When it comes to discrete tooth alignment, you might think Invisalign is your only option. However, it turns out that dental veneers can correct misaligned teeth too. Of course, knowing that may prompt a new question in your mind:” What’s the difference between Invisalign and veneers when it comes to fixing my smile?”
To help you find the answer, here’s a summary of each treatment’s benefits and why to see your dentist for a consultation.
Benefits of Veneers for Misaligned Teeth
While dental veneers are better known for covering up cracks, chips, and stains, they can also correct minor misalignment. By adhering to enamel surfaces, their porcelain material can make crooked or spaced-out teeth look straighter.
This process would have multiple advantages. First, the veneers could treat multiple cosmetic concerns rather than just the misalignment. Their results will also last a long time with proper care — up to fifteen years! Their boost to your smile could also help improve your confidence in social situations.
Given these facts, the ideal veneer candidate is someone with healthy teeth who wants to improve their smile appearance.
Benefits of Invisalign for Misaligned Teeth
Invisalign can straighten teeth without traditional braces’ brackets and wires. Its series of clear and discrete aligning trays can give you an aligned smile and proper bite easily and effectively!
These trays are well-known for their many benefits. Being entirely removable, they don’t interfere with your meals or oral care. Their clear, transparent looks also make them virtually undetectable to friends and family. They can even address gapped teeth, overcrowding, and more in just a year or so.
Invisalign is ideal for adults committed to aligning their crooked teeth rather than just masking them. That means wearing the aligners for twenty-two hours per day and attending follow-up appointments every six weeks.
Which is Right for You?
Before deciding between veneers and Invisalign, consult with your local dentist. They can recommend a good choice based on your particular smile goals and dental needs. Furthermore, they can consider which treatment would better fit your lifestyle, orthodontic issues, and budget.
As you can see, dental veneers and Invisalign could both help you with misaligned teeth. Talk to your dentist to see which would better meet your dental wants and needs!
