Recently engaged? Congratulations!!!

A beautiful straight smile is almost a necessity for you since all eyes are going to be on you throughout your wedding day (and your engagement party, wedding shower, and other important events).

But what is the perfect timing for Invisalign? It’s a common question brides and grooms ask!

When Should You Start Invisalign Treatment?

In short, as soon as possible!

There are a few reasons for prioritizing this item on your wedding checklist. First of all, you need to get a dental exam beforehand. If your dentist finds an oral health concern present, like a cavity or gum disease, you will need to get the appropriate restorative treatment first. Naturally, this can delay your treatment timeline, so it’s important to plan ahead.

Secondly, the average treatment timeline with Invisalign is 12-18 months or as little as 6 months in some cases. So, it’s a good idea to give yourself ample time to achieve your smile goals. This will also provide some wiggle room in case you fall off-track with your original treatment plan, adding more weeks or months onto your timeline.

I’m not sure…

If you’re on the fence about whether or not to commit to Invisalign, it’s important to remember the Invisalign benefits that are especially helpful while planning a wedding:

Clear aligners – Since the trays are clear, they won’t draw any unwanted attention to your smile. In fact, you won’t be able to see them when you smile to capture wedding planning milestones, like engagement photos.

Fewer appointments to the orthodontist office– Invisalign requires less visits to the orthodontist office. Metal braces require visits to your orthodontist’s office every four weeks. Naturally, this can use up some of your valuable time. With Invisalign, visits may be scheduled every 4-8 weeks or less depending on your case.

Hassle-free oral hygiene – Wedding planning can be stressful at times, and the last thing you’re going to want to deal with is a cumbersome flossing routine. Don’t worry – keeping your teeth and gums healthy with Invisalign is super simple as they are removable.

No dietary restrictions – With traditional braces, you can’t eat popcorn, caramel, and other hard/sticky foods. Invisalign is different. Since the clear aligners are removable, you can take them out before cake tastings, wine pairings, etc.
