Orthodontics Services at Surrey Dental Practice

At Surrey Dental Practice, we’re passionate about helping our patients achieve healthy, confident smiles. Our orthodontic care services help children, teens, and adults across Surrey achieve straighter, healthier teeth focuses on diagnosing, preventing and treating issues such as crooked or crowded teeth, spacing problems, and bite irregularities (malocclusion). Straightening your teeth isn’t only about appearance, it can also make brushing and flossing easier, improve your bite, and protect your long-term oral health.

Every smile is unique, so your treatment plan is individually designed around your needs, lifestyle and goals. From your first consultation, we’ll explain your options clearly, show you what results you can expect, and guide you through every step of the process. Orthodontics, the branch of dentistry concerned with the growth of the teeth, jaws and face, is in high demand.

Nearly one million people in the UK started having orthodontics last year and more adults than ever before require treatment. Why? Orthodontic treatment is about making the best of your teeth; it’s about improving the harmony of your mouth and jaws.

Once you can bite together correctly, you can eat more comfortably and care for your teeth and gums more easily and your smile will benefit immensely!
The treatment process begins with a comprehensive visual examination of the patient’s smile. We offer Invisalign and Angel Aligners for patients with simple to moderate crowding problems. A typical treatment lasts six to eighteen months, depending on how much work is required and the severity of the problem. For patients with severe cases of malocclusion, we will advise the patient to see a specialist orthodontist.

The Benefits of Orthodontics Treatment

  • Easier cleaning and better oral health
  • Improved bite and comfort when eating or speaking.
  • Enhanced confidence with a beautiful, harmonious smile

These are some of the most common reasons for orthodontic treatment

  • Protruding upper front teeth – one of the most common dental problems.
  • Crowding – a narrow jaw may mean there is not enough room for your teeth, resulting in crowding. Conversely, some patients have significant gaps between their teeth.
  • Asymmetry – particularly when the centre lines of the upper and lower front teeth do not match, perhaps because the teeth have drifted or the position of the jaw has shifted.
  • A deep bite – when your upper teeth cover the lower teeth too much.
  • A reverse bite – when your upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth.
  • An open bite – when your front teeth remain apart when your back teeth meet; the tongue is often still visible between the upper and lower front teeth.
  • Impacted teeth – in some patients, secondary teeth come through in the wrong position or do not erupt at all. Orthodontic treatment can help bring these teeth into the correct position.

Orthodontics FAQs

What is Invisalign and how does it work for teeth straightening?

Most patients find it comfortable, especially with the application of topical anaesthetic. You may feel minor discomfort during injections, similar to microneedling.

What can I expect during each stage of Invisalign treatment, from the initial scan to the final results?
It usually starts with a consultation and a 3D scan of your teeth. That scan is used to create a digital plan showing how your smile will move step by step. You’ll then receive a series of aligners and switch to a new set every week or two.
As you go, you may have short review appointments to check progress. At the end, you’ll see your final smile and usually move on to retainers.
What is the process and timeline for getting Invisalign treatment?

The process generally looks like this:

  1. Consultation & 3D scan
  2. Treatment planning and aligner production
  3. Start wearing aligners
  4. Regular check-ins
  5. Finish and move to retainers

Most treatments take about 6 to 18 months, depending on how much movement is needed.

What kind of results can I expect from Invisalign, including before and after examples?
Invisalign can improve crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and general alignment. Patients usually notice gradual improvements every few weeks. Before-and-after cases often show straighter teeth, a better bite, and a more confident smile.
How often do I need to wear Invisalign aligners for effective results?
For best results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing.
What are the benefits of choosing Invisalign over traditional metal braces?

Some people prefer Invisalign because:

  • They’re nearly invisible
  • They’re removable, so eating and cleaning are easier
  • They’re generally more comfortable than brackets and wires
  • Fewer/emergency appointments are usually needed

Shape

Do I need to wear retainers after completing Invisalign treatment?
Yes. Retainers help keep your teeth in their new positions. Without them, teeth can slowly shift back. Most people wear them full-time at first, then just at night.
How often do I need to visit the dentist during Invisalign treatment?
Check-ins are usually every 6–8 weeks, just to make sure everything is moving as planned. Some practices offer virtual check-ins too.
What aftercare is required following Invisalign treatment?

Aftercare mainly involves:

  • Wearing your retainers
  • Regular dental checkups
  • Good oral hygiene
  • Keeping retainers clean and updated when needed
What are the advantages of choosing a provider with advanced Invisalign expertise or recognition?

Aftercare mainly involves:

  • Wearing your retainers
  • Regular dental checkups
  • Good oral hygiene
  • Keeping retainers clean and updated when needed
How do patients rate their experiences with Invisalign treatment and the dental practice?
Most patients report that Invisalign is more comfortable and more convenient than braces, and many feel more confident during treatment since the aligners are clear. Reviews often highlight friendly care, good communication, and great results.
What additional treatments or services are included with Invisalign packages?

Packages will include things like:

  • Digital scan previews
  • Refiners (Additional Aligners if required)
  • Teeth whitening
  • Cosmetic contouring
  • Retainers at the end
  • Aftercare appointments
What support is available for nervous or anxious dental patients during Invisalign treatment?

Some practices offer:

  • Extra time during visits
  • Calming environments (music)
  • Gentle communication and reassurance
  • Virtual check-ins to reduce visit anxiety
What other cosmetic dental services can complement Invisalign treatment?
  • Teeth whitening after alignment
  • Composite bonding to refine tooth shape
  • Veneers or Crowns for a full smile makeover

Your First Appointment

Treatment begins with a thorough visual and digital assessment of your teeth and bite. Using our state-of-the-art iTero Scanner, we capture a precise 3D image of your mouth; no messy impressions required. This high-end scanner also allows us to generate an instant before-and-after simulation. This allows us to develop an accurate, personalised plan and to show you a preview of how your smile could look after treatment. 

We currently offer Invisalign® and Angel Aligners for patients with mild to moderate crowding or spacing issues. Both Invisalign® and Angel Aligners are among the most widely used clear-aligner systems worldwide, and each has an excellent track record for efficiency and predictable results. 

For very complex cases, we’ll refer you to a trusted specialist orthodontist to ensure you receive the highest standard of care.
