Getting Uneven Teeth Corrected Using Cosmetic Dentistry

12/5/2022

0 Comments

 
Smiles and laughter with confidence are what everyone wants. When your teeth are uneven, you may not feel comfortable flashing your pearly whites. It is common for teeth to be uneven. Uneven teeth can be corrected in many ways so that you can smile confidently without feeling self-conscious.

While some methods, like veneers and contouring, are less invasive and complex, Braces can be are more complex but more satisfying in the end! Smiling is contagious! You can have your teeth straightened, aligned, coloured, or fixed with cosmetic dentistry.

How Do Teeth Become Uneven?

There are a number of factors that can lead to uneven teeth. Usually, the cause of an uneven smile may be genetics, poor oral hygiene, teeth grinding, or accidents which have occurred in the past.  Tooth grinding is a major player causing a crowded smile as well.  

There is a possibility that you may consider uneven teeth to be a mere cosmetic concern. There are, however, other dental problems that can result from uneven teeth.  Crowded teeth can be more difficult to maintain leading to gum problems in the future.  Depending on your bite, you may develop TMJ disorder, which causes pain in your jaw. An important step in preventing these serious oral conditions is to correct your uneven teeth.

Veneers

Veneers are a thin layer of porcelain that is custom made with a tooth-colour that is bonded over the front surface of your teeth to cover the visible surface. Minor imperfections, such as teeth with uneven shapes, gaps, and chips, can be hidden with them.

As well as masking worn enamel and discolorations, veneers may conceal discolorations. It takes only a couple of appointments to complete dental veneers, which are minimally invasive.
​

A thin layer of enamel is removed from the surface of your teeth so that the veneers can be attached. After the veneer has been attached, the final step is to seal it. A complete smile transformation will result once the procedure is completed. The perfect smile can be created by altering your teeth's shape, size, length, and colour with veneers.

Despite their cosmetic appearance, veneers serve more than one purpose! As a result, you may not need to undergo extensive dental treatment and your bite can be improved.

Your teeth are protected from further damage by porcelain veneers, and your bite and jaw are aligned properly with porcelain veneers as well. Additionally, if you take care of them properly, they will last for many years and the lifespan can even be extended.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a very minimally invasive procedure. This procedure is also quite quick and can correct minor tooth damage, uneven teeth, and gaps in teeth. It will result in a more symmetrical and straighter smile due to the straightening of your teeth.

It is typically the case that your dentist will apply a small amount of tooth-colored composite resin to your tooth at your appointment for dental bonding. In order to blend in with your other teeth, the material is molded into the desired shape and colour.

Hardening and polishing are then performed on the resin. A dazzling new smile awaits you after the procedure is complete.

Contouring

Reshaping your teeth is referred to as contouring. The dentist uses a rotating instrument called a bur to remove a thin layer of enamel during this procedure.

If your cosmetic dental issues are small, your teeth can be slightly reshaped, resized, or resurfaced due to minor differences in their shape, length, or surface. It will make your smile look more consistent because all your teeth will look the same.

Chips, crowding, and unevenness can be repaired quickly with this technique. Front teeth are the most common place to use it. Also, a local anesthetic is rarely necessary for the procedure, which is relatively painless.

Crowns

In cases of decay, broken or missing teeth, porcelain crowns are a common solution. This restores the aesthetics and function of a damaged tooth by covering it above the gum line.

In addition to correcting uneven teeth, crowns can also be used to correct crooked teeth.  With the help of a crown, your dentist can modify the shape of a tooth, making it blend in with the rest of your smile.

With a crown, you get a natural look that is custom-made for you. The durable design ensures that the bite is not compromised. Teeth are strengthened by crowns, which reinforce them.

Braces

Orthodontics can correct crooked, misaligned, crowded, gapped, or misaligned teeth regardless of your age. A chip, crack, or any other type of damage cannot be repaired with these adhesives.

You might not be able to get the desired effect with braces if you have uneven teeth. Corrective orthodontics can be recommended by your dentist if you are a good candidate.

Braces have helped many of our patients improve the appearance of their smiles by straightening and aligning the teeth. Gradually, they correct spacing issues and misaligned bites by shifting teeth into the correct positions.

McAdams Dental works with many local Phoenix and Scottsdale Orthodontists who can use braces as the initial step towards a beautiful smile makeover.  

Clear Aligners

Despite the fact that clear aligners have a different appearance than braces, they serve the same purpose. A clear aligner is a plastic device that uses clear brackets to attach to your teeth. Braces are attached to your teeth with metal brackets.  In this way, teeth straightening with them is more discreet. If you're looking for a low-profile option, clear alignment trays are the best choice.

In the same way that braces shift your teeth into the correct position, clear aligners do the same. Gradually, your teeth are moved using clear plastic trays.
​

Invisalign clear aligners are available at McAdams Dental in Scottsdale, Arizona.
