There are multiple ways to improve your smile. Two that make some of the biggest changes are porcelain veneers and Invisalign invisible braces. You may be wondering which of these procedures might be the right one for you. Highland Park cosmetic dentist, Dr. Brent A. Engelberg, is here to give you the low-down on both to help you arrive at a decision.
Invisible? Really?
It’s no exaggeration. There is a way to straighten your teeth without people even realizing as such when you smile. Crooked, misaligned, over-crowded teeth can affect your dental and jaw health in negative ways. Complications of ignoring malocclusion issues might include difficulty instituting complete oral hygiene. How can you floss and clean teeth properly when they’re on top of each other? Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) can be another issue of crooked teeth. Luckily, there’s an inconspicuous way to arrive at the smile of your dreams. Treatment times for Invisalign are variable from case-to-case. The clear aligners use gentle force that is likely to be much more comfortable than traditional braces. Invisalign does not require that you see a dedicated orthodontist. Dr. Engelberg can provide you with everything you need. All you have to do is smile.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a good option when the dental issues you have are not affecting your dental health but are purely cosmetic. Dr. Engelberg starts with an examination to ensure that your teeth and gums are in good shape to withstand the cosmetic procedure. Measurements and impressions will be taken to be sent to a ceramist who will fabricate high quality porcelain wafers. Porcelain veneers offer translucence that is very tooth-like. Veneers are like a smile makeover for people that have an overwhelming amount of cosmetic dental issues including overlapping or slightly crooked teeth that are not bad enough to affect dental hygiene efforts.
