I have two crooked teeth and a couple of small gaps. I went to my dentist to discuss braces. I heard there are clear braces these days. My dentist is suggesting porcelain veneers because my teeth are yellow and these can straighten my teeth and make them whiter. I am a bit concerned on how expensive porcelain veneers are. Are there better options?<\/p>\n

Dear Enid,<\/p>\n

\"Invisalign<\/p>\n

Let’s start with the porcelain veneers<\/a>. They can make your teeth look straight, but they will not actually straighten your teeth. These are more useful if you are looking for a complete smile makeover, but not a great use of your money if you are just wanting to straighten and whiten your teeth.<\/p>\n

In all honesty, there is a much less expensive option for you. If you get Invisalign<\/a>, which use clear aligners. These can both straighten and whiten your teeth simultaneously. The aligners can double as teeth whitening trays so all you will need is to get some professional strength gel from your dentist.<\/p>\n

This will straighten and whiten your teeth at a fraction of the cost of porcelain veneers.<\/p>\n

Of course, if there are other things that you would like to change about your teeth, such as their shape or size, then porcelain veneers will be a great option. Just make certain that you go to an expert cosmetic dentist to have the work done. Otherwise, you could end up with a smile that is less attractive than your natural smile.<\/p>\n
