Invisilign Makes Your Wedding Photos Rock!

Photos are such an important part of your wedding day, you'll want lots of great photos and nice straight pearly whites are critical. As a recent mother of the bride, I am well aware of just how critical a pretty smile is to having wedding photos you'll love. As a wedding blogger I also work with a lot of wedding photographers all of whom suggest teeth straightening for brides-to-be. My daughter's wedding photographer said "a confident smile makes all the difference in your wedding photos."

Invisilign is the perfect way for brides (and grooms) to straighten their teeth and feel confident that their smiles are perfect for their special day. No more ugly old braces--there is a reason they are called Invisilign--no one can see them.

How can you find an Invisilign specialist? Look for an Invisilign specialist using Find A Doctor feature. This makes it easy to find a specialist in your area, no driving forever for Invisilign brides!


Invisilign is the modern way to straighten your teeth. They use a custom-made set of aligners that are for you alone. They are comfortable to wear and are made of smooth and nearly invisible plastic. The aligners snap into place over your teeth. Not your usual braces! When you wear these custom aligners your teeth will gently and gradually shift into perfect alignment. Your dentist or orthodontist plan the exact amount of movement based on your individualized plan. No more ugly metal braces or sharp wires. Change the aligners approximately every two weeks until you and your dentist are happy with the results. The best part is most people will never realize you are straightening your teeth when you are using Invisilign. Your smile will be perfected without interfering with your busy lifestyle. (And we all know just how busy a bride-to-be is).



Invisilign can help everything from mild cases of crooked or protruding teeth to more complex issues that involve serious over or underbites or serious malocclusions. No matter which of these problems you are facing Invisilign has an affordable way to straighten your teeth before your wedding day. You invest so much into your wedding day to make everything perfect, don't forget to invest in your smile. See examples of the types of problems Invisilign can help you with here.

Worried about how much Invisilign will cost? Just head to their cost calculator to find out how affordable straightening your teeth can be.  When you combine your insurance coverage, flexible spending account and easy payments you can't NOT get Invisilign. And if you're the mother or father of the happy couple, consider getting Invisilign for you too--Invisilign is not just for brides, it's for grooms and the family of the couple getting married too.  Visit Invisilign's web site and learn more about it and how it can give you a mega-watt smile on your wedding day.
