It’s a question I get asked often; “ I’m too old to wear a brace aren’t I?”
So, how old is too old? When is the perfect time to wear a brace or get your teeth straightened? The answer is easy really, anytime you want to. It’s a myth that braces are the realm of the teenage world, maybe metal train tracks are more commonly worn by teenagers, but in the adult world there are many systems that are very discreet or invisible so no one would know that you are wearing a brace.
Many celebrities decide to have their teeth fixed as they are increasingly in the eye of the media, some have veneers such as Rylan Clark, others wear an invisible brace such a Chris Evans, but it’s not just for celebrities getting the smile they’ve always wanted.
At Evolve we have patients in their 70’s who decide to wear a brace to straighten their teeth and it changes their life, they no longer feel self-conscious about their teeth and their confidence increases massively. However, I would not advocate that everyone waits until their 70’s, wearing a brace as a teenager is an ideal time as it’s more likely that their friends are wearing them as well.
Unfortunately in this day and age, with waiting times in the NHS sometimes taking up to 2 years before treatment is started, your teenager is no longer prepared to wear a brace as they have other priorities now in their lives such as girlfriends or boyfriends. So the window of opportunity is missed. With reduced funding within the NHS, not everyone is treated free of charge anymore, so there is no guarantee that you would get treatment once you have been for the consultation. The alternative is private treatment.
Before you think, well that’s really expensive, it may not be as expensive as you think, straigh forward treatment can cost from £1,943 and as orthodontics usually takes a few months, payment can be spread out over a few months to ease the burden.
Everyone can have a celebrity smile, your smile is the most important part of you face with 87% of people noticing your smile first, so don’t delay, do something today!!

This morning, our Clinical Director, Carol Somerville Roberts, was featured on BBC Radio Bristol discussing something we are incredibly passionate about – the connection between oral health and your overall wellbeing. 🦷✨
Many people don’t realise that your oral health can have an impact on the rest of your body, with links between gum health and conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and dementia.
During the interview, Carol shared practical advice on maintaining good oral hygiene and why looking after your mouth is about so much more than just your smile.
We’re so proud to see Carol helping to raise awareness of the importance of preventive dental care across our local community. 💙

Still feeling incredibly proud
A few months on, and we’re still celebrating Carol Somerville Roberts in her role as President of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
It’s something we don’t take lightly - representing the profession at this level, while continuing to care for patients here at the practice, is no small thing.
What makes us most proud is that nothing changes for our patients. The same calm approach. The same honest advice. The same focus on doing what’s right for you.
Just with a little extra recognition behind it.
A big moment for Carol - and a proud one for all of us at Evolve.
