Countdown to ‘I Do’: Achieve Your Dream Wedding Smile with Invisalign

Dr Alex Seijas of The London Orthodontic Clinic stepped up to help us with this reader question...

My fiancée proposed last month and we’re planning to get married in around a year’s time, we’re busy looking at venues. I have slightly wonky teeth at the front which haven’t bothered me before but now I would love to have them straightened before the big day? What are my options and how long would it take to improve my smile? Sarah, Exeter

Dr Alex Seijas of The London Orthodontic Clinic answers:  With around a year until your big day, now is the perfect time to start treatment to achieve your wedding smile. There are discreet and effective ways to straighten ‘slightly wonky’ teeth in time. One of the most popular is Invisalign treatment. These clear aligners are virtually invisible and custom-made to gently move your teeth into the desired position. They’re removable, so you can take them out for meals, photos or the wedding itself - if treatment hasn’t been completed before the big day.  

At your first consultation, a dentist will use 3D digital scanning technology to create a Smile Video showing how your teeth will look after treatment - giving you a vision of your future wedding-day smile in a moving video of your own face smiling and talking! 

Treatment time varies, but for mild alignment results can often be achieved in 6–12 months, making Invisalign treatment a good choice for brides and grooms-to-be.  Starting now means you’ll have plenty of time to complete treatment.  

An additional benefit of Invisalign straightening - it is possible to whiten teeth during treatment, so you’ll have a bright, white smile in time for the wedding, without any extra time needed and our Clinic offers payment plans to help with budgeting for your treatment.
