Should I Get Invisalign® or Veneers?

Dec 22, 2022

Are you unsure which dental intervention you need to help restore your smile? Veneers and Invisalign® both have their advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to take the time to consider which option is best for your needs and budget. Fortunately, there are a few things that may help you decide between the two.

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front of your teeth. They are usually made from porcelain or composite resin materials and they can be used to correct a number of cosmetic flaws, from discoloration and chips to misalignment.

What Is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is an innovative teeth-straightening system that uses clear, removable aligners instead of metal braces. It is virtually invisible and can deliver results in as little as six months. Invisalign® is a great option for those seeking subtle and non-invasive orthodontic treatment.

Which Dental Solution Is Better Suited for Me?

The best way to determine which treatment is better suited for you is by consulting with a dental professional. Your dentist can assess your individual needs and advise you on the most appropriate solution. Ultimately, it will depend on what aspects of your smile you are hoping to improve and your budget. If you're comparing both veneers and Invisalign® though, it is generally advised that you go with Invisalign® first if you have misaligned teeth. Veneers should be used only when necessary, as they are more invasive than other cosmetic treatments and are irreversible. Since veneers also focus on the appearance of your teeth, Invisalign® may be a better option if you are looking for more functionality.
