Braces and veneers are both popular ways to improve your smile, but they work in completely different ways.
Braces are orthodontic devices that physically move teeth into proper position. They are ideal for correcting crowding, overbite, spacing, and bite alignment. Results are long-lasting and improve both esthetics and function.
Veneers, on the other hand, are cosmetic restorations placed on the front surface of teeth. They don’t move teeth — instead, they cover imperfections like discoloration, small gaps, chipped edges, or minor misalignment. Treatment is faster and ideal for patients wanting an instant smile transformation.
Which to choose?
If your goal is to correct crooked teeth or bite problems, braces or aligners are the right choice.
If you want a quick, esthetic makeover, veneers may be the faster option.
