Orthogonal Complements of Root Lattices in E_8

I have a rather stupid lattice theory question. Suppose $L$ is a root lattice that can be primitively embedded in the $ E_8 $ lattice. Is the orthogonal complement of $ L$ in $E_8$ unique up to isomorphism, or for different primitive embeddings could I get non-isomorphic complements?
