The quickest way to make a crooked tooth look straight is composite bonding, and it’s done in a single appointment. It doesn’t move the tooth. Instead, your dentist reshapes it with tooth-coloured resin, so it looks level straight away. It works best for small problems, like one twisted or uneven tooth.
Actually moving teeth takes longer. Clear aligners usually take six to 18 months, and nothing safely moves teeth in a few weeks. Your dentist needs to check your teeth before you start.
If you’ve got a few months before your event, aligners are the other option. You wear them around 22 hours a day, and you only take them out to eat, to drink anything other than water, and to clean your teeth.
