Many dental patients now get veneers or Invisalign to correct their crooked teeth. That’s only natural – both procedures can safely and effectively make a smile look straight! Still, these facts don’t answer a pressing question: Which treatment option<\/a> is right for you? If you want to address that point, your Skokie dentist is only too glad to help. Just keep reading to learn about veneers, Invisalign, and which service best suits your misaligned grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So, What Are Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some folks rely on veneers to fix their misaligned teeth. After all, this treatment option is nicknamed \u201cinstant orthodontics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veneers are thin, porcelain shells placed on the fronts of teeth. Once set, they can hide a wide range of smile flaws \u2013 stains, chips, cracks, misalignments, etc. The shells\u2019 porcelain also \u201cmatches\u201d your adjacent teeth, ensuring your treatment results blend seamlessly with your smile. That means friends and family won\u2019t even notice you have veneers on your grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should note some things if you consider veneers. The first is that teeth must be \u201cprepped\u201d for them, so treatment takes a few weeks. Second, a veneer procedure is irreversible; it removes enamel that won\u2019t grow back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign is quite popular as a way to correct crooked smiles. All in all, it offers perks that more traditional orthodontic work doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign consists of clear trays or \u201caligners\u201d worn over one\u2019s crooked smile. As you wear each aligner pair, treatment slowly moves your misaligned teeth into the right places. It\u2019s just a matter of wearing the trays 20-22 hours daily and switching to new aligner sets as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, those weighing Invisalign should also note a few points. One is that this treatment doesn\u2019t have \u201cinstant\u201d results; patients must wear aligners for a year or more. Next, you must attend periodic check-in visits with your dentist or orthodontist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which Service is Right for Me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Between veneers and Invisalign, the right option is the one tailored to your needs. Each procedure has strengths that can help some patients more than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, which treatment is ideal will depend on your situation. Veneers may suit you more if you want quick results and only have minor misalignments. On the other hand, Invisalign could work better if you have severely crooked teeth and need a lasting orthodontic solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, you should consult your dentist before you pick veneers or Invisalign. They\u2019ll help you choose the right option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
