Can my teeth be leveled?

[George1]

Hello

When I smile my top teeth slant to the left and look odd and I would like to have this problem fixed. I looked at veneers and Invisalign and it seems that veneers would fix this problem a lot more quickly than Invisalign. I don't wish to wait 2 years if Invisalign is going to take that long and prefer to go for a quicker treatment like porcelain veneers. However can my teeth be leveled with veneers or not? Would the treatment with veneers involve any tooth drilling and is it likely to hurt?

In some cases dental veneers can level slanted teeth however we need to see you before we can say for sure. Invisalign intrudes and extrudes teeth to correct slanting and this takes time to happen. Veneer treatment would be quicker than Invisalign.

Some veneer treatment involves no tooth drilling whilst other veneer treatment involves tooth drilling depending on the position of the teeth and gaps between them and so on. If tooth drilling becomes necessary, the whole area will be numbed, so it will be pain free.
