Orthodontic Treatment VS Cosmetic Dentistry
With advanced aesthetic solutions at our disposal, most of us have decided to turn to dental professionals to correct the majority or larger imperfections. We are given a variety of options to correct this "distortion" while lying in a dental chair.
A dentist is there to give expert advice on the best procedure in a particular case, but leave it to the patient to make the final decision.
Recently we discussed the initial differences between tooth extraction and crowns, details of procedures, recovery time, and their respective benefits. But what to do when the third choice is on the table?
Pro's
1. Cosmetic improvements
The orthodontic treatment gives great results for patients with certain types of malocclusions, including underbite, overbite, or crossbite. Braces are also effective for people with a slow misalignment of the teeth, but overall healthy teeth - they keep the teeth intact and just keep the line right.
2. Health facilities
Although orthodontics can be considered as a cosmetic dental treatment, it brings several other benefits. It affects the long-term health of the teeth as well as the joints and gums of a person’s jaw. For example, when the teeth adjust properly, the braces spread the stinging pressure all over our teeth. As a result, a person no longer puts stress on the jaw muscles that were caused by misalignment.
CON'S
1. Length treatment
Unfortunately, the results of orthodox treatment can take time to become apparent. The length of treatment varies from one person to another and can take several years. In addition, patients opting for specific braces should see their orthodontist every 4 to 6 weeks for recovery.
2. Discomfort
At the beginning of treatment, the patient will feel discomfort before becoming accustomed to the use of oral braces. In addition, people who get a steady bow brace and want to go for regular augmentation are more likely to get worse later due to the extra pressure on their teeth.
Cosmetic charity procedures
While adult braces are gaining popularity, cosmetic dentistry procedures still remain the top choice. There are different types of cosmetic dentistry procedures but in this article, we are going to focus only on dental crowns and veneers.
Depending on the severity of the defect, a patient usually decides between the toothpaste and the tooth crowns and, as a result, can get a complete reconstruction of the teeth. Both methods can change the shape, size, and color of the teeth while keeping the smile completely natural.
1. Quick results
Dental veneer and dental crown
NS, provide the fastest results. And it doesn’t take more than several visits for the dentist: the first visit is reserved for cutting and molding the tooth and the second (in some cases the third) patient can already get a permanent solution. The whole process should not take more than 2 or 3 weeks.
2. Natural results
Thanks to the advancement of digital dentistry, a dentist can use sophisticated technology to create more precise results. At the Harris park Dental Lab NSW, Australia, we realize that traditional stone models are not as reliable as virtual impressions. We have been able to provide more accurate and better fitting restorations, which not only benefit the quality of the final result but also bring down the amount needed to finish the whole cosmetic process to a minimum.
CON'S
Healthy teeth are damaged
When the misalignment is minimal, trimming may not be a good option because it requires the removal of a small or large portion of a healthy tooth. In such cases, dentists usually recommend the use of braces to keep the teeth intact.
