Similar to braces, Invisalign gradually aligns teeth over time. It consists of a clear and discreet custom-made retainer that can be easily removed, allowing you to maintain your regular oral hygiene routine. Invisalign serves as a convenient alternative to traditional braces, as it eliminates the need for bulky metal brackets bonded to your teeth. With Invisalign, you have the freedom to enjoy any type of food, simply removing the aligners for cleaning purposes. Each aligner is worn for approximately two weeks, and the process continues until your desired level of alignment is achieved.
PORCELAIN VENEERS
Porcelain veneers are an effective solution for addressing various oral issues and can be completed in just two visits to your cosmetic dentist. They function as a protective covering for your teeth, concealing any dental imperfections with an attractive porcelain shell. If your aesthetic dental needs go beyond simple alignment correction, you are an excellent candidate for porcelain veneers. With proper care, veneers can provide long-lasting results for over a decade. However, it’s important to note that veneers are a permanent procedure that requires regular maintenance. In addition to correcting misalignment, veneers can effectively address the following concerns:
- unpleasant gaps between teeth
- tooth color (you and your dentist will select an appropriate color for you)
- crowded teeth
- broken, chipped, or fractured teeth
If you’re unsure of which option is best for you (Invisalign or Porcelain Veneers), schedule a consultation with the top cosmetic dentists in Los Angeles.
