ingual orthodontics are a way of straightening two by placing the brackets and wires on the inside of your teeth. This means that no one else is able to see that you are having your teeth straightened with lingual orthodontics.
The great thing about that the orthodontics system that we use, called Incognito, is that it is suitable for a wide age range of people and is able to treat a variety of crooked teeth problems. There are a few instances when lingual orthodontics would not be possible, for example, if you have a deep overbite and there is absolutely no room to put the braces on the inside of your teeth. The only way we can tell for sure is to see you for an orthodontic assessment, where we will be out of tell you if you are suitable.
The type of invisible orthodontics system we use is the only one available that is custom made entirely for you. Each of the brackets is made exclusively to fit your own tooth, this means they can be made much thinner than standard orthodontic train track brackets that most people think of.
There are many reasons to choose this type of orthodontic brace to straighten your teeth, and here are just a few:
Our dental practice is close to the outskirts of Bristol, in Portishead. This means it is easy to travel from the centre of Bristol feel orthodontic treatment for invisible lingual orthodontics.
Are electric toothbrushes better than manual?
It’s a question we’re asked a lot at the practice – and in this video, Carol gives a clear, honest answer.
Electric toothbrushes can make it easier to clean effectively, especially if you struggle with technique, brushing for long enough, or reaching certain areas. Many people find they remove plaque more consistently, simply because they do most of the work for you.
That said, a manual toothbrush can still do a great job when used properly. It’s less about the brush itself and more about how you use it.
Watch Carol’s quick explanation to find out what we usually recommend – and how to make sure you’re getting the most from your brushing routine.
If you’re unsure whether your brushing technique is working for you, mention it at your next appointment and we’ll be happy to guide you. 🪥
Our Gromits have become quite the local celebrities here at Evolve 🐾💛
So many of you pop into our patient lounge just to see the collection, and we love how much joy they bring to patients of all ages.
At the moment, two of our Gromits seem to have wandered off on an adventure! We’re hoping they simply need a little help finding their way home.
If you happen to spot them locally or see anything that looks like part of our collection being sold, we’d really appreciate you letting us know. You can message us privately or call the practice.
They’re part of what makes Evolve feel like Evolve — and we’d love to have the whole family back together again.
Thank you for always looking out for us 💛

😴 Can snoring affect your oral health?
In our latest Two Thirty video, Maggie answers a question many people don’t think to ask — can snoring impact your teeth and gums?
The short answer is yes, it can.
Snoring is often linked to breathing through your mouth at night, which can cause a dry mouth. Saliva plays an important role in protecting your teeth, so when your mouth is dry, you may be more prone to tooth decay and bad breath.
If you snore and have noticed dryness, increased decay or concerns about your breath, it’s worth mentioning at your next appointment.
Our reception team at Evolve Dentistry in Portishead will be happy to arrange a consultation if you’d like advice.
⏰ Smile hack: When you brush matters
Did you know it’s not just how long you brush — but when you brush — that makes a difference? Maggie shares an important smile hack about timing your toothbrushing properly.
Brushing straight after eating — especially after acidic foods or drinks like fruit, juice or coffee — can actually do more harm than good. Your enamel is slightly softened, and brushing immediately can cause wear.
Maggie explains the best time to brush and why waiting can help protect your teeth long term.
It’s a small change that can make a big difference to your oral health.
