there are options available. Here are some representative examples to show you how it all works:

Patient FAQs for closing practices
I have a patient finance agreement, but want to move to an independent practice to finish my course of treatment - how will this work?
If we are unable to complete your treatment with your practice before they close, we will advise you of the options available to you at this time.
I have a patient finance agreement but have not started treatment. If a new practice does not offer patient finance, can I still use my agreement to pay for treatment at the new practice?
If you have a patient finance agreement and you haven’t yet started your treatment plan, please contact your practice for further information.
If a new practice doesn't offer patient finance, can I apply now at the current practice and then take the treatment and finance arrangement with me?
