Why do adults have braces?

Why do adults have braces?

Adult braces are growing in popularity now that revolutionary removable or discrete fixed braces are available, meaning conventional ‘train track’ braces are no longer the only treatment option. Perhaps the two most popular reasons for seeking treatment are as a result of teeth moving as part of the natural ageing process or from not wearing a retainer following previous teeth straightening treatment.

What type of adult braces are best for adults?

Here at Evolve, we offer 3 main types of adult braces to suit all cases and lifestyles: 1) Removable braces (Invisalign ‘invisible braces’, Inman Aligner); 2) Lingual braces, discretely fitted behind the teeth (MTM No Trace, Incognito ‘hidden braces’); 3) Fixed braces (Six Month Smiles, ceramic brackets, stainless steel brackets).

What options are there to straighten teeth?

Adult braces can be fixed – either to the front or the back of the teeth – or removable, either in the form of clear aligners, like transparent mouth guards, or a spring-loaded appliance. In addition, our treatment options at Evolve include braces to treat anything from just the front 4 top or bottom teeth, to only the teeth visible when you smile, or up to whole arches.

How long does it take to straighten teeth?

Adult braces can work in less time than you might think, as most treatments complete in months, not years, sometimes even in weeks. Depending on the case, all of the revolutionary new straightening systems can often complete within 6 months, including Inman (6 to 16 weeks), Invisalign (12 weeks to 18 months), MTM No Trace (16 to 36 weeks), Six Month Smiles (26 weeks), Incognito (26 weeks to 24 months).

Is it okay to have adult braces again?

Yes, you can have your teeth straightened more than once. Indeed, we often fit braces on adults who used to wear braces in their younger years but whose teeth need to be realigned, usually as a result of not wearing a retainer, either at all or consistently, following their straightening treatment.

How much do adult braces cost?

Our prices for adult straightening treatment start at £1820 and include the following: all appointments and reviews, including follow-up appointments for up to 1 year; post-treatment fixed or removable retainers (when clinically suitable); home tooth whitening; 20-minute cosmetic bonding consultation with Carol.

💄 Smile hack: make your smile look whiter

Want a simple trick to make your smile appear whiter?

In this smile hack, Carol shares a quick tip - try wearing a pink lipstick. The tones in pink shades can help create contrast with your teeth, which can make your smile appear brighter and whiter.

It’s a simple styling trick that can make a real difference when you’re heading out or getting ready for an event.

World oral health day - small habits, big impact

Healthy teeth and gums don’t just help you smile with confidence. They support eating, speaking, and can even play a role in wider health and wellbeing.

Simple daily habits can make a real difference:
 • brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
 • cleaning between your teeth
 • limiting sugary snacks and drinks
 • attending regular dental examinations

At Evolve, we’re here to help you keep your smile healthy for the long term, with advice and care tailored to you.

If it’s been a while since your last visit, today is a great time to get back on track.

Laurie came to Evolve because she was unhappy with gaps between her teeth.

In this video, she shares her experience of having braces at the practice and how this has helped improve both the appearance of her smile and how her teeth meet together.

Teeth straightening treatment can address concerns such as spacing, crowding and bite issues, while also supporting long-term oral health.

If you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth, a consultation at our practice can help you understand the options available.

Why do people grind their teeth?

In this video, Maggie explains some of the most common reasons people grind their teeth, particularly during sleep.

Grinding can be linked to things like stress, the alignment of your teeth or certain sleep issues. Over time it can lead to problems such as worn enamel, jaw pain and headaches.

If tooth grinding is causing problems, a custom dental guard may sometimes be recommended to help protect your teeth while you sleep.

Watch Maggie explain what to look out for and when it may be worth getting things checked.

Clenching, headaches, pain when chewing… these can all be signs of TMJ problems.

In this video, Yasmin explains some of the common symptoms people experience and how treatments using neurotoxins can help relax the muscles around the jaw.

For some patients, this can reduce tension, relieve discomfort and improve day-to-day symptoms.

If you’ve been experiencing jaw pain or tension, it may be worth having a conversation about your options.
