Jemma after braces

Jemma’s new smile has given her so much more confidence

I had braces as a teenager and at the end of that treatment I had a removable retainer which I was advised to wear for maybe a few months.

As I got older, two wisdom teeth came through and I noticed that my front two teeth crossed very slightly and my upper canine on one side was twisted. Although they weren’t too bad and people would say I had nice teeth, it was causing me to smile with my mouth closed more often than not.

I saw Carol for a consultation and we discussed the options to straighten my teeth. She advised that I straighten both my top and my bottom teeth to ensure that my bite was correct. Although the appearance of my bottom teeth didn’t bother me, I agreed that it would be best to straighten both top and bottom. I figured if I was going to have braces on the top, I might as well have them on the bottom at the same time. I opted for fixed braces and wore them for 9 months. As soon as the braces were removed I couldn’t stop smiling, I was so pleased with the result and I am so glad that I did it.

My new smile gives me so much more confidence. If anyone is thinking of having braces to straighten their teeth, I would say go for it. You will not regret it!

If you’ve never visited Evolve before, here’s a little look around.

We know that walking into a new dental practice can feel daunting, particularly if it’s been a while since your last appointment.

We’ve designed Evolve to feel calm, welcoming and a little different from what you might expect from a dental practice.

But the most important part isn’t the building. It’s how you’re made to feel when you’re here.

Come in, make yourself comfortable in our patient lounge and let us look after you.

Gum disease can be surprisingly easy to overlook.

Bleeding when you brush, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath or gums that seem to be receding are all things worth paying attention to.

The important thing is not to wait until something hurts. Gum disease can develop without causing pain, which is one reason regular dental and hygiene appointments matter.

In this short video, Yasmin explains some of the signs to look out for.

If you’ve noticed a change in your gums, mention it at your next appointment or get in touch with the team.

Ever run your tongue over your teeth and wonder why they suddenly feel rough?

There are a few possible reasons, from plaque build-up to changes in the surface of a tooth.

In this short video, Yasmin explains some of the common causes and when it’s worth mentioning it to your dentist.

Noticing small changes in your mouth is useful. You don’t need to diagnose them yourself, but do tell us if something feels different.
