Read a case study of Invisalign® Aligners from one of our patients.
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gently straighten your teeth. Each set of aligners is custom-made to gradually move your teeth into their ideal position. They’re nearly invisible and more comfortable than traditional metal braces.
Treatment duration varies depending on individual cases, but most people complete their Invisalign journey in 6 to 18 months. Your dentist or orthodontist will provide a personalised estimate after your initial consultation.
Invisalign can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, including overcrowding, gaps, cross bites, overbites and underbites. While it’s suitable for most teens and adults, a consultation with an Invisalign provider in Portishead will determine if it’s the best option for you.
Costs can vary depending on the complexity of your case. On average, Invisalign treatment in the Portishead area typically ranges from £3,025 to £5,000. Evolve Dentistry offer interest-free finance plans to make treatment more affordable.
Invisalign aligners are made from a clear, medical-grade plastic, making them virtually invisible when worn. Most people won’t even notice you’re having orthodontic treatment.
Yes – one of Invisalign’s biggest advantages is that the aligners are removable. You’ll take them out to eat and drink, so there are no food restrictions. Just remember to brush your teeth before putting them back in.
For best results, you should wear your aligners for 22 hours per day, only removing them to eat, drink, brush and floss. Consistent wear is key to achieving your desired smile.
You may notice a slight lisp during the first few days as your tongue adjusts, but this usually disappears quickly. Most patients speak normally within a week of starting treatment.
Invisalign typically requires fewer appointments than traditional braces. You’ll usually visit your dentist every 6 to 8 weeks to monitor progress and collect your next set of aligners.
To maintain your new smile, you’ll need to wear a removable retainer – usually at night. You will also have a fixed retainer fitted as part of your package with Evolve Dentistry.
We are very proud to be a digital scanning practice. You will no longer need to have impressions taken for your Invisalign treatment, a simple scan will enable the Dentist to show you a full simulation of what your smile could like after Invisalign treatment and also allow us to track your treatment progress to ensure that you’re treatment is progressing as it should be.
An iTero scanner is an intra-oral digital scanner which creates a digital 3D image of your teeth. This can be used before, during and after braces, it can also be used to send the digital scan to a dental laboratory for restorative work such as crowns, bridges or veneers.
An orthodontist is a dentist who has done additional training, between 3-5 years on top of their dental degree.
We recommend that if you have any concerns about your brace, to contact your practice to see if you need to be seen by the dentist or orthodontist.
It is recommended that children are always accompanied by an adult who is in a position to consent to any necessary treatment or x-rays.
Invisalign is the brand name of a clear aligner system.
They both work very well and it is usually recommended that you have the brace that suits your lifestyle and budget. Generally, ceramic braces are less expensive than Invisalign but are more visible, but you must have the discipline to wear the aligners as prescribed by your dentist or orthodontist. So, it’s down to an honest discussion with your clinician about which is the best option for you.
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.
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. 🪥

😴 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.
