Perfectly straight teeth

[Goldie]

Hi

My teeth have never been straight and I would like to have cosmetic dentistry so that I could have perfectly straight teeth.

I would like to know if you would recommend Invisalign or Veneers for getting the best looking perfectly straight teeth possible? I know that Veneers involve my teeth being shaved down but from my point of view, I would not mind that.

Hello Goldie

Thanks for your question.

In answer to your question I would say you will most probably need Invisalign and Veneers to get the best looking perfectly straight teeth.

Invisalign will straighten and align your teeth as well as possible and then shape touch-ups and improvements can be made with veneers to give you that best looking smile. Options for veneers include composite and porcelain veneers. Composite veneers are more affordable and can be repaired when needed.

The advantage of having Invisalign before the veneers is in the amount of shaving your teeth will need. This is likely to be none or very minimal.

Whiter teeth will also give you the best looking smile you can achieve so with the Invisalign aligners you can also whiten your teeth.
