What about fixing teeth before marriage?

Seeing as how you are just over 30 days out I would say that's not enough time to adjust all of your teeth. I'm pretty sure it is an extensive process. I'm sure you will look every bit as lovely in your wedding photos.

Actually, my sister had hers fixed years ago very simply. Because her bite was fine and there was nothing wrong with her teeth otherwise, her gap was fixed with bonding. The dentist bonded the two front teeth making them slightly larger, closing the gap. A fairly simple non-invasive procedure. No real recovery time. She's had it redone once in 30 years.

@D&G114 I stand corrected that is awesome!

So I had braces the first time when I was a teenager and then didn't keep up with my retainer after they were taken off. Last fall, my job switched insurance so, after December 31st, I would be losing the option for orthodontic work. Well, I needed braces again so I got them in December so that I would be "grandfathered in" on the new insurance. Numerous things learned here:

1. Although my teeth will be straighter, they moved more than I thought. So it wasn't quick or inexpensive. I'll have them until a week before the wedding and still be paying them off until December 2017.

2. Not simple. Bands, numerous wires, bonding, whole 9 yards.

3. I've already given them $2500, I still have $2041 left. Bad timing to pay off braces while paying for a wedding.

4. I should have just felt comfortable with the mouth I had because now my engagement pictures have me with braces or a forced smile because I'm self-conscious about it.

Personally, I would not make this choice to have braces during my engagement (if I could make the choice again). So I would really think about it before you do this to yourself right before your wedding. FH loves me, no matter what my teeth look like, and I shouldn't have felt like I needed perfect teeth for the wedding. I probably wouldn't have gotten braces again if I hadn't had a really hard time eating foods like sandwiches, bratwurst, etc. I couldn't get a clean bite through them, had to rip my food. It was gross.

Like D&G said, if your bite is fine bonding is a definite option. I wanted to go that route but ended up needing braces for a year. So glad I did all of this 3 years ago, but my wedding photos were at the top of my mind, I was nowhere near engaged.

ETA/ I also had a frenectomy done which removed the skin between the gap when the space got closer together.

My mom had bonded veneers put on three weeks before my wedding to fix the gap in her front teeth. I told her she liked beautiful before, but she felt more confident without the gap. No real recovery time at all. If you can afford it and it will make you feel better, do it!

Veneers are probably your best short term option. To actually fix the gap, youll have to fix the underlying issue-which would likely require removing the excess gum tissue from the gap and then using braces to pull them together.....that cant be done in a month. I had mine done as kid because I had a HUGE gap. My mom is an orthodontist and was 'blessed' with children that all had major ortho needs.

Thank you all for sharing your valuable thoughts.

Bonding was super easy and quick. My two front teeth were uneven, due to crowding one tooth moved back wards. It took 20 min. Keep in mind it's super porous and stains easily from coffee, smoking and red wine. I haven't redone mine in a year and only I notice but I'm having it redone again

Can it be done in such a short time?

OP, I think your best bet is to be evaluate at your DDS appointment & see what they recommend. Be sure to tell them your concerns/wedding date & go from there. Every situation is different...

Yeah..I will tell them in detail.
