You have one or more teeth that aren\u2019t quite straight. The uneven line of your smile bothers you, but correcting the misalignment with a full set of braces seems like overkill \u2013 not to mention inconvenient. You\u2019re not sure it would be worth the trouble to readjust some minor crookedness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if someone told you may not have to? Dental veneers<\/a> can make small dental imperfections look like they never existed. If you\u2019d like a more low-key solution to your bothersome angles, keep reading. This post will explain how it works!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Are Dental Veneers Orthodontics?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nope; in fact, dental veneers are a type of cosmetic dental treatment meant to improve your smile aesthetics. There\u2019s no metal, and there\u2019s also no pressure-applying aligners. So how do they correct crooked teeth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental veneers don\u2019t fix dental misalignment so much as they conceal unfavorable leaning. They\u2019re basically a fa\u00e7ade for your teeth. Your dentist will adhere a custom-crafted set of thin, porcelain shells overtop of your troublesome pearly whites, hiding any flaws underneath their glossy surface. Thus, your smile will appear <\/em>straight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Will the Treatment Process Look Like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These dental cosmetics will look bulky and unnatural if adhered directly to your teeth\u2019s outermost layer. They would also have a hard time staying adhered, because unaltered enamel is smooth, making it difficult for the \u201cglue\u201d to grip your teeth. To solve these dilemmas, your dentist will remove a tiny portion of your natural enamel \u2013 just enough to make room for your veneers and create a suitably rough surface texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Removing Enamel Safe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this instance, yes. Normally, worn out enamel is worrisome, since its primary job is to protect the more sensitive dental layers from bacteria and discomfort. However, your veneers will effectively replace your enamel as a shield. The porcelain material is highly durable. Actually, patients with weaker enamel layers often enjoy less dental sensitivity, because the veneers can more efficiently protect their teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are Dental Veneers Right for Me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re considering straightening your teeth with dental veneers, you should schedule a consultation with your dentist. They can examine your oral health to determine whether this treatment would be successful \u2013 if a condition like tooth decay or gum disease poses a risk to good results, they\u2019ll chart a course to take care of it. They can also address any concerns related to your unique dental situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reading up on dental veneers is one thing, but you can\u2019t beat a professional\u2019s advice! Call up your dentist and let them know what you\u2019re thinking. They\u2019ll help you achieve your dream smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
