Common Questions About Orthodontics
How long does Invisalign take?
Most cases finish in 6–12 months. Mild cases can be done in as little as 3–4 months; complex cases may need 18+ months.
What's the difference between Invisalign and SureSmile?
Both are clear aligner systems. Invisalign has the longest track record; SureSmile is a strong alternative often more cost-effective. We offer both and recommend the right one for your case.
Will clear aligners affect my speech?
Most patients adjust within 1–2 days. After that there's no noticeable impact on speech, eating, or daily life.
Are clear aligners right for me?
Clear aligners suit most mild-to-moderate cases. We'll take an iTero® scan at your consultation and show you the projected outcome before you commit.
Do you do fixed metal and ceramic braces in-house?
Yes — Dr Emma Walmsley personally places complex fixed metal and ceramic braces for both adults and children. Most cases can be treated here at the practice; if yours needs a referral, we'll explain why at your consultation.
Can I have orthodontics on the NHS?
Adult orthodontics is generally private. Children's orthodontics may qualify on the NHS based on clinical need — see our Children's Braces page.
Do you offer payment plans?
0% finance available on all treatments over £1,000, subject to standard credit approval.
What if my teeth move back after treatment?
Your aligner price includes 3D-printed retainers. Wear them as advised and your result is for life.
