Veneers have become exceedingly popular over the last few decades. As a result, you may know a lot about them, from their long lifespan to their ability to address several dental imperfections at once. But why are they called “instant orthodontics?” Keep reading to learn the answer!
So, Why Are Veneers Called “Instant Orthodontics?”
Traditional braces and state-of-the-art alternatives, like Invisalign, are two of the most popular teeth-straightening solutions. While they are both safe, reliable, and effective, there is one catch: a 12+ month treatment timeline. Since the entire veneers process can be completed in just two or three visits, the smile-transforming journey is significantly shorter. Hence the nickname “instant orthodontics.”
What Is The Veneers Process Like?
As previously mentioned, the veneers process is significantly shorter than traditional braces – it can be completed in just a few appointments! That starts with the consultation and is followed by the preparation process, which is when your cosmetic dentist will remove a small portion of your enamel, take impressions of your teeth, and provide you with temporary veneers. Once the lab artisans are finished crafting your permanent ones, you’ll return to your dentist’s office to have them placed, and the entire process will be complete.
4 Noteworthy Benefits of Veneers
While the quicker treatment timeline is a significant benefit on its own, there are a few other reasons veneers continue to be one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments, including:
- Versatility – Veneers can address one misaligned tooth or several teeth in an arch.
- Customization – In addition to correcting minor misalignment, veneers can fix the shape and shade of your teeth.
- Longevity – With proper care, veneers can last for well over a decade.
- Easy maintenance – Veneers aren’t just stain-resistant, they are also easy to care for. Just continue brushing, flossing, and visiting your dentist every six months.
How to Find Out If Veneers Are Right for You
Naturally, veneers aren’t right for everyone. That’s why it’s so important to schedule an appointment with your cosmetic dentist! During your consultation, they will sit down with you to learn more about your dental concerns and smile goals before conducting an exam. If your misalignment is minor, like small spaces between your teeth, then there’s a good chance that you’re a candidate for veneers. However, more moderate to severe cases of malocclusion require traditional orthodontic treatment to correct.
