Basma in the UK: what we could confirm

Basma is a clear aligner company whose partner clinics are mostly in the Gulf states and Lebanon. Its own FAQ lists the United Kingdom among the 12 countries where its services and clinics are available, and in the UK it now starts treatment at a partner dental practice in London rather than with a kit posted to you. We have not added it to the UK comparison or the provider finder because we could not confirm how UK treatment works after the first visit, including whether check-ups happen at the practice or through the app, or how many UK patients it treats. It also publishes no UK price, but a missing price alone would not keep a provider out.

What we could confirm

Checked on 28 October 2026 on Basma's own website:

• The UK is a listed operating country. Basma's FAQ answers "In which countries does BASMA operate?" with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Lebanon, the United Kingdom, Jordan, Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa. Its terms and conditions also name the UK among its operating countries.
• Treatment starts at a partner clinic. Basma describes three steps: a free consultation, 3D scan and dental check-up at a Basma partner clinic; a treatment plan with a 3D simulation in its app; then custom aligners shipped to you once you approve the plan.
• Two UK partner practices are listed, both run by One Dental in London: one in Camberwell and one on Kensington High Street. We found no UK partner practice outside London.

What we could not confirm

• A UK price. Basma's pricing page lists four case types (Light, Medium, Medium+ and Complex) priced in UAE dirhams, with instalment plans through Tabby. It shows no price in pounds. Ask the practice for the total fee in writing, what it includes and what refinements and retainers cost.
• How many UK patients Basma treats, and whether check-ups during treatment happen at the practice or through the app. Basma's page for dentists says its partner clinics are in seven Gulf and Levant countries, which does not match the UK practices listed elsewhere on the same site.

Older information about Basma

Our earlier page, last captured in August 2022, described Basma as a fully remote service with a home impression kit and no UK clinics. That no longer matches what Basma describes, so its details, ratings and pros and cons no longer apply.

Questions to ask before you start

• Which dentist examines me, and who is responsible for my treatment plan from start to finish?
• Are check-ups during treatment at the practice, through the app, or both?
• What is the total price in pounds, and what does it include?
• If my teeth do not follow the plan, are extra aligners included?
• What does a retainer cost after treatment?

The General Dental Council (GDC) requires a registered dentist to be responsible for aligner treatment throughout, including when aligners are posted to you. You can check a dentist's registration on the GDC register.
