NEWSFLASH:
A report published by a recognized expert in orthodontics states increased damage to teeth can occur from longer orthodontic treatment times. The report also refuted other beliefs about orthodontic care. This is good news for patients as it supports the new concept of using faster types of orthodontic treatment. A breakthrough in cosmetic braces called HSB 3 Month BracesTM is using this new finding to produce what may be the fastest braces in the world! Visit 3MonthBraces.com for more information.
Having dental braces has traditionally been a long and drawn out process which helped spawn the popularity of the porcelain veneer for cosmetic dental makeovers. While the thought of walking in with crooked teeth and strolling out with a perfect smile sounds like a quick solution to an embarrassing problem, the answer is not as simple as it appears.
While porcelain veneers are an incredible breakthrough for cosmetic dentistry,they are not the only method of treatment dentists should consider for the correction of crowded or spaced teeth. Veneers are more conservative than full crowns but they usually involve the removal of enamel from the surface of the teeth. This enamel is lost forever and reduces the natural protection of the teeth. Porcelain does not wear as well as enamel and is more prone to fracture. In comparison, "High Speed Braces" (TM) can offer a rapid alternative to traditional orthodontics and yet the results are usually reversible, more conservative and less costly in the short and long term than porcelain veneer/crown makeovers.
