Would I be a good candidate for porcelain veneers or should I opt for Invisalign? (Photo)

Question

Patricia Moezinia, DDS · Answer

The answer will depend on several factors. Time, budget and final goals. To close the space either of the two treatments are viable, now if you only do invisalign, that will not change the size of your teeth, and the upper central incisors are smaller than they should be, so it would be advisable to do a combination of both, first invisalign to align and close the diastema, and then veneers to correct the size of central incisors. You could also choose to do veneers only, but since the diastema space is too big, doing veneers only on central incisors would result in too wide front teeth. Therefore, it would be necessary to include lateral incisors in the planning of veneers, in order to achieve a harmonic distribution of size. Dr Patricia Moezinia will be in charge of guiding you through this process and answering your questions

Pictures are not ideal but you obviously have a very narrow maxilla from just the two pictures.

If you have severe pain, headaches, migraines, snoring, apnea or TMJ disorders  I would address those issues first!

I would suggest utilizing a DNA Appliance to correct orthopedic issues before Invisalign.

This can create a full wide healthy smile.

My practice is dedicated to ideal function and physiology primarily and cosmetic aspects as a finishing technique.

You may be a candidate for both. If you like the shape of your teeth but just want to improve on the positioning of the teeth, then Invisalign would be a great option. An Invisalign dentist with a iTero scanner would be able to do an outcome simulation for you to give you an idea of the projected final result.
