• Posted to Lumineers to Correct Crooked Upper Teeth - Great Experience on 13 Jun 2011

  same here since 2007 !
  condition: crooked teeth/crowded
  cost of the procedure $6500 for 8 Lumineers on front upper teeth
  down side: major trimming and the procedure is not reversible when you have crowded/overlapping teeth
  after all : I am soooo glad i did it! I am very happy with the results and going back and reversing this procedure is not part of my future plans :)
  
  For my condition, major trimming had to happen to my teeth before they can have the Lumineers looking natural, the result is pretty good I have to admit, it's been since 2007 and i am still happy and careful to not put them under unusual stress.
  Advice: Pick the "natural white" tone color (minus 1 tone) don't go for the glossy white tone... u'll regret it and it will look too fake)
  As for "it is safe and reversible procedure" my answer is hahaha what a false advertising that my dentist had kept on and on until the day of the procedure where he had to drill and trim every single tooth that had a Lumineer on....but again I hated my teeth for years... and today I am very satisfied with the compromise that it is not reversible and that I'll have to have them for the rest of my life ... as long as i keep up a perfect oral hygiene I see no problem keeping them forever :)

  out of experience, your teeth will have to be trimmed from the front and the sides! I knew that this was not going to be magical and major trimming had to happen to my teeth before they can have these Lumineers looking natural, the result is pretty good I have to admit, it's been since 2007 and i am still happy and careful to not put them under unusual stress.(by the way pick a natural white tone color (minus 1 tone) don't go for the glossy white tone... u'll regret it and it will look too fake) As for "it is safe and reversible procedure" my answer is hahaha what a false advertising that my dentist had kept on and on until the day of the procedure where he had to drill and trim every single tooth that had a Lumineer on....but again I hated my teeth and today I am very satisfied with the compromise that it is not reversible and that I'll have to have them for the rest of my life as long as i keep up a perfect oral hygiene
