These are popular with adults who do not like the look of braces, associating them with teenagers. Invisalign is effective for minor and moderate alignment issues.
Invisalign consists of a series of clear plastic mouth-guards that gently and persistently push the teeth into alignment. These mouth-guards can be removed for eating and drinking.
Invisalign is only slightly noticeable, and causes minimal discomfort. It may initially make speaking difficult.
Veneers Dundas Dental
Some tooth issues can be neatly fixed with veneers. These are thin coverings that are permanently bonded to the front of the teeth. They look like natural tooth, and can effectively change the shape of the tooth, even to the point where they make the tooth wider to fill in gaps between teeth.
Veneers can be attached in a single appointment, so they achieve results quite quickly.
Unfortunately veneers are not appropriate for jaw alignment problems.
