Planning around a wedding or a big event
Many people start thinking about their smile ahead of a wedding, a milestone birthday or a big occasion with lots of photos. If you have a date in mind, it's worth getting advice early, because treatment time depends on your teeth, not on the calendar.
- Tell the dentist your date at your consultation, so they can say whether it's realistic
- Many mild to moderate cases take around 4 to 12 months, and complex cases can take longer
- Ask whether you can take your aligners out for a few hours on the day itself, as wear time matters
- Allow time at the end for any refinements, and for getting used to your retainers
If your event is very soon, your dentist may suggest a different plan, or simply starting treatment afterwards. Honest advice now saves disappointment later.
Whitening and aligners
Some people want to whiten their teeth as well as straighten them. In the UK, tooth whitening has to be provided by a dentist, or by a dental hygienist or therapist working to a dentist's prescription. Ask your provider whether whitening is an option for you, what it costs and when it would fit in. It's often done towards the end of straightening, once the teeth are in their final position.
Making the most of your consultation
Write down what bothers you about your smile before you go, and take a photo you like of yourself smiling if it helps explain what you want. Ask what's included in the price, how often you'll be seen, and what happens after treatment ends. You don't have to decide on the day.
