Wedding straight teeth

[Brian]

Hi

I am getting married next year and one of the things I would like to sort out before the big day is my smile. My teeth are crooked and discoloured and I try not to show my teeth when I smile, so they need to be straightened before the wedding.

Could you tell me how I can get straight teeth for my wedding? I have about 12 months and the idea of invisible braces is much more attractive than metal braces but do I have enough time to rectify my teeth problems and get a nice wedding smile?

Hello Brian,

Thank you for your post.

Invisalign is an attractive option for straightening teeth. Most cases can be treated with invisalign and following an assessment we can confirm if your case can be treated or not. The average invisalign case takes 1 year to confirm so your case may be completed before your wedding day. Invisalign uses nearly invisible braces which are removable. You can take the aligners out on your wedding day if your treatment takes longer. Unlike some metal braces, invisalign is comfortable so it does not effect your everyday life.

To have straighter teeth you can have metal braces or clear braces. Metal braces are more suitable in some cases. Invisalign uses a series of clear plastic aligners which gradually move teeth to the desired position giving you the great wedding smile.

Following a consultation and assessment we will discuss the treatment options in more detail and how to achieve wedding straight teeth. We may feel veneers are more suitable for you and results are great with veneers.
