While porcelain veneers are an excellent option for enhancing the cosmetic appearance of your smile by covering minor misalignments, gaps, and uneven teeth, they are not a solution for severe misalignment. Veneers can create the illusion of perfectly aligned teeth by being placed over the natural teeth, but they do not change the actual position of the teeth. For significant alignment issues, orthodontic treatments such as braces or Invisalign are recommended first. In some cases, a combination of orthodontics followed by veneers can achieve the desired aesthetic result and correct functional issues.
