What's involved
A makeover starts with a consultation, photos and scans, and usually a digital design or wax mock-up so you can see the proposed result before anything is done.
The usual sequence is: straighten (aligners), then whiten, then reshape (bonding or veneers). Doing it in that order means less drilling and a better colour match.
Ask any practice for their own before-and-after photos of cases like yours, and a written treatment plan with staged costs.
Common questions
- How long before a wedding should I start?
- Six to twelve months if aligners are involved; a few weeks if it's whitening and bonding only.
- Do I have to have everything?
- No. A good dentist will show you a minimum-intervention option alongside the full plan.
- Can I see the result first?
- Yes — digital smile design and trial smiles let you preview and adjust before treatment starts.
