If you\u2019re feeling self-conscious about your crooked grin, you\u2019re not alone. People with dental issues like this are more likely to report increased anxiety and depression because they\u2019re worried about how they\u2019ll be perceived. Fortunately, your dentist can enhance your appearance with cosmetic dental services<\/a> like porcelain veneers and Invisalign. Both options can transform your looks to boost your confidence. How do you know, though, which suits you best? Keep reading to learn more about each solution to help you decide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Treatment #1: Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Porcelain veneers are thin, ceramic shells that are attached to the front of your teeth to mask flaws. They\u2019re a versatile option that can be used to address several imperfections such as chipped, cracked, discolored, gapped, or slightly displaced teeth. They\u2019re customized to match the shade of your pearly whites so once they\u2019re in place, no one can tell the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before your dentist can place your veneers, they must remove a thin layer of your enamel so that the covers line up correctly against your gums. This protective outer layer won\u2019t grow back which means this preparation is irreversible. The structure of your tooth is slightly weakened as a result, so you\u2019ll need a veneer in place to shield it from potential injury down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veneers can last up to 15+ years with the right care, making this a great long-term solution to enhance your appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treatment #2: Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re more interested in fixing your uneven smile rather than hiding it, then Invisalign may be the better choice for you. This alternative to traditional braces relies on clear plastic aligner trays that fit over your teeth to gently move them to their ideal positions. Patients love that they can realign their pearly whites without metal brackets, which can be aesthetically intrusive.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll have to wear the aligners for 22 hours every day to prevent your pearly whites from reverting to their previous placements, and typically it takes about a year to complete treatment. Traditional braces require years to do the same work, which means Invisalign is both a discrete and effective method to upgrade your grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to determine the appropriate technique for you is to schedule a consultation with your dentist. They\u2019ll examine your mouth and provide recommendations based on their findings. Either way you choose, you\u2019ll be able to proudly show off your newly perfected smile once everything is complete!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
