There are several dentistry options to help you achieve a healthy-looking smile. Some of the best choices include acquiring braces or porcelain veneers. Both approaches are highly effective, and each has its advantages. As a result, it is customary to be torn between which treatment will best fit you. Our team provides a clear and concise description of both and allows you to choose the treatment that suits your needs.
Dental braces
Braces are orthodontic appliances used to straighten teeth over time, correcting misalignment and other bite-related problems. The treatment period for braces usually lies between two to three years.
Dental braces are non-invasive as they straighten your teeth and leave them intact. Braces fix misalignment, which usually leads to advanced dental problems if untreated. Such issues include crowding and receding gums.
On the other hand, braces take a long period of time to achieve the desired results. In addition, the aftercare is cumbersome as you will be required to wear a retainer for some time after removing your braces to prevent the teeth from moving back into the original position.
Porcelain veneers
Veneers are thin tooth-like shells that are custom-made to cover the front of the teeth to make them more uniform and symmetric. This dental treatment is used to fix discolored teeth, chipped or broken teeth, and gapped teeth.
Veneers change the shape and color of your teeth instead of braces that only change their position. In addition, the application of veneers takes only a few visits to the dentist.
The most pronounced disadvantage concerning veneers is that their application requires the removal of part of your teeth' enamel to accommodate the thickness of the veneer. This procedure is permanent, and consequently, you will be subjected to wearing masks for the rest of your life.
