Hear What Our Patients have to say
“I’m one hundred percent happy with my teeth, they’re perfect. It’s a friendly service right from the start, the aftercare as well has been fantastic”.
“Coming to IQ Orthodontics has been one of the best things I’ve ever done”.
Why have Orthodontics as an Adult?
More and more adults are choosing to straighten their teeth, not just for a more attractive smile and improved self-confidence, but to improve oral health and overall well-being.
Those who missed the opportunity during childhood or have developed problems more recently, are now able to take advantage from the vast improvements in technique and aesthetic materials.
At IQ Braces & Faces we understand that adults want a teeth-straightening solution that is discreet and fits in with their busy lives, so we have a personalised approach to treatment, taking goals, lifestyle, schedule and budget into consideration.
Benefits of teeth straightening
- Smile more – correcting misaligned teeth enhances self-esteem, allowing you to smile with confidence and often improving social interactions.
- Oral Hygiene – straighter teeth can make it easier to keep your teeth and gums clean, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.
- Improved bite – Orthodontic treatment can improve your bite, help preserve your natural teeth longer, and prevent further wear on your teeth.

Adult Orthodontics in Woking FAQs
Am I too old for braces or Invisalign?
Not at all! There’s no age limit to orthodontic treatment. Many of our adult patients are in their 30s, 40s, 50s – and beyond.
Which is better for adults: Invisalign or braces?
It depends on your goals and dental needs. Invisalign is great for mild to moderate cases, while fixed braces may be more suitable for complex concerns. We’ll recommend the best option for you during your consultation.
How long does adult orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment typically lasts between 6 to 24 months, depending on complexity. Invisalign treatments may be shorter for minor corrections.
Are braces noticeable for adults?
Not necessarily. We offer discreet options such as ceramic braces, Invisalign, and lingual braces that are barely visible – ideal for working adults.
Does orthodontic treatment hurt?
You may experience mild discomfort when appliances are first fitted or adjusted, but it typically subsides quickly. We prioritise your comfort every step of the way.
Can I afford adult orthodontic treatment?
We offer flexible payment plans and transparent pricing, making high-quality orthodontics accessible and manageable.
Can I get orthodontic treatment if I have crowns or missing teeth?
Yes. Many adults have existing dental work. Our team will assess your specific case and design a plan that works around any restorations or gaps.
Will I need to change my diet with braces or aligners?
With fixed braces, certain hard or sticky foods should be avoided. Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can eat as normal – just remember to clean your teeth before putting them back in.
Will adult braces or aligners affect my speech?
There may be a short adjustment period, especially with aligners or lingual braces, but most patients adapt quickly.
How do I maintain my results long-term?
You will need to wear a custom-made retainer. We will provide guidance on how to use your retainer and keep your teeth in their ideal position – for a lasting, confident smile.
