Read more to learn more about your choices, and how to make the best\ndecision for your smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Invisalign in Reno involves a set of clear plastic aligner\ntrays that you wear over your teeth for about 22 hours a day. They exert a\ngentle pressure on your teeth to gradually shift your entire smile into a\nstraighter position. You\u2019ll wear a new pair of aligners every couple of weeks\nor so, each one designed to shift a small portion of your smile at a time. Most\npatients see beautifully straight results after about a year of treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are You a Good Candidate for Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Invisalign is incredibly versatile. It can be used to\ncorrect multiple issues you may have with your smile, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Overbite <\/li><li>Underbite <\/li><li>Crossbite <\/li><li>Gaps between teeth <\/li><li>Crowded teeth <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your problem is with your bite as a whole and not a few\nselect teeth, Invisalign may be better for you. Also, Invisalign candidates\nmust be determined and responsible enough to wear their aligners for pretty\nmuch the whole day, only removing them to eat, brush, and floss. If you are\nunable or unwilling to wear your aligners for at least 22 hours a day, Invisalign\nwon\u2019t work as intended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Porcelain Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veneers are ultra-thin shells of durable dental porcelain\nthat are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. These versatile restorations\ncan be used to fix several flaws at once, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Oddly shaped teeth&nbsp; <\/li><li>Rotated or mildly crooked teeth <\/li><li>Gapped teeth <\/li><li>Stained or discolored teeth <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make sure the veneers lay flush against your teeth, your\ndentist in Reno will need to remove a tiny sliver of enamel from the affected\nteeth. Afterwards, you will have a beautiful, perfectly straight smile that\nstill looks natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Porcelain Veneers Right for You?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because veneers can be used to correct a wide variety of issues\nin your smile, they could most likely benefit yours. However, your teeth and\ngums must be in good health before the veneers can be placed. This problem is\ngenerally easy to remedy by scheduling a consultation with your dentist to\ndetermine how to improve your oral health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Invisalign and porcelain veneers are both great options when\nit comes to cosmetic dentistry in Reno. Talk to your dentist about which one\nwould be better for your smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Josh Branco is a cosmetic dentist in Reno and a graduate\nof Boston University.
