Besides braces, you may choose an aesthetic dentistry solution.
Aesthetic dentistry in its simplest term is like renovating your teeth by the use of normal dental treatment to change the look of the smile. The aesthetic dentist would generally use dental veneers as the main treatment modality. The actual position does not change, so there are the added benefits of speed, comfort and convenience. Unlike braces, because there is no moving of teeth, the result is stable without wearing retainers.
The procedure does, however, require a high degree of planning and experience and is probably not going to be available in every dental clinic.
Do please note that for a procedure to be an aesthetic solution:
- You have to look good
- It has to look natural
- It has to be functional (you must be able to bite with them)
- It has to be biological (not compromise the health of your mouth)
- It has to be durable and long-lasting
My advice is to find the right dentist, look at past work that he/she has done and discuss in detail what changes you would like to make in your smile.
