How to Achieve Straighter Teeth With a Smile Makeover

Thinking about getting a smile makeover? There are many cosmetic options for those who want to improve the way they look when they smile. This means those who want to straighten their teeth can choose from a few different teeth straightening options, as some people’s teeth are minimally crooked while others have very crooked teeth.

Reasons why straight teeth are important

Want to understand why people are getting a smile makeover to straighten their teeth? The main reason is that they want to improve the way they look when they smile, as making a good impression is important. Additional reasons include correcting one’s bite, improved speech, decreasing wear and tear and having healthier teeth because they are easier to clean.

According to the American Dental Association, straightening one's teeth can be accomplished in different ways and the kind of orthodontic treatment needed will depend on the patient's preference and the options provided by a dentist.

Smile makeover options for straight teeth

The list below includes three popular teeth straightening options that people are choosing to be part of their smile makeover.

Dental bonding

Dental bonding allows those with minimally crooked teeth the ability to straighten their teeth quickly. This straightening procedure requires a dental professional to use a special dental bonding material, also known as a tooth-colored resin. They will apply this resin to the patient's teeth with a goal of shaping the teeth so that they look straighter. This straightening option can also be used to change how teeth look, making it so patients can essentially design their smiles. 

Dental veneers

Dental veneers are another smile makeover option that works for those who have minimally crooked teeth. Veneers are extremely thin pieces of porcelain that a dental professional will custom-make for every patient. This means those who choose this option cannot only get the straight teeth they want, but they can also use veneers to change the shape or size of their teeth and/or cover up any hard to remove intrinsic stains.

Braces

There are a few different types of braces patients can choose from to straighten their teeth, making it a good idea for them to choose one that fits in with their lifestyle. For example, one of the newer types of braces offered is clear aligners and many people are choosing this option because they can be removed for a couple of hours every single day. Other options for braces include metal braces, ceramic braces and lingual braces, which all work the same yet offer different appearances.
