One of the solutions that we offer at Evolve Dentistry in Portishead, near Bristol is ceramic brackets. The brackets and wires are tooth coloured, making them a discrete subtle option, which many people find completely acceptable for both children and adults.
The advantage of ceramic brackets is that they give an excellent result as well as be a cost-effective solution.
The dentist will first apply a solution called etch to each tooth, this will ensure they are clean and dry. The tooth-coloured brackets are then carefully positioned onto each tooth before a thin tooth-coloured wire is passed through each bracket. The wire is held in place by clear plastic ‘O rings’.
You will visit the practice for a review every 6-8 weeks during your treatment. During this appointment, the progress of your treatment will be monitored, and the wire will be changed, slowly increasing in thickness as your teeth move into the perfect position.
Once your brace is removed, we will make a personal removable retainer for you. This is an invisible, removable retainer that you wear at night to ensure your teeth remain in their new position. You may also have a fixed retainer fitted as well.

Your mouth doesn’t exist in isolation. Gum health, inflammation and oral hygiene can all play a role in your wider wellbeing – from heart health to confidence and mental wellness.
We’ve just published a new blog exploring the link between oral health and overall wellness, and why looking after your teeth and gums is about much more than your smile.
If you’re interested in oral health and general health Portishead, this is a great read and a helpful reminder of how small daily habits can support long-term health.

When is root canal treatment needed?
It’s a question many patients ask — and in this video, Richard explains it clearly and simply.
Root canal treatment is usually needed when the nerve inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected. This can happen because of deep decay, a crack in the tooth, repeated dental work, or sometimes after an injury.
You might experience symptoms like persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers, pain when biting, or swelling around the gum. However, sometimes there are very few symptoms at all — which is why regular check-ups at the practice are so important.
The good news is that root canal treatment is designed to relieve pain, not cause it. It removes the infection, saves the natural tooth, and helps you avoid extraction.
Watch Richard’s video to understand the signs to look out for — and if you’re worried about a tooth, get in touch with our reception team for advice.


Smile Hack 🍎🥕
Love a sweet treat? Jane shares a simple swap that your teeth will thank you for.
Sticky sweets cling to your teeth and sit in the tiny grooves for longer, feeding the bacteria that cause decay. The longer they stick around, the more damage they can do.
Instead, try swapping them for crunchy veg or a handful of nuts. Foods like carrots, cucumber and peppers have a natural crunch that helps stimulate saliva, which protects your teeth. Nuts are also a lower-sugar option and far less likely to cling to enamel.
Small changes really do make a big difference over time.
