Artificial devices replacing missing or damaged teeth. They include dentures, bridges, crowns, implants, and veneers.
Yes, porcelain veneers can be used to improve the angulation and alignment angle of a tooth, enhancing its aesthetics.
They consist of brackets (attached to teeth), archwires (that guide tooth movement), and bands or ties (that secure the wire to brackets).
Using mouthwash with fluoride is generally acceptable after getting porcelain veneers, as it can help maintain the health of your natural teeth.
If you have a dental emergency or injury, consult with your orthodontist for guidance on whether to continue wearing your aligners.
Causes include certain medications, aging, radiation therapy, diseases, and tobacco or alcohol use.
