Why are porcelain veneers referred to as instant orthodontics?
Orthodontics is usually perceived as a prolonged procedure to improve the condition of uneven, overcrowded, irregularly spaced, or misaligned teeth. Dental braces are the standard dental solution available to correct the position of teeth gradually. This is an extended treatment that may last for anywhere between 18 months to three years, or even more in certain cases, depending on the condition of the teeth. Many patients, particularly teenagers and adults, hesitate to opt for orthodontic treatment because of the length of treatment and the compromised aesthetics during the treatment due to metal braces.
In all such cases where the patient is reluctant to opt for braces treatment, or where the braces are not likely to make a significant improvement, particularly in case of adults with fully developed jaw bone and tissue, porcelain veneers may be considered a viable alternative. If the condition of the teeth is not particularly severe, porcelain veneers can serve the same purpose in improving the patient’s oral aesthetics. Our cosmetic dentists at LaserDentalAssociates.com can easily enhance the position, size, shape and appearance of the teeth without compromising the strength or health of the tooth structure in any way.
This is popularly referred to as “Instant Orthodontics” because of the swiftness, efficiency and procedural economy of the treatment. Advanced technologies such as CEREC are now available in our office to reduce the number of dental visits even further for veneer treatment. Therefore, once the treatment planning is done, our dentist can prepare the permanent veneers the same day in our office, and bondy them to the patient’s teeth. This is virtually an “instant” treatment with very long lasting results. However, the success of the treatment depends upon the skills and experience of the performing dentist and quality of porcelain veneers used. There are superior quality porcelain veneers available in the market now that are highly durable and ultra thin to allow the dentist to provide you with a beautiful smile!
