Most patients are familiar with the practice of orthodontics, a great option for patients who have other oral health problems as a result of misaligned teeth. However, for those patients whose only side effects of crooked or misaligned teeth are aesthetic issues, there is a better alternative. Wilmette cosmetic dentist Craig Kohler offers instant orthodontics with porcelain veneer treatment in order to give patients the appearance of healthy, straight, beautiful teeth in just a small fraction of the time that is required for traditional orthodontic treatment.
What Makes a Good Candidate for Instant Orthodontics?
Instant orthodontics is a cosmetic treatment. That means that instant orthodontics is not a good option for patients who have severe alignment problems or those who are experiencing additional oral health problems as a result of poor tooth placement. However, for patients who have any of the following aesthetic concerns, instant orthodontics may be the best solution:
- Slightly crooked teeth
- A mildly misaligned bite
- Gaps between the teeth
- Teeth that sit too closely together and appear overcrowded
- A tooth (or teeth) that has twisted or turned
How Do Instant Orthodontics Work?
Instant orthodontics give patients a complete smile makeover in almost no time, thus the term “instant.” The entire instant orthodontics treatment can be complete in as little as two to three dental appointments. It is possible by the application of porcelain veneers. Dr. Kohler will custom craft porcelain veneers that are made of the finest ceramic material. The veneers are like natural teeth while improving the appearance of the smile by concealing cosmetic flaws. Not only do porcelain veneers address the aesthetic problems listed above, but they can also improve the shape, size, and color of a patient’s teeth as well as camouflage chips, cracks, or stains.
Porcelain Veneers Application
Dr. Kohler makes each instant orthodontics treatment unique by customizing porcelain veneers that best suit each patient’s needs and cosmetic desires. He ensures that the veneers sit naturally against the teeth and blend in seamlessly with the patient’s natural teeth.
