It’s official. You’re getting married! You and the love of your life are taking the next step together. Congratulations!
You start to imagine your wedding dress or suit, wedding venue, wedding photos and – uh oh, you didn’t get braces or clear aligners this year like you told yourself you would! Now you’re wondering whether you still have time to straighten your teeth and get that radiant smile you’ve always wanted.
You’re in luck! At Fritz & Wilson Orthodontics in Holly Springs, we have options to help you look and feel your best on your wedding day. Let’s dive in:
Can I straighten my teeth without braces?
When you think of “teeth straightening” or “orthodontic treatment”, you probably think of braces. While we do offer different types of braces (including custom KLOwen® braces that can cut treatment time almost in half), we know that braces may not be the ideal choice for your tight wedding timeline.
We provide convenient Spark™ clear aligners as a more discreet alternative to braces! Spark aligners offer a virtually-invisible treatment that are conveniently removable, and just as effective as braces.
If you’re only looking to fix slight shifting before the big day, we offer in-house clear aligners designed for quick touch-ups and small retreatments. These aligners gently refine your smile without the time commitment of full treatment, helping you feel confident and photo-ready.
Say “I do” to clear aligner treatment!
Clear aligner treatment is an incredibly popular choice for brides and grooms! Using a series of clear, custom-made trays, clear aligners apply gentle, consistent pressure on your teeth, guiding them into a healthy alignment.
Here’s why many bride and grooms choose clear aligners to get their picture-perfect smile:
- No food restrictions. You can try all the catering and cake samples as you plan out your magical day with your soon-to-be-life-partner! Simply remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything besides water and brush your teeth before popping them back in.
- Practically invisible. Angel aligners are clear, allowing your budding new smile to shine through without the distraction of brackets and wires.
- Easy to care for. Unlike braces, clear aligners are removable and allow you to brush and floss as normal. This also means that you’ll be able to focus more of your budget on your wedding than purchasing specialty oral care products to keep your teeth and braces clean.
- You’ll see noticeable results by wedding season! With each custom-made tray, you’ll start seeing your smile transform little by little. Many clear aligner patients even start seeing results within the first 6 weeks!
Can I take my clear aligners out for a wedding?
Clear aligners are practically-invisible so it’s difficult to tell if you’re wearing an orthodontic appliance. If you’re worried about your aligners showing in photos, it’s ok to take them out for your wedding close-ups! Just log that time in your tracking app so you can keep track of your clear aligner wear for that day.
Can you see clear aligner attachments in pictures? Clear aligners attachments may be visible if you take close-ups of your wedding makeup or hairstyle. But this is an easy fix! Simply remove your aligners for these photos as your attachments and buttons are part of your clear aligners.
What about whitening my teeth before my wedding?
Yes, you can whiten your teeth before your wedding! Whether you’re in the middle of clear aligner treatment or just finished your last tray, you can safely whiten your teeth. Just take out your clear aligners to whiten your teeth, then pop them back in place once you’re done. This is a huge benefit to choosing clear aligners!
Dr. Fritz or Dr. Wilson can recommend a professional whitening solution for you. You can do at-home whitening with professional-grade treatment, or in-office whitening throughout clear aligner treatment.
Want faster results? Consider custom KLOwen® braces.
If your big day is a little farther out, you may be a perfect candidate for custom KLOwen braces: one of the fastest, most precise treatment options available.
