I have worn down teeth from grinding when I was younger, and for the last 10 years I have slept with a mouth guard. But unfortunately I also have a bite that makes Bruxism, in danish it's called a deep/low bite. My dentist want me to get braces and then dental bonding on the lower/upper 6 teeth. My problem is, I don't like the fact that they stain, and braces are very expensive. So will porcelain/zirconium veneers be an option for both power and lower teeth, so they will be aligned? Thanks :)
Answer: Kathy Frazar I know a quick fix is so desirable but from my experience may not produce the best and longest lasting result...Braces or invisalign will take longer than you may like and add to the cost but straightening your bite with resultant esthetic goals met may satisfy your health and appearance..If smile not as beautiful as you would like you can do cosmetic dentistry afterwards.

Answer: Worn teeth Everybody would love to have a quick fix and the problem to be solved but this does not always result in a desirable outcome. Braces would be the best option to align your teeth first and then to have some bonding work down to help with the grinding. If veneers are put on your teeth currently they may look too big and feel odd and are also more likely to break.
