When securely placed over the front-facing surfaces of your teeth, they can flawlessly conceal imperfections, like gaps between your teeth. Plus, this smile-enhancing solution comes with a few additional perks. To begin, the entire veneers process can be completed in just a few weeks, which is significantly shorter than orthodontic treatment. Additionally, veneers can address other dental flaws \u2013 from chips and discoloration to misshapen teeth \u2013 at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Invisalign Addresses Misalignment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that more than 12 million patients have used to straighten their teeth, and it\u2019s not hard to see why! Each of the custom-made, clear aligners is designed to gently move your teeth into their properly aligned positions \u2013 no metal or wires needed. While the shade, shape, and size of your teeth will remain unchanged, Invisalign can help with much more than just minor misalignment. With the use of attachments and orthodontic accessories (like rubber bands), the clear aligners can address moderate cases of malocclusion as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So, Which One Is Right for You?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decision on whether Invisalign or veneers is best for you ultimately rests on your unique dental needs and smile goals. If your misalignment is minor and you\u2019d like to address other imperfections at the same time (like stains and chips), then veneers may be the best solution for you. If, on the other hand, your misalignment is more moderate and cannot be corrected with veneers, then Invisalign may be the best way to discreetly bring your smile goals to life. In the end, it\u2019s a decision you will make with your cosmetic dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before obtaining his dental degree at the University of Oklahoma, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mitchellsmiledesign.com\/meet-dr-mitchell.html\">Dr. Bradley Mitchell<\/a> attended Oklahoma State University in Stillwater.
