Imperfections in teeth can make people feel self-conscious, and prevent them from looking and feeling like their best selves. Crooked teeth can also impact the health of your teeth and gums, causing chronic jaw pain and headaches.
Fortunately, straightening and brightening smiles is easily attainable with modern dentistry. Choosing the best method for you to enhance your smile can be overwhelming, but here are two methods to consider for dramatic results: porcelain veneers and Invisalign® clear aligners.
The Beauty of Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers enhance the shape, colour, and uniformity of your teeth. Thin, porcelain shells placed on top of teeth provide a natural and beautiful enhancement. Veneers enlarge small teeth, eliminating gaps, and correct misshapen teeth.
This minimally invasive procedure can be completed in two office visits. First, the dentist removes a small amount of enamel from teeth, and a precise impression of teeth is taken with a moulding paste. Our skilled lab designs customized shells that fit comfortably onto the unique structure of your teeth.
The Advantage of Invisalign®
Invisalign clear braces also produce a beautiful smile. Using 3-dimensional computerized technology, the dentist shows you exactly how your smile will appear once the process is complete. Invisalign trays are clear, so you can straighten your teeth with more discretion than with metal braces. The aligner trays can conveniently be removed to eat or for special occasions. The soft plastic material used makes Invisalign trays fit comfortably throughout treatment. Teeth whitening gel can be placed inside the retainers as an added benefit. Most patients can experience the desired results in as little as a year.
The Invisalign system also treats the structural issues of your bite, correcting such concerns as underbites and overbites. Many patients experience relief from headaches, and jaw and neck pain with Invisalign clear braces. The process grants patients a bright, straight smile while restoring the healthy function of the jaw.
