Fifth Question: I would like to know if there are advantages
of laminates versus orthodontic treatments. What is the time required for both of these cosmetic dentistry procedures?
Yes, these two cosmetic dentistry procedures are totally
different by all means. If you choose orthodontic treatments, you will have to wait more than one year and a half to be 100% completed, this is not at all the case with porcelain laminates. Porcelain laminates will take only two visits and will correct crooked teeth usually better than the orthodontic treatment.
