Porcelain veneers are sometimes referred to as instant orthodontics because they can be used to correct the appearance of minor crookedness. Veneers do not actually straighten your teeth, but they can make them look straight without the hassle and time commitment of wearing braces or using Invisalign. In addition, you get the benefit of correcting the appearance of other dental flaws such as discoloration and unevenly sized teeth.
Fast and Convenient
Porcelain veneers can give you a beautiful, straight smile in just two office visits. You don’t have to spend months or years waiting for your teeth to slowly move to the correct position, as you make multiple visits to the orthodontist for adjustments. You can skip the discomfort or straightening your teeth, and the inconvenience of caring for teeth with braces or wearing aligner trays.
Special Occasions
Want your teeth to be photo-ready in time for a wedding, graduation, or another special occasion? Porcelain veneers may be the solution for you. You have enough on your plate without having to commit the time and effort it takes to go through traditional orthodontics.
For Those Who Have Already Worn Braces
If you had your teeth straightened with traditional orthodontics when you were a teenager, only to have them shift out of place when your wisdom teeth came in later in life, you probably don’t want to go through the process all over again. The hard work has already been done.
Now you can correct the minor crookedness that came back in a quick and easy treatment. And, you can take care of multiple issues at once. If you have stains that do not respond to whitening, chipped teeth, or teeth that are unevenly sized, porcelain veneers will cover these flaws as well.
