In wedding day planning, nothing is left to chance. Between the sparkling dresses and a fabulous location, your smile should also shine.
It is important to move at the right time, however, because achieving a perfect smile requires more than makeup and hairstyling.
Depending on one's needs, it will be necessary to see one's dentist one month before the wedding in the case of tooth whitening alone, up to six to twelve months before for an orthodontic approach.
Not infrequently, the approach of marriage stimulates newlyweds to start taking more active care of their dental health, so this special event becomes an opportunity to address the right therapies, which will give dental health and also a better aesthetic appearance.
Teeth cleaning and teeth whitening
Basic treatment is the first step to clean teeth and gums. Teeth cleaning should be done once or twice a year according to one's needs, in order to eliminate plaque and prevent the onset of diseases or dental health risks.It is advisable to book it about ten days before the wedding, to preserve a clean and fresh mouth.
To achieve a dazzling smile, teeth whitening is recommended, a treatment that gradually reduces the original color of teeth, making them whiter and brighter: depending on the type of technique used, up to eight shades lighter can be achieved.
It is important to consult a professional who can suggest the most appropriate treatment for your situation, such as if you suffer from tooth sensitivity.
Finally, it is good to remember that the effect of whitening does not last forever: it varies from person to person and depends on many factors, such as salivation, enamel, and diet.
Invisible orthodontics
To align uneven teeth (crooked teeth) it is necessary to start treatment many months before the wedding, sometimes up to a year in advance.
Invisible appliances are available, convenient alternatives to classic braces that will enable you, with a little effort and dedication, to achieve outstanding results.
Clear aligners are very thin, easy to use and suitable for all ages.
In addition, if the treatment is not yet completed for the wedding day, do not worry because the equipment in addition to being invisible can be removed and will not appear in the photos.
Dental veneers
Dental veneers allow one to correct certain defects in one's teeth, such as in the case of discolorations, tooth erosions, alterations in shape and volume, or in the presence of small fractures.
These are thin prostheses composed of feldspar or lithium disilicate ceramics, which allow for improved smile aesthetics through minimally invasive restorations.
