The First Few Days Of My Six Month Smile Journey

In my first blog entry, I explained why I decided to have Six Month Smiles, this is my progress after 2 weeks.
The first few days of my Six Month Smiles brace

It really has not been as bad as I thought it would be, eating is the worst bit,  but it does stop you snacking, so good for the diet!! I find I have to chop everything up a bit smaller and place it into the middle of my mouth and chew with my back teeth. I am also very conscious of having any food trapped in my brace so I make sure I carry my little cleaning kit around with me which I was given at the brace on appointment. Tepe Brushes are great for getting in between the brace and your teeth around the gums and my toothbrush does the rest. My teeth are a bit achey and on Saturday night I was a bit worried as they felt a little loose!! But Carol assured me this does happen and it proves my teeth are actually moving. It is a bit tender to bite together and my gums feel a bit sore under my top lip where the brace is rubbing. I have used quite a lot of the wax over the past few nights and that really does help. I made the mistake of having a curry, Carol did warn me that it may stain my brace and sure enough next morning it was a bit yellow!!! But a little Pearl Drops toothpaste, the whitening one, worked wonders and it was back to normal after two brushes.

Second week
I have gotten a bit more used to it now, sometimes I actually forget I have it, eating is a bit easier. I went on a girls night out at the weekend and I was dreading everyone seeing my brace but nobody really noticed.  I found myself telling people before they actually said anything to me… At work its been quite interesting some of the more frequent patients have asked me all about it and its good swapping stories and info with other Six Month Smile patients.

Day 14
I have not had to use any wax for about 5 days now so I think my lips and cheeks are just getting used to this brace in my mouth and I am not so conscious of it. Its odd but it was aching again today at the front bottom and I think its because they are moving. I can’t get the Tepe brushes between the same gaps as last week, its fascinating. Carol took some pics this afternoon as I am going on holiday tomorrow for two weeks and it was amazing comparing the pictures they have already begun to move and I cant wait to see when I come back if they have moved any more!

You can see the teeth beginning to move, it’s great to be able to see this progress!

More when I get back from my holidays.

Have you heard of ‘fibremaxxing’? 🌿

It may be a new buzzword, but eating more fibre has been important for years. Our latest blog explains why fibre is essential not only for digestion, but also for mood, energy, gut health and oral health too.

✨ Only around 4% of adults are thought to hit the recommended daily fibre target
✨ Small changes can make a big difference
✨ Diversity of plant foods is often the easiest place to start

If you’re curious about how to improve your health in a simple, sustainable way, this blog is for you.

Can chipped teeth be fixed without braces? In this latest Two Thirty episode, Carol explains that the answer depends on why the tooth chipped in the first place.

Sometimes teeth chip because of the way they meet or their position. In these cases, orthodontic treatment may be recommended to move the teeth into a healthier position and help prevent further damage.

For many chips, a simple and effective option is composite bonding - carefully adding tooth-coloured material to rebuild the shape and restore your smile.

Bleeding gums are never something to ignore. In this latest Two Thirty episode, Richard explains how gum disease often starts as gingivitis - where the gums become swollen and may bleed - but with the right care, this early stage can often be reversed.

If left untreated, gum disease can progress and may lead to bone loss around the teeth. The good news is that regular hygiene visits and good home care can make a real difference.

Watch the video to learn the signs to look out for and how we can help you maintain a healthy smile.

Lottie told us she never used to show her teeth when she smiled.

After completing her Invisalign treatment with Yasmin, she now loves smiling with confidence and showing her teeth.

We’re so pleased to have been part of her journey - and grateful for her lovely recommendation of Evolve Dentistry.

If you’ve been hiding your smile, we’d love to help. Message us to book a consultation.
