A “Smile makeover” is one of the most exciting and wonderful aspects of dentistry today. The goal of esthetic dentistry is to help anyone have a healthier, well-functioning, brighter smile, with more even looking, straight teeth. Patients feel healthier, more youthful, vibrant, attractive and confident enough to smile.
The beautiful smile can be created either by a cosmetic procedure or by orthodontic treatment.
One point that is very important for patients to understand prior to having cosmetic procedures for quickly creating a beautiful smile is that they are irreversible procedures.
It means that a quick smile makeover often involves removing healthy tooth structure from natural teeth to “straighten the teeth”. This is fine as long as the patient understands what is being done and if the patient wishes to undergo a quick smile makeover.
There is also the option to straighten the teeth orthodontically for a similar result. Yes, it takes a longer time duration, but the natural tooth structure is preserved in this manner. Through a slower, comprehensive makeover process, only teeth that have been damaged (cracked, chipped, worn away, infected or irreversibly stained) need to be restored with crowns, veneers or bonding. Orthodontics is a way to create a beautiful smile if you aren’t in a hurry.
If time is not the concern & patient wants the best possible result by keeping their original teeth, in that case braces act as the best cosmetic dental treatment over other procedures. Braces treatment is the most physiologic treatment to move the tooth in the desired position.
Now orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age. Thanks to today's smaller, less visible, more comfortable brackets & Faster treatment techniques, adults are finding braces more appealing improving the health of their mouth and the attractiveness of their smiles.
