Many patients with uneven smiles feel self-conscious and want to make a change. However, traditional braces can be costly and time-consuming. Today, dentists encourage patients to consider convenient cosmetic dentistry options to improve the appearance of uneven teeth without the need for braces. This blog shares the top cosmetic solutions that can help your smile become even and symmetrical.
Clear Aligners
ClearCorrect aligners straighten teeth with ease. They are comfortable, discreet, and efficient. If you have gaps, crowding, or mild to moderate malocclusion, clear aligners can be as effective as braces.
Cosmetic Bonding
Bonding is one of the quickest and most affordable solutions for uneven teeth. Cosmetic bonding is part art and part science. Your dentist will use a safe resin material to sculpt your teeth, hide gaps, and create a more even appearance while improving tooth color.
Veneers
Our office provides multiple types of dental veneers to serve your needs. We use Lumineers, highly advanced porcelain veneers that cover imperfections while delivering a gorgeous appearance. They are strong enough to resist stains and chips. We also offer composite resin veneers for a more affordable option.
Snap-On Smile
We are proud to offer Snap-On Smile in our practice. These appliances are similar to partial dentures in what they can correct, but are more comfortable and require less maintenance. They cover an entire arch in one appliance, correcting the appearance of discolored, missing, damaged, and uneven teeth.
Snap-On Smile can be an excellent alternative to a smile makeover for patients with otherwise healthy teeth and gums. Patients can eat with the appliance in and remove it for thorough daily cleaning.
Learn to Love Your Smile
You don't have to undergo treatment with braces to enjoy a perfectly aligned smile. These alternatives to traditional braces can restore your confidence and make you want to share your smile with everyone you meet. Call our office today to schedule a consultation to determine which choice would work best for your needs.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
Are Lumineers veneers permanent?
Lumineers are semi-permanent because they do not require as much enamel removal as ordinary porcelain veneers. These appliances need periodic replacement, but may last up to 20 years with excellent hygiene and proper maintenance.
At what point would I need standard braces instead of a cosmetic solution for my uneven teeth?
Most patients with crooked or gapped teeth can use clear aligners, but some patients benefit more from traditional orthodontic appliances. If you have severe bite issues or malocclusion, standard braces may be your optimal choice. Our dentists will recommend the most beneficial option.
