Braces Before a Wedding: A Deadline Planner

Enter the date and see when you would need to start for a typical course to finish in time, and what to ask a practice about the schedule.

Work back from the date

This uses typical course lengths. It is not a prediction for your teeth: only an orthodontist who has examined you can give an expected finish date. How we compile this.

What to ask a practice

What is the expected finish date for my case, and how confident is it?

What happens if treatment is not finished by my date?

How many appointments are there before the date, and when does the last adjustment fall?

Will I be in a retainer, and at what point does it start?

Is any preparatory dental work needed before treatment can begin, and how long does it take?

Is the fee the same if the plan is shortened or lengthened?

Braces and a fixed date: questions

How long before a wedding should I start braces?
Can I get braces off before a specific date?
Do I need a retainer straight after braces?
Does this tell me whether treatment will work in time?
What if there is not enough time?
