Crooked Teeth Treatment

Some cases of teeth straightening simply don’t call for braces or don’t suit them as the best response. For example, some of our patients have just one tooth that is out of alignment from the rest; other cases show teeth that are overlapping each other. Either of these cases may not be ideal situations for the use of braces or Invisalign, but porcelain veneers may easily correct the problem and lead to a beautiful straight smile. Another example, and one which we see quite frequently, involves the canine teeth (fangs) showing more prominently than the rest of the teeth, and creating a perfect opportunity for teeth straightening – we can easily use porcelain veneers to correct the appearance of these teeth.

Even if your teeth are set back from the others, or if just one tooth is, we can still correct this quickly and easily, without the use of a brace. The causes of crooked or misaligned teeth are incredibly varied – as one particularly notable example, many of our clients used to suck their thumbs as children and the result was their teeth pushed forwards at the front.

Veneers can also be used to reduce the protrusion of these teeth. Due to the variety of reasons for teeth being crooked, the only thing that matters is how we respond – and in many cases, a set of custom, hand-crafted porcelain veneers from our dental experts on Harley Street can give you a beautiful, even smile in only a few days! Our porcelain veneers can usually be applied in just two pain-free sessions, lasting on average just 90 minutes. Instead of months or years wearing uncomfortable braces, our clients are able to undergo teeth straightening in just a few hours, in a clinic specially designed to make everything as stress-free and painless as possible.

No! In most cases getting veneers is a completely pain-free process.

On average veneers will be fitted over 2 appointments, lasting around 90 minutes each, and you will be able to return straight to work after the treatment. You might experience some short-lived sensitivity around your gums, and it can take a little time for chewing and talking to feel completely normal. Realistically though, the worst you will experience with veneers will be a short sharp scratch – and that’s only in the unlikely event that a local anaesthetic is required.

The other great news about opting for veneers to straighten your smile is that you will see results after just 3 weeks. To achieve the same look with braces would typically take 18 months to 2 years. Anyone with experience of braces will also know that they come with a degree of discomfort – especially if they require tightening – making veneers the obvious, pain-free choice.

Here at the Harley Street Smile Clinic, we like to think there are very few smile problems we can’t help solve and we regularly use veneers for crooked teeth – with impressive results.

As veneers are fixed to the front surface of teeth and can be used to enhance the natural size, shape, colour and positioning they can effectively even out a crooked smile. And whilst there are limitations – veneers will not be able to fully realign teeth – they can dramatically improve the appearance of an overcrowded or crooked smile.

To find out if veneers would work for your smile, contact the team. We’ll gladly take a closer look at your teeth and advise on the best treatment to help you achieve optimum results.

Veneers are a costly treatment, but they are also highly effective – and whether you’re seeking veneers for crooked teeth, or to cover chips or stains, this does not influence the price.

What will impact the price of treatment is how many veneers you require to straighten out the look of your smile. However, you can rest assured we will only ever fit the number necessary to ensure you achieve your desired results and a beautifully natural, balanced smile.
