Instant Orthodontics
If you would like to straighten crooked teeth but do not
want to commit the time necessary for orthodontic treatment, you may want to
consider instant orthodontics. This procedure can help you improve the
appearance of crooked teeth in just a few short office visits, delivering a
straight, beautiful smile.
The procedure involves having porcelain
veneers bonded to the front surface of your teeth to generate the appearance
of straight teeth. Your cosmetic dentist can complete this treatment in two
steps. At your first visit, your dentist will prepare your teeth and take an
impression of them. This impression is sent to the lab for use in construction
of your porcelain veneers.
Once your restoration has been fabricated in the dental lab,
you will return to your cosmetic dentist’s office to have them securely bonded
to your teeth. At this point, your teeth will look straight and beautiful.
It is important to understand that instant orthodontics is
not the same as true orthodontic treatment. Instant orthodontics provides
strictly aesthetic benefits. The porcelain veneers will make your teeth look
straight, but they will still be crooked underneath. If you would like to enjoy
the functional benefits of straight teeth as well, then you will need to
undergo traditional orthodontic treatment.
