What is an orthodontist?

What is an orthodontist?

An orthodontist is a specialist who has carried out additional training after qualifying as a general dentist. They specialise in moving teeth, both for cosmetic and functional reasons.

What’s the difference between an orthodontist and a general dentist?

General dentists help patients improve and maintain their oral health, dealing with teeth, gum, nerves and jaw. While orthodontists specialise in the movement and aligning teeth only.

Can orthodontists clean teeth?

A hygienist is the best clinician to carry out this type of treatment. Here at Evolve we have 2 hygienists that you can book appointments with.

Do you still need to see your dentist during teeth straightening treatment?

Your orthodontist will not be carrying out healthy mouth reviews (check ups) during your orthodontic reviews, they will be checking the progress of the movement of your teeth. It’s more important than ever to see your general dentist for check ups to ensure that your teeth and gums remain healthy.

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.

Your future smile could start this month.

Our clear aligner teeth straightening promotion includes free consultation appointments over the next four weeks, rather than just one day - making it easier to find a time that suits you.

Only 6 appointments available.
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.
