So, I’ve had straight teeth for two months now and it’s amazing! People who know me (and know the story) all think that the difference is incredible. I now smile!
Whilst I had the brace fitted, the majority of people didn’t even notice (even people I’ve known for years)! Those that did notice, wanted to know all the details, ‘Did it hurt?’, ‘What couldn’t I eat?’, ‘Was it going to be on for years?’ It was a great conversation starter and I was happy to talk about what was happening, and the outcome I was looking forward to.
I never thought that I would enjoy talking about my teeth, as until recently, it’s been a topic that I have avoided at all costs. But now I tell, and show everyone! (Apologies to friends who I may have bored to death in recent months!!).
It’s when I’m talking to people that I don’t know, that I really notice the difference though. I don’t worry about entering into conversation with someone new – I don’t try to cover my mouth, not smile, or worry now about what they ‘might think’ of my teeth. For that reason, I suppose it’s given me a new confidence.
I realise that all of the questions I was asked about the brace were pretty negative (as I just said), they were ‘Does it hurt’, ‘Will you have it for years?’, ‘What can’t you do when your brace is on?’.
Nobody should be concerned about the negatives of having a brace fitted, because the positive (end result), outweighs any discomfort or inconvenience along the way.
‘Did it hurt?’ – yeah it was slightly uncomfortable for about 48hrs. When I say slightly uncomfortable, I didn’t take any tablets as it was no worse than a mild headache. It rubbed a little bit (like twice), but that could be dealt with easily using the nifty wax you’re given!
Did I have to wear it for years?’ No. 18weeks and the transformation in that time, for me, was unimaginable.
‘What can’t you do with a brace fitted?’…..erm chewing gum is tricky, there are some foods you will find easier than others (but don’t worry you won’t starve!)
My point here, is that there is nothing to be remotely afraid of, or bad enough to put anyone off having the treatment.
To anyone who is unhappy with the appearance of their teeth or smile, please speak to the team and explore your options. It’s a game changer – believe me!

We’ve shared the official diversion map below so you can plan ahead.

Thinking about straightening your teeth, but worried you’ve left it too late?
You’re not alone.
One of the biggest myths we hear is that teeth straightening is only for teenagers. In reality, more adults than ever are choosing to improve their smiles with discreet orthodontic options such as Angel Aligners.
Whether you’ve always wanted straighter teeth, your teeth have shifted over time, or you’re looking to improve your confidence, modern aligner treatment can fit around your lifestyle with minimal disruption.
✔ Clear and discreet
✔ Removable for eating and brushing
✔ Comfortable to wear
✔ Suitable for many adult patients
If you’ve been considering teeth straightening, why not book a consultation and find out what’s possible for your smile?

✨ “I’m looking forward to the
path ahead of me with a perfect smile.” ✨
When Matt was just 9 years old, an accident in the
playground affected his smile and confidence for years
to come.
After deciding it was time to make a change, Matt
spent time researching practices online, looking for a
team he could trust. After reading about our awards
and patient care, he chose Evolve Dentistry to help him
achieve the smile he’d always wanted.
Using Invisalign and composite bonding, we were able
to transform Matt’s smile and give him results he’s
incredibly happy with.
Hearing how much confidence a new smile can bring is
one of the most rewarding parts of what we do, and
we’re delighted that Matt trusted us with his journey.
Watch his story and hear about his experience at
Evolve Dentistry. 🦷😁
