I had braces when I was younger and my teeth are crooked again. I don't want to wear braces again. - What do I do?
At Great Coast Dental, we provide Invisalign or porcelain veneers for patients who have this problem.
With Invisalign, teeth are gradually straightened by wearing a new set of transparent, removable aligners every week.
However, porcelain veneers are tiny, highly attractive porcelain shells that are bonded to the teeth to provide the appearance of greater straightness.
While porcelain veneers can produce results in as little as two to three weeks, Invisalign can take up to a year to complete the process.
