/We all know that the easiest way to a beautiful smile is to improve your oral hygiene. This won’t take much doing –you will just have to brush your teeth more often and see your dentist regularly. If that still doesn’t seem to help improve your teeth to your liking, you can always try a dental treatment. Your dentist will be able to carry out these procedures. Interested to know more? Read on for all the information you need!
Teeth Whitening
You can always buy teeth whitening kits over the counter at your local drug store. However, for best results you need to see your dentist. This may be a lot more expensive, but the results will be far better and will last for much longer. One thing to bear in mind is that this may not make your teeth super white, but it will make them a few shades lighter and get rid of any stains. The procedure will be done in stages, and you will need to visit your dentist a few times over a couple of months. He will make a mold of your teeth and give you whitening teeth to apply at home. Over time, the gel will brighten up your teeth and give you a beautiful smile!
Braces
If your teeth is not as perfect as you would want it, your dentist can attach braces to them to help straighten them out. There are two types of braces: fixed and removable. If you have fixed ones, they will be attached to your teeth at all times. Removable ones can be taken off for cleaning. Normally, patients will need to wear their braces for a long period. On average, this can be between 18 and 24 months. After you have them removed, you may still be required to wear mouthpieces overnight. This is to make sure your teeth don’t move straight back into their original positions. Some people prefer to have invisible braces made out of see-through plastic. There are some different options available, including Invisalign Braces.
Dental Veneers
Veneers are artificial covers placed over your teeth. They are permanently attached and disguise discoloration and stains on your teeth. They can also be used to cover up a chipped tooth. However, more often than not, they are only used as a cosmetic treatment. Even though they are permanently attached to your teeth, it is still possible to chip them, just like normal teeth. To affix them, your dentist will need to drill into your front teeth slightly. He will then take an impression so that he can make veneers that will fit your teeth. This may sound like a scary procedure, but you have nothing to worry about! You will be given an anesthetic so that you won’t feel a thing.
If anyone of these treatments sounds like it could help you towards your perfect smile, speak to your dentist about it. They will be able to talk to you about the procedure and discuss any other options you may have.
