If you aren\u2019t happy with the current appearance of your smile, there are a variety of cosmetic solutions out there to help you achieve the beautiful grin that you have been dreaming of. Veneers<\/a> are a popular option because they correct a wide range of aesthetic flaws at once. This spans from chips, gaps, staining, misshapen teeth, and undersized teeth, but what about misalignment? Continue reading to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Do Veneers Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells of porcelain that are placed over the front-facing surfaces of the teeth to mask imperfections. Veneers are usually placed in two separate appoints. During your consultation, your dentist will carefully examine your teeth to ensure that you have good enough dental health to support strong veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, your dentist prepared your teeth by removing a small amount of protective enamel to make room for the veneers. Impressions will be taken of your altered teeth to be sent to the dental lab where your final restorations will be made. In just a few weeks, your new restorations will be ready!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can Veneers Correct Misalignment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Veneers mask a wide range of cosmetic issues. However, they ae unable to physically move your teeth. Ultimately, if you have severe misalignment or crookedness, veneers could be enough to give you the polished smile that you have been hoping for. In some cases, veneers can cover the appearance of crooked teeth entirely if this issue is mild enough. If you have a significant bite issue, this will need to be addressed using orthodontic treatment. Depending on the extent of your misalignment, your dentist will determine if veneers can help you get the results you are looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Else Can Misalignment Be Corrected?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have more significant misalignment, or you have bite issues, orthodontic treatment, like traditional metal braces or Invisalign, is likely a better solution. Traditional braces are the tried and tested way to address even the most significant cases of misalignment. Alternatively, Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to slowly shift the teeth into their rightful locations. If you want to get orthodontic treatment and veneers, you should get orthodontic treatment first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have minor misalignment, veneers could be able to give you the results that you are looking for. By scheduling a consultation with your dentist, you can put together a plan to meet your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
