You are an Invisalign candidate, but you may want to consider 4 porcelain veneers across the front instead. Invisaligill take you about 12 months to correct this issue. You will then need to wear an Invisalign retainer for the rest of your life (mostly at night). Converesly, porcelain veneers take 1-2 appointments and will likely cost a little less than Invisalign in your case. They would last 20-30 years, if done properly; they are highly stain resistant and do not require a life-long retainer. Good luck and I hope this helps.

So, your dentist tells you to switch trays once every week, instead of once every two weeks and you are concerned. Well, let me tell you now that you have nothing to worry about and here's why. When your dentist chooses your treatment plan with Invisalign, they can choose to move...
Doing things out of sequence can have undesirable results. If you are in pain, it may mean that the teeth are moving too quickly. One of the touted advantages of Invisalign is that they are fairly painless and are designed to minimize discomfort. Also, that given cost is based on the number of...
