What Is Instant Orthodontics?

Porcelain veneers are thin, tooth-shaped fabrications that fit over the front surface of the teeth to mask flaws and correct a variety of cosmetic issues. When used as instant orthodontics, porcelain veneers correct issues traditionally treated with metal braces, like crooked teeth or dental gaps. Instant orthodontics treatment offers many benefits over traditional orthodontics, such as:

• Treatment can be completed in as little as two days: Instant orthodontics treatment can be completed in as little as two dental appointments, which is a fraction of the time needed for traditional orthodontics treatment. With instant orthodontics, you can have the smile you desire without wearing braces for months.
• Comfortable and pain-free: Instant orthodontics is comfortable and the veneers feel like your own teeth. Treatment is painless and fast, as opposed to traditional orthodontics, which can require over a year of wearing uncomfortable metal braces.
• Easy aftercare: Porcelain veneers are as easy to clean as your natural teeth, unlike metal braces, which require special care and monthly dental visits.
• Overall improved aesthetics: Instant orthodontics with porcelain veneers can not only correct the appearance of crooked teeth, they can correct dental flaws like irregularly shaped teeth, undersized teeth, or even dental discoloration.

Am I a Candidate for Instant Orthodontics?

Candidates for instant orthodontics must have teeth and gums healthy enough for porcelain veneers treatment. Candidates also include those who wish to avoid wearing traditional metal braces. Many patients make suitable candidates for instant orthodontics; typical patients experience one or more of the following dental issues:

• Mildly crooked teeth: Those with mildly crooked teeth can enjoy an improved smile with instant orthodontics. Patients with severely crooked teeth may require alternative orthodontic treatment.
• Gaps between teeth: Large gaps between teeth can be closed with instant orthodontics.
• Undersized or oversized teeth: Undersized or oversized teeth can make the smile look disproportioned. Instant orthodontics can be used to correct tooth size, creating a uniform look.
• Uneven looking teeth: Uneven teeth can make the smile look less than desirable. Uneven teeth can be corrected with instant orthodontics to improve the overall appearance of the smile.
