If you are soon to be married in Los Angeles, Invisalign is going to be the best way to straighten your teeth and improve your smile before your wedding photos are taken. We work with many brides and grooms who are excited about their special day and want to be able to smile proudly for it. Teeth that are crooked, have gaps between them or are unsymmetrical can make wedding photos an uncomfortable experience. A major challenge couples may face, is when there is a set timeframe (i.e. the wedding date) since there are limited options for how to improve your smile and be discreet. Traditional braces, for example, will typically not complete the required treatment in time. Removing traditional braces for the wedding can be costly and inconvenient, so this is really not a good option.
Clear aligners, however, are an excellent choice, and here is why:
#1 – Fewer orthodontic appointments.
When we straighten your teeth with Invisalign, we will be giving you a series of clear aligners that surround your teeth like a full retainer. They put pressure on specific teeth in order to gently move them into place. Each aligner is worn for around two weeks and then switched out for the next one in the series. You can do this at home, which means less time in the dental chair than if you wore braces. Given how busy wedding planning can be, our treatment solution can give you much of the needed free time.
#2 – The aligners are clear.
The actual wedding day is the culmination of many events and activities. You may have an engagement party, showers, pre-wedding parties, and a variety of events that you will be attending together. These are also special occasions to document with cameras. When you are straightening your teeth with Invisalign, no one will be able to tell that you have your aligners in and your pictures will show your teeth, not braces.
#3 – The improvements to your teeth begin to show throughout the process.
When you wear metal braces, you cannot tell how well your teeth are improving until they come off. However, when your teeth are being straightened with Invisalign, you will begin to see the improvements as you go. This is a huge benefit because your smile will look better month after month, and if your treatment is not complete by the time you walk down the aisle, your smile will still look much better than before you started your treatment.
#4 – They come out.
Your aligners are removable and this makes them highly convenient. They can be removed when you are enjoying dinner with your family when you have your bridal shower, and when you are smiling for your engagement photos. Ideally, your treatment will be over in time for your wedding. However, if it is not, you can simply remove your Invisalign aligners for your entire wedding day and just enjoy yourself. You can smile with confidence, knowing that your teeth look much better than they did, and start wearing your aligners again on the day after.
