Invisalign® orthodontics vs. porcelain veneers: points to consider when choosing
Invisalign® is a great choice for people who want to straighten their teeth without traditional braces. They are clear, comfortable, and removable, so you can eat and drink whatever you want while wearing them. They also won’t interfere with your daily activities like playing sports or instruments.
Porcelain veneers are another option for people looking to improve their smiles. Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They can be used to correct a wide variety of dental problems, including gaps, chips, and teeth that are stained or discolored.
Both Invisalign® and porcelain veneers can give you the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted. But there are some vital differences to consider before making a decision as to which one is most appropriate for your unique situation.
Invisalign® and porcelain veneers may be similar in costs in some instances. Invisalign® requires less time and effort to maintain and provides lifelong improvements. It is also best for correcting severe dental problems like extreme crowding or bite issues.
Porcelain veneers can correct more common dental problems. They also last longer and require little maintenance. However, they do need to be replaced over time and do not permanently fix the cosmetic concern–just disguise it.
