I feel at 42 years old I am too old for braces, but my teeth are crooked and I’m tired of it. I wondered if a dental flipper could make my teeth look straight?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

I think you may be confusing a dental flipper with Snap on Smile. A dental flipper is a temporary means of replacing a missing tooth. It fills in the open gap with a fake tooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snap-on Smile, on the other hand, is a fake smile that will snap over your existing one. However, they are made of acrylic, so will not look as natural looking as porcelain. Plus, because they snap over your teeth they can make your smile look a bit bulky. It’s mostly used for something like a job interview or photoshoot when you need straight teeth fast, but only temporary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You do have an option for straightening your teeth that does not include braces. These days you can get your teeth straightened using clear aligners. The top brand that provides that is Invisalign<\/a>. These truly are invisible even at a conversational distance, allowing you to straighten your teeth without anyone even knowing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking for an instant straight smile. You can look into porcelain veneers. These are used for complete smile makeovers and can give you a brand new smile in just two appointments. They won’t straighten your teeth per se but can make them look straight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only “catch” is that while any dentist who chooses to can provide you with Invisalign, you will need a dentist with expertise in cosmetic dentistry to provide a beautiful smile for you with porcelain veneers<\/a>. This does take post-doctoral training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
