Imagine having a more attractive smile...how would that make you feel? It may not be as difficult as your cosmetic dentist has told you in the past. Old rules are being tossed aside and porcelain veneer makeovers are being replaced with more affordable and conservative alternatives.
Recent interview with a High Speed Braces® practitioner:
Q: Why are some dentists thinking the time is right to offer an alternative to porcelain veneers?
A: There are a number of ways to improve the appearance of a
person's smile. Some methods are very expensive and actually quite
harmful to the teeth.
Veneers are a quick fix and most patients are not aware that
the long term costs can be very high. There are also many reasons why
orthodontics should be done instead of veneer, but many veneer dentists
try to use veneers as an alternative to orthodontics. I used to do this
too, but really didn't enjoy removing healthy enamel.
The compromise between years in braces and expensive veneers
has arrived. While many dentists still believe in the myth that fast
braces cause harm, the latest studies show that the risks associated with braces actually increase with longer treatment times. Simply knowing this fact will help you understand something that the competition may not want you to know.
Rapid orthodontics provides an incredible service. When I
needed to straighten my teeth (after not wearing my retainers) it only took about 4 weeks of treatment! Compare this to
the veneer makeover at a cosmetic dentist's office and I just saved
myself $20-30,000.
