Perhaps you’ve always wanted straighter teeth, noticed your smile changing over time or simply feel ready to explore your options.
At Evolve Dentistry in Portishead, we offer adult orthodontic treatment designed around your teeth, your lifestyle and what you’d like to achieve.
From discreet fixed braces to clear aligners, we’ll help you understand the options available and make a decision that feels right for you.
Absolutely not.
Adults of different ages can benefit from orthodontic treatment. What matters most is the health of your teeth and gums and whether treatment is suitable for your individual circumstances.
You might be considering braces because you have crowded teeth, gaps, teeth that have moved since previous orthodontic treatment or concerns about your bite.
Whatever your reasons, we’ll begin by listening to what you’d like to change.
There isn’t one type of brace that’s right for everyone.
At Evolve, we’ll assess your teeth and discuss the advantages and limitations of the treatments suitable for you.
Fixed braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into their planned positions.
They can be suitable for a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including crowded teeth, spacing and certain bite problems.
Depending on your treatment needs, more discreet options may be available.
Clear aligners use a series of removable, transparent trays to gradually move your teeth.
They’re popular with adults who would prefer a less noticeable orthodontic appliance.
Aligners need to be worn consistently and aren’t suitable for every orthodontic problem.
That depends on your teeth, your bite, your lifestyle and what you’d like to achieve.
We’ll explain your options clearly, including any limitations, so you can make an informed decision.
Adult braces at Evolve Dentistry start from £2,275.
Our published orthodontic fees include X-rays, brace fitting, fixed and removable retainers, home tooth whitening and emergency appointments.
We also offer payment options, with payments spread across the course of treatment.
Your exact fee will depend on the treatment recommended following your assessment.
We’ll explain the full cost and what’s included before you decide whether to proceed.
We’ll talk about your smile, your concerns and what you’d like to achieve.
We’ll examine your teeth and bite, carry out appropriate records and explain which orthodontic options may be suitable.
Your braces or aligners will gradually move your teeth towards their planned positions.
We’ll review your progress throughout treatment and make adjustments where necessary.
Once treatment is complete, retainers help maintain your result.
We’ll explain how to look after your retainers and why long-term retention matters.
Choosing orthodontic treatment is about more than choosing a brace.
It’s about finding a team you feel comfortable with throughout your treatment.
At Evolve, we believe in taking the time to understand what matters to you.
We’ll explain your options, answer your questions and help you make an informed decision without pressure.
Our approach is personal, supportive and focused on achieving a result that’s appropriate for your individual needs.
Sometimes seeing another patient’s experience can help you understand what orthodontic treatment involves.

Individual results vary, and we’ll always explain what may be achievable for your own teeth.
Treatment time varies depending on the position of your teeth, your bite and the type of orthodontic treatment required.
We’ll provide an estimated treatment time following your assessment.
You may experience temporary pressure or tenderness when braces are first fitted or adjusted.
Most patients find that this settles as they become accustomed to their appliance.
Neither option is automatically better.
Both have advantages and limitations, and suitability depends on your individual orthodontic needs.
Teeth can continue to move throughout life.
Wearing retainers as advised is an important part of maintaining your orthodontic result.
Yes. Evolve offers payment options, which we’ll explain as part of your personalised treatment plan.
Your package includes the following:

Payment is due in full prior to the brace being fitted.

Have you ever wondered whether orthodontic treatment might be worth exploring?
It isn’t only about having perfectly straight teeth.
You might decide to ask about adult braces because:
• you feel self-conscious about crowded or overlapping teeth
• gaps bother you
• your bite doesn’t feel quite right
• teeth have moved since you had braces when you were younger
• cleaning between crowded teeth is difficult
• you avoid smiling in photographs
• you simply want to understand what could be possible
None of these automatically means you need braces.
A consultation is simply a chance to understand your smile, discuss what you’d like to change and find out whether orthodontic treatment is appropriate for you.

Do you clench or grind your teeth without realising?
For some people it happens during sleep. Others notice themselves clenching when they’re concentrating or under pressure.
Over time, tooth grinding can contribute to worn or chipped teeth, jaw discomfort, headaches or sensitivity.
Richard explains some of the common reasons people grind their teeth and why it’s worth mentioning if you think you might be doing it.
There isn’t one solution that’s right for everybody, so the first step is understanding what’s happening in your individual case.

Of course we care about what happens to your teeth.
But we care about how you feel while you’re here, too.
Whether you’re visiting for a routine Healthy Mouth Review, considering a change to your smile or coming to see us because something is worrying you, we want you to feel listened to, informed and comfortable asking questions.
In this short video, Carol talks about the experience she wants every patient to have at Evolve.
Because good dentistry isn’t only about the treatment. It’s about the person receiving it.

Having amalgam fillings doesn’t automatically mean they need to be replaced.
If a filling is sound and the tooth is healthy, there may be no dental reason to remove it.
Some adults choose to explore replacement because a filling is failing, because of its appearance, or because they have made a personal decision that they would prefer an alternative material.
What matters is having the information you need to make an informed choice.
In this video, we talk through some of the reasons an amalgam filling might be replaced, and when leaving it alone may be the appropriate option.
#AmalgamFillings #SMARTAmalgamRemoval #DentalCare #EvolveDentistry
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.
In this video, we explain what the SMART approach involves and why someone might choose it.
