Getting wedding-ready with Invisalign®: A smile timeline for brides and grooms

Your wedding day is a moment you’ll remember forever - and naturally, you want to feel confident in every photo and every smile. For many brides, grooms, and members of the wedding party, Invisalign® offers a discreet, flexible solution to straighten teeth ahead of the big day.
At Marvel Orthodontics, we’ve helped many adults plan their orthodontic journey around their wedding. Here’s everything you need to know about preparing your smile with Invisalign®, including ideal timelines, expert guidance, and how to make it work with your celebration plans.
Why choose Invisalign® before your wedding?
Invisalign® is a clear aligner system designed to gently and discreetly straighten teeth. It’s especially suited to adults who want a subtle option that won’t interfere with their lifestyle - or their wedding photos!
Here’s why it’s a popular choice for couples preparing for their wedding:
- Nearly invisible in photos and video
- Removable for meals and special moments
- Comfortable and custom-fit to your teeth
- No food restrictions (just remove your aligners to eat)
- A confidence boost when it matters most
When should you start Invisalign® before a wedding?
Ideally, you’ll want to start Invisalign® treatment at least 6 to 12 months before your wedding. This allows time for:
- Your full treatment to progress, especially if your case is mild to moderate
- Visible improvements before your wedding photos
- Any teeth whitening or finishing touches post-treatment
Even if you’re earlier or later in your planning, we can tailor a treatment plan around your wedding timeline.
Dr Jessica Li says:
Many of our patients begin Invisalign® just after getting engaged so they can feel confident at every milestone - from engagement photos through to the big day. Even a few months of treatment can make a noticeable difference.
What if your wedding is in less than 6 months?
Don’t worry - Invisalign® may still be a great option. For some patients, short-term cosmetic treatment can help refine the front teeth and make a significant visual difference in a short time.
We’ll assess your goals and timeline during your consultation and provide a clear treatment plan based on what’s achievable before the big day.
Can I take my Invisalign® out for my wedding day?
Yes, you absolutely can. Invisalign® is designed to be removable, which means you can take your aligners out for key moments - like walking down the aisle, saying your vows, or your wedding portraits.
That said, many patients choose to keep their aligners in on the day. Here’s why:
- They’re practically invisible in professional photos
- You can speak clearly and comfortably with them in
- They help you stay on track with your treatment goals
Ultimately, it’s about what makes you feel most comfortable. If you'd prefer to remove them for a few hours, that’s perfectly okay - just be sure to put them back in soon after the festivities.
Can I whiten my teeth while using Invisalign®?
Yes! Many patients choose to whiten their teeth either during or after Invisalign® treatment. Depending on your timing, we can build professional whitening into your treatment plan to ensure your smile looks its best for the big day.
We’ll also talk to you about any finishing touches to complete your smile - whether that’s refinement trays, retainers, or whitening gels.
