I wanted to get Lumineers. I have a tooth which is a little crooked. Not enough for full orthodontic treatment. That’s why I was hoping to do Lumineers because I was told they could just go on top of my teeth. My dentist said I could do them, but would need Invisalign first for the crooked tooth. Are both really necessary? That’s more money than I was planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\"Invisalign<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Please bear in mind that I haven’t seen your case, but in general you would either do Invisalign or Lumineers, not both. There would be some exceptions in severe orthodontic cases. Based on what you’d mentioned, I don’t think that is your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s go over what you can do with each treatment and you will have an idea of which will most help you meet your smile goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These use clear aligners to straighten your teeth. No one will know you are wearing them, even at a conversational distance. That is why some people call them invisible braces<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are more comfortable than traditional metal wire and bracket braces and usually work in half the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aligners have the additional benefit of being able to double as teeth whitening<\/a> trays. This allows you to straighten and whiten your teeth simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If all you feel your teeth need are a straighter look and whiter color, this method will save you thousands of dollars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lumineers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first thing you should know is that Lumineers<\/a> are simply one brand of porcelain veneers. Most expert cosmetic dentists prefer other brands. This is mostly because this brand is owned by the DenMat company, which requires dentists to use their labs. This lab is not known for skilled results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porcelain veneers<\/a>, when done by a skilled cosmetic dentist can completely remake your smile. They can change the shape of your teeth, the size of your teeth, and the color of your teeth all at the same time. It is the go-to for celebrities trying to get that perfect Hollywood smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it won’t straighten your teeth, it can make your teeth look straight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even without the need to make your crooked tooth look straight, doing a smile makeover is an advanced procedure. Your particular case requires a little more expertise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go that route. I’d go to aacd.com<\/a> and search for an accredited cosmetic dentist in your area. Dentists who’ve reached accreditation are the top cosmetic dentists in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
