If you’d like straighter teeth but would prefer a discreet alternative to fixed braces, Invisalign could be an option.
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually move your teeth towards their planned positions.
The aligners are removable for eating, drinking and cleaning your teeth and are designed to be worn for around 22 hours each day.
At Evolve Dentistry in Portishead, we’ll assess your teeth and bite, listen to what you’d like to change and explain whether Invisalign is suitable for you.
Invisalign is a clear aligner system used to straighten teeth.
Rather than brackets and wires, treatment uses a series of transparent aligners created specifically for your teeth.
You’ll move through the series as treatment progresses, with each aligner helping to gradually move your teeth according to your treatment plan.
Because the aligners are clear and removable, Invisalign can be an appealing option for adults who would prefer their treatment to be less noticeable.
Depending on your individual circumstances, Invisalign may be suitable for concerns including:
It isn’t necessarily the right treatment for everyone.
We’ll assess your teeth and bite before recommending an approach and explain any alternative options that may be more appropriate.
Not sure which option is right for you? Read our complete guide to adult braces.
We’ll start by talking about what you’d like to change and answering your initial questions.
You can begin with a free consultation with our Treatment Co-ordinator to find out more about Invisalign and what the next steps involve.
If you’d like to explore Invisalign further, we’ll assess your teeth, gums and bite and take any necessary X-rays.
Evolve is a digital scanning practice, so we use our iTero scanner to create a 3D digital image of your teeth without the need for traditional impressions.
Your digital scan helps us plan your treatment and can be used to show you a simulation of how your smile could change.
If Invisalign is suitable for you, we’ll create a treatment plan based on your individual needs.
We’ll explain what we’re aiming to achieve, how long we expect treatment to take and the cost before you decide whether to proceed.
Your Invisalign aligners are custom-made for you.
You’ll wear each set for a specified period before moving to the next aligner in the series. We’ll tell you exactly when to change yours.
For treatment to progress as planned, your aligners generally need to be worn for around 22 hours each day, removing them for eating, drinking anything other than water, and cleaning your teeth.
We’ll see you regularly during treatment to monitor how your teeth are moving and make sure treatment is progressing as expected.
The frequency of these appointments will depend on your individual treatment plan.
Moving your teeth is only part of the process.
Once your Invisalign treatment is complete, retainers help maintain the new position of your teeth.
We’ll explain how and when to wear them as part of your aftercare.
Your Invisalign package includes:
We want you to understand exactly what’s included before treatment begins, so you’ll receive a clear treatment plan and fee following your assessment.
Invisalign treatment at Evolve starts from £2,250.
Your exact fee will depend on your individual treatment needs and the complexity of the tooth movement required.
Following your assessment, we’ll provide a personalised treatment plan setting out the treatment we’re recommending, what’s included and the total cost.

Yes. Payment and finance options are available for Invisalign treatment.

Invisalign treatment typically takes 6–18 months.
Your individual treatment time will depend on factors including how much tooth movement is required, the complexity of your case and how consistently you wear your aligners.
Following your assessment and treatment planning, we’ll give you an estimated treatment time based on your individual circumstances.
You may notice some pressure or tenderness when you begin wearing a new aligner.
This can happen as the aligners apply gentle forces to move your teeth and usually settles as you become accustomed to each new set.
We’ll explain what to expect and we’re here if you’re concerned about anything during treatment.
Yes.
Because the aligners are removable, you’ll take them out to eat.
You should also remove them for drinks other than water and clean your teeth before putting them back in.
Being able to remove the aligners for meals and cleaning is one of the reasons some people prefer Invisalign to fixed braces.
Your aligners generally need to be worn for around 22 hours each day.
Consistent wear is an important part of keeping your treatment progressing according to plan.
If you don’t think wearing removable aligners for this length of time would suit your lifestyle, tell us. Another type of brace may be more appropriate for you.
You may initially notice a small change in your speech while you become accustomed to wearing your aligners.
For most people, this settles as the mouth and tongue adjust.
That’s absolutely fine.
Invisalign is one way of straightening teeth, not the only one.
Evolve offers different types of adult braces, including fixed braces.
Following your assessment, we’ll explain which options are suitable for your teeth, bite, lifestyle and treatment goals, along with the advantages and limitations of each.
The important thing is finding the treatment that’s appropriate for you, rather than choosing a particular type of brace before we’ve assessed your teeth.

Once your teeth have reached their planned positions, retention becomes an important part of protecting your result.
Teeth can continue to move throughout life, so you’ll need to wear your retainers as advised.
Your Evolve Invisalign package includes fixed and removable retainers where clinically suitable, as well as follow-up appointments for up to a year after treatment.
We use an iTero digital scanner as part of our Invisalign treatment planning.
The scanner creates a detailed 3D digital image of your teeth without the need for traditional impressions.
It can help us plan your treatment, show you a simulation of how your smile could change and monitor your progress during treatment.
Seeing genuine treatment results can help you understand what’s possible with Invisalign.

Every smile is different, so individual results vary. We’ll explain what may realistically be achievable for your teeth during your assessment.

There isn’t one type of brace that’s automatically best for everyone.
Invisalign offers the convenience of removable, clear aligners, while fixed braces may be more appropriate for some types of tooth movement or for someone who would rather not have to remember to wear removable aligners.
So rather than simply asking:
“Which brace is best?”
a more useful question is:
“Which treatment is most appropriate for me?”
That’s something we can help you answer.
Read: Which type of brace is best for me?
Invisalign aligners are clear and designed to be discreet, although they aren’t completely invisible.
Attachments or other features may also form part of your treatment depending on the tooth movements required.
The aligners are removable, but they generally need to be worn for around 22 hours each day for treatment to progress as planned.
If you have a particular event coming up, ask us for advice.
You’ll have regular reviews so we can monitor your progress.
The frequency will depend on your individual treatment plan, and we’ll explain this when you begin treatment.
Yes.
Teeth can continue to move after treatment, so retention is an important part of maintaining your result.
Fixed and removable retainers are included in your Evolve package where clinically suitable.
Invisalign can be used to treat many cases of crowding, but suitability depends on your individual teeth and bite.
We’ll assess this before recommending treatment.
Invisalign treatment at Evolve starts from £2,250.
We’ll provide your exact treatment fee following your assessment.

If you’re considering replacing an amalgam filling, you may have come across the term SMART.
SMART stands for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique. It is a protocol designed to reduce exposure to mercury vapour and particles while an amalgam filling is being removed.
At Evolve, SMART amalgam removal is available for adults who have made an informed decision to replace their amalgam fillings.
Importantly, we don’t suggest that everyone should have their amalgam fillings removed, and we don’t make claims that removing them will improve your general health.
Swipe through for a simple explanation of what the SMART approach involves.

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.

🦷 Day one, first clinic!
Carol has sent us the first photos from her trip — and what a first day it’s been!
Working alongside five other dentists, the team saw an incredible 197 patients in just one day. ❤️
In Carol’s words:
“I’ve taken out more teeth today than I have in the past year!”
A very different day in dentistry from the ones Carol is used to back home at Evolve, and a reminder of just how much need there is for the care the team is providing.
We’re so proud of her — and we’ll be sharing more updates and photos from Carol’s trip as they come in. 🌍🦷

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.
