An Improved Smile With Straight Teeth

An Improved Smile With Straight Teeth

By Harry Izzo


Some people consistently look great in photos, while others fret whenever they are in front of the camera. It could be that they do not know how to smile whenever a photograph is going to be taken or they are not that confident in their smile. Any way you look at it, if you are bothered by misaligned teeth you can have them straightened quite easily.

Many teenagers are self-conscious about their teeth. At that age they want to look good in front of their friends and on camera. They simply want to fit in. Adults also have a desire to fix their teeth; they realize that a wrong set of teeth can affect your overall appearance. Going to the dentist can help.

Dental braces are commonly used to correct a person's bite. Every patient has his own unique situation, so what is right for one patient may not be suitable for another. You and your dentist can decide on the treatment that is right for you.

To straighten the teeth metal braces is what's usually prescribed. They are a good solution for most teenagers. Teenagers have time on their side and metal braces are a good solution, because of their youth. Adults don't have that kind of time, so they want a faster solution. Dental braces need to be worn anywhere between one and two years. After they are removed, dental retainers are used until your teeth are positioned correctly.

The effectiveness of dental braces makes them worth the wait. Think of your friends from high school who had braces and look how incredible they look now.

If the teeth you want to straighten are chipped then dental veneers work best for you. Veneers are thin strips of ceramic, most usually porcelain, that are attached to the enamel of your teeth. Once bonded you can treat them like your own natural teeth. These are not permanent, however they can last you a good 10 years before you need to replace them.

Invisible braces are the latest advancement when it comes to straightening one's teeth. Just like retainers, they are removable. They are very effective at straightening your teeth. Be sure to consult with your dentist to see if they are an option available to you.
