Crooked teeth: should I get porcelain veneers or orthodontic treatment?

Irregular teeth are the problem that dental aesthetics needs to solve first. When seeing crooked teeth, to make your teeth beautiful, should you choose porcelain teeth or orthodontics?

Irregular Teeth: Porcelain Teeth or Orthodontics?

Porcelain Teeth for Irregular Teeth:

Porcelain teeth is currently the most advanced method of dental aesthetics with a variety of materials. They can be divided into ordinary metal porcelain teeth, heavy metal porcelain teeth, and all-ceramic teeth. While correcting irregular teeth, they can also whiten teeth, with realistic tooth color and good compatibility, suitable for people from different social classes.

Advantages: Short treatment period, quick results, usually completed in about a week. Can simultaneously change tooth color, shape, and alignment, with realistic effects.

Disadvantages: Requires grinding of teeth, high possibility of nerve killing for severely misaligned teeth.

Suggestion: For those with tight time constraints and accompanied by poor tooth shape and color, porcelain therapy can be chosen.

Orthodontic Treatment for Irregular Teeth:

For irregular teeth, perhaps everyone first thinks of orthodontics. Orthodontic technology continues to develop, and now invisible braces let you avoid the embarrassment of "metal mouth". The material is transparent and lightweight, aesthetically comfortable, and easy to clean. It's the best choice for modern orthodontics.

Advantages: After correction, it preserves your original teeth. Patients with more severe conditions can achieve satisfactory or even ideal results.

Disadvantages: Longer treatment time, usually ranging from several months to one or two years. Regular follow-up visits are required. Only effective for tooth alignment, cannot change tooth shape or color.

Suggestion: Patients who do not have strict time constraints and do not need to change tooth shape or color should consider orthodontics first.

Dr. 454 Dental Expert reminds: The above two methods of tooth correction are just for reference. Specifically, which one to choose depends on your own actual situation. However, regardless of the type of tooth correction, timely action should be taken. The earlier the correction, the better the effect will be. Timely correction is really important for your future work and life, to avoid unnecessary trouble!
