If you are in Warlingham and the idea of straightening your teeth has been rattling around for a while, the first thing worth sorting out is not which aligner deal to take. It is whether clear aligners are even the right approach for you. A practice that answers that honestly is worth more than one that simply sells. That is what this page sets out to do.
In practice, you are choosing between a few routes: clear aligners such as Invisalign, traditional fixed braces, and leaving your teeth as they are for now. Each genuinely suits different people and different cases. Here is how they tend to stack up so you can get a feel for which fits before you ever sit down with a dentist.
Clear aligners. Almost invisible, removable whenever you eat or brush, and gentle in the way they move teeth. They deal well with crowding, gaps, crooked teeth and many bite problems, but they rely on you: at least 22 hours of wear a day, every day.
Fixed braces. Attached to the teeth, so they work without any daily discipline from you, and they can take on more complex tooth movements. In exchange, they are more visible, trickier to keep clean and need more chair time.
Waiting. Sometimes the right answer for now. Crowded teeth and bite problems can make cleaning harder as the years go by, though, so it helps to understand what leaving things as they are really means.
Where the concern is mild to moderate, aligners usually strike the best balance for Warlingham adults. They come out for lunch at the pub on Warlingham Green or a meal out, a digital scan does away with impression putty, and a smile simulation shows the planned result before you spend anything. If your teeth need more than aligners can sensibly deliver, you will hear that from us at the consultation.

This patient’s smile was transformed with Invisalign, achieving improved alignment and a more even, healthy appearance.
The free consultation is where the decision gets made properly. We examine your teeth, hear what you are hoping for, and explain which route fits your case, even when that means aligners are not the answer. You are under no obligation to go ahead.
As a guide, a full course of clear aligners starts from around £3,500, or from around £291.66 a month over 12 months at 0% interest, confirmed once your case is planned and with Tabeo finance available. When comparing routes, bear in mind the package also includes three Vivera retainers, free premium whitening and a one-year treatment guarantee.
We are a Diamond Apex Invisalign provider, one of a small number across Europe, so if aligners do turn out to be your route, you are in experienced hands.
That depends on how complex your case is, and a free consultation gives you a clear answer far faster than guessing.
Many bite problems can be treated with aligners at the same time as crowding, gaps and crooked teeth, although the most complex bites may need a different approach.
It is a short drive north-west, down off the B269 from Warlingham Green to Foxley Lane in Purley.
You will hear that from us at the consultation, along with the alternatives, so you never end up in a treatment that does not suit you.

Lucy was very reassuring to make me feel I found my new local dentist in Christine, thank you. I was cared about and the efficiency was fantastic.
