With how you look becoming a bigger concern for more and more people many of those people are turning to their dentist to help them with a more confident smile. The biggest issue facing these people is that conventional orthodontics, to move crooked teeth, use metal wires and brackets. So the very reason a person may chose to have straighter teeth (to feel confident) is then set against them as they need to have confidence draining metal brackets.
To overcome this problem we offer 2 alternatives that are invisible. These invisible tooth movement systems have the following advantages:
Generally speaking this type of tooth movement system is very comfortable to wear. There is always some mild pressure on your teeth as they are being moved, this is normal and to be expected. When you wear a new orthodontic appliance the initial pressure is much higher, however as your teeth gently move in to their new position this will gradually fade and you will become less aware of the pressure on your teeth.
We offer 2 different varieties of clear and invisible braces at Evolve Dentistry. One of the systems fits on the inside of your teeth and the other is a clear system that fits on the outside. There are many reasons to chose one type of brace over the other so the best way to make that decision is to book for an appointment to discuss your options.
Our Portishead Dental Practice is situated on the outskirts of Bristol making travelling to us a simple and easy process.
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.

🪥 Smile hack: timing your tooth brushing
Did you know that brushing your teeth straight after eating isn’t always the best idea?
In this quick video, Maggie explains why it’s better to wait a little while before brushing. After eating, especially acidic foods and drinks, the enamel on your teeth can be temporarily softened. Brushing too soon can actually cause more wear.
Waiting around 30 minutes gives your saliva time to neutralise the acids and protect your teeth.
Watch Maggie’s smile hack to learn the simple change that can help keep your teeth healthier.

What exactly is a dental crown?
In this video, Carol explains how crowns help restore and protect teeth that have been weakened by cracks, root canal treatment or large fillings.
A crown acts like a protective cap, binding the tooth together and giving it the strength it needs for everyday biting and chewing.
Watch the video to learn when a crown may be recommended and how it helps protect your smile.

Did you know that chewing sugar free gum after eating can actually help protect your teeth? 🍬➡️🦷
In this video, Carol explains why dentists often recommend sugar free gum after meals. Chewing gum stimulates saliva, which helps wash away food particles and neutralise acids that can lead to tooth decay.
It’s not a replacement for brushing, but it can be a helpful extra habit when you’re out and about and can’t brush your teeth straight away.
