Can Veneers Correct Problems with Crooked Teeth?

Porcelain veneers have been used for years to cover up tooth flaws like chips, cracks, and stains on your teeth. But were you aware they can also correct problems with uneven or crooked teeth? Placing veneers on crooked teeth can give your smile a straighter, more uniform appearance without enduring months of orthodontic treatment. A dental assessment by Claire Cho, DDS in Aliso Viejo, California, can determine if veneers are a viable option to fix your crooked smile. 

Transform Your Smile with Veneers 

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells that are cemented to flawed teeth to improve their aesthetic appearance. These shells are custom-designed to match your tooth color, shape, and size for a natural-looking fit. Dr. Cho will shave off a thin layer of enamel from your teeth to accommodate the veneers. Once they’re cemented in place, they become a permanent part of your smile. Your customized veneers will blend in beautifully with your smile to instantly enhance its appearance. 

Porcelain veneers can:  

• Make crooked teeth appear straight and even 
• Close gaps in your teeth to make your smile more pleasing 
• Conceal chips, cracks, and stains to give your teeth a whiter, unblemished appearance
• Alter the size or shape of irregular teeth to make your smile more uniform and balanced

Orthodontics vs. Veneers

When it comes to crooked teeth, veneers can only alter the appearance of your teeth so that they look straighter and more even. They don’t actually change the position of your teeth, like orthodontics. You will need orthodontic treatment if you want to actually straighten your teeth. Veneers give you the appearance of straighter teeth through a quicker, easier, more affordable cosmetic treatment.  

In addition to beautifying your smile, porcelain veneers have other qualities that make them a worthy investment. They’re extremely durable for biting and chewing, stain-resistant, and can last up to 15 years with proper care.
