When you were younger, the gap between your two front teeth never bothered you. Now that you’re older, it’s all you can see when you look at yourself in photos or your reflection in the mirror. Sound familiar? If so, there’s good news: metal braces are no longer the only solution. In fact, veneers have earned the nickname “instant orthodontics” because they can address misalignment in as little as two visits. But can they fix gaps in your smile? Read on to find out!
So, Can Veneers Fix Gaps in Your Smile?
While veneers cannot move your teeth, they can conceal minor misalignment, including noticeable gaps. So, if there is a considerable space between your two front teeth or there are several smaller spaces throughout your smile, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with your cosmetic dentist! The sooner you do, the sooner they can complete a comprehensive oral exam, learn all about your smile goals, and determine if you’re a candidate for veneers.
3 Perks of Choosing Veneers Over Braces
Here are a few of the many reasons veneers are so popular:
- Quick results – Typically, patients wear traditional braces for 2-3 years. The veneer treatment process, on the other hand, can be completed in just two or three visits.
- No metal – Although effective, traditional metal braces aren’t the most aesthetically pleasing. Fortunately, veneers can conceal minor gaps without drawing unwanted attention to your smile!
- Unmatched versatility – While braces can only improve the alignment of your teeth, veneers can address multiple imperfections, including noticeable stains and gaps.
A Quick Look at the Process of Getting Veneers
Now that you know a few of the many benefits of veneers, you might be wondering what the treatment process looks like. The first step is the consultation, which is when you meet with your cosmetic dentist to discuss your smile goals. If they determine that you’re a good candidate, they will create your custom treatment plan, prep your teeth for veneers, and provide you with a temporary set. Once the lab artisans are done making your final ones, you’ll return to our office so we can secure them in place. Then, your dream smile will be yours!
