\"CloseIf you have a slight gap between your front teeth or other minor alignment flaws, braces can straighten your teeth. However, the average orthodontic treatment takes 12 to 24 months, which can be a long commitment for small concerns. You may have another option. Porcelain veneers<\/a> can provide instant orthodontics for patients with minor alignment problems. Here’s how you can have straight teeth in just a couple of appointments.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

Benefit From Instant Orthodontics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A veneer is a thin porcelain restoration that’s bonded to the front side of a tooth, improving its size, shape, and color. Bonding veneers to the teeth that show when you smile can fix many other issues, including small gaps and alignment concerns. You won’t have to spend several months wearing braces. In as few as two appointments, you can have straight, beautiful teeth to be proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Veneers are a popular cosmetic treatment for various reasons, like their versatility. They can be used to improve the appearance of stains, chips, and gaps. Porcelain allows veneers to be thinner than ever before, so less enamel is removed during the preparation process. This makes the procedure minimally invasive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You won’t have to worry about undergoing complex procedures. You’ll first require an initial consultation to ensure veneers are right for you. If your teeth and gums are healthy, you’ll be scheduled for the first phase of your treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your dentist will remove a small amount of enamel to ensure your veneers sit flush on your teeth. They’ll take a digital impression of your mouth to get the information necessary to craft your restorations and place temporary veneers to protect your teeth. A dental lab will fabricate your veneers, which may take a couple of weeks. Once your dentist has your final restorations, they will be applied to your teeth. Your veneers can last for a decade or more with the right care, like brushing and flossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Candidates for Instant Orthodontics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Veneers can be a great option for patients with minor alignment problems, but they aren’t right for everyone. If you have rotated, gapped, or overcrowded teeth, you may require braces before getting veneers. Your cosmetic dentist will create a personalized treatment plan to create a beautiful, confident smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
