I’m hoping you can help me make a decision. I want to whiten my teeth and I have two crooked front teeth. I was thinking I could fix both getting porcelain veneers. I spoke to my dentist about it and he said that would be fine, but he’d like me to straighten the front teeth first. I was hoping not to have to do orthodontics because they’re so unattractive and take forever. Is it really necessary?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Kathryn,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Invisalign
You can now straighten your teeth invisibly<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

First, please understand that I haven’t seen your teeth and can only go by your description. Unless there is something your dentist hasn’t explained to you, I’m puzzled why you would need both as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, a patient will either do porcelain veneers or orthodontics, not both. There could be an exception if you have either a serious bite problem or overly crowded teeth. In those unusual cases, it would be helpful to have orthodontics first. Other than that, you can just have porcelain veneers placed and it will make your front teeth appear to be straight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are in that position, then I have some helpful news for you. You can completely straighten your teeth without anyone knowing. Invisalign uses clear aligners<\/a>. You can see an image of one of the aligners above. When you are wearing them, they are completely invisible, even at a conversational distance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part is they have the benefit of being able to whiten your teeth simultaneously. The aligners used to straighten your teeth can also double as teeth whitening<\/a> trays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign or Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have the choice and all you want to do is whiten and straighten your teeth, you would save a lot of money using Invisalign. However, if there are other things about your smile you want to change, such as the shape or length, then porcelain veneers<\/a> are the way to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the go-to for a complete smile makeover. One word of caution. They require technical expertise as well as an artistic eye. Not every dentist can do a smile makeover with porcelain veneers. There are countless cosmetic dentistry horror stories to back this up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you decide to go that route, you will want a dentist who has been accredited with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. AACD accredited dentists are the top cosmetic dentists in the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you go the Invisalign\/teeth whitening route, just about any family dentist can do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
