Q: What are the pros and cons of using veneers for crowding?

Pros: The results are very fast (typically two visits), and they can perfect the color and shape of teeth simultaneously. Cons: They do not fix the underlying alignment issue, require some removal of healthy tooth enamel, and are not suitable for severe crowding.

Question 1

Can veneers fix overlapping teeth?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for cases of minor overlapping or crowding, porcelain veneers can be an excellent cosmetic solution. They don't actually move the teeth, but by covering the front surface, they can create the illusion of a perfectly straight smile. This is often called 'instant orthodontics'.

Question 2

When are veneers a good option instead of braces?

Accepted Answer

Veneers are a good option when the overlap is minor, the bite is healthy, and the primary goal is cosmetic improvement. They are also ideal if you want to change the color and shape of your teeth at the same time. For significant alignment issues, traditional orthodontics is the proper treatment.
