Quickest Way To Straighten Teeth Before Your Wedding
Getting married? Congratulations! Your dream wedding doesn’t need to become a nightmare, just because of your teeth. Great strides have been made in dentistry and orthodontics in the last few years. You can leverage everything from quick porcelain veneers to restorative dental work to achieve the smile of your dreams.
Getting A Consultation
It’s best to get dental concerns out of your way earlier on. So please book an appointment with a well-known, certified orthodontist soon after you get engaged. Don’t leave it too close to your wedding day. You need the extra time to undergo the cosmetic dental procedures, get used to your new smile and fix it if need be. Your treatment plan depends on how straight your teeth are, what your gum condition is like, and if you already have any fillings or crowns.
Choosing The Right Treatment For You
Today’s braces are more aesthetically pleasing and quicker acting than the ones before. Still, tooth-straightening takes time. Unless you have grossly misaligned teeth, don’t get into a total straightening treatment in time before the wedding.
Ask your orthodontist to consider the following options:
Invisalign
It’s one of the best straightening options without the use of ugly, traditional, metal braces. Invisalign uses clear aligner therapy on the market. Depending on the extent of your straightening needs, you might be required to shell out $4000 to $5500 for the treatment.
Caveat: Invisalign is a good option if you have a year’s time or so before your wedding day, for major straightening. If your teeth are mostly fine except for a few crooked ones out front, your treatment may last for a shorter time. However, you must keep your clear aligners on 24/7, except when eating, if you want good results.
The Verdict: Opt for Invisalign if you have only mild to moderate alignment needs before your D-Day.
Incognito Hidden Braces
Incognito braces are hidden behind your teeth and can be 100% customized for your teeth. They are comfortable, and can fix any smile issues. They are permanent, and you don’t have to worry about inserting them every day after eating and drinking. Incognito uses a system of intelligent brackets and wires to straighten your teeth.
Caveat
There’s a certain amount of sophisticated technology that goes into making Incognito™ Hidden Braces. As a result, they can cost a bit more than traditional treatments.
The Verdict
About 100,000 people around the world have opted for Incognito braces. They are highly suitable for people with challenging careers where a smile can make or break the deal.
Wilckodontics Braces
Wilckodontics (originally the Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics TM (AOOTM) procedure) is the amalgamation of various dental philosophies. AOOTM exploits the dynamics of bone physiology to redirect tooth movement. In short, the bone does most of the aligning work rather than being forced by the orthodontic fixture (as how it is with traditional straightening). Wilckodontics takes 3 to 4 times lesser time to straighten teeth than do conventional orthodontics treatments, making it ideal for someone planning a wedding.
Caveat: The treatment include a combined treatment , a collaboration between your treating orthodontist and a periodontist. Both treating doctors are specially trained in this technique, so you need to do your home work searching for the well trained team.
The Verdict: The treatment is quick, and multiple family members can join up to form a single payment structure, which is very family-friendly.
How To Make A Choice
Visit your orthodontist; tell him exactly how much time you have and get your straightening needs thoroughly evaluated. There might be more options, customized methods that might suit your special needs. Consider everything – the time taken, the money, the desired outcomes, the convenience and maintenance before you decide.
