Side Effects Of Dental Laminates For Smile Design Correction

To align the teeth properly during smile design correction with dental laminates, a layer of the tooth enamel must be removed. Trimming the enamel weakens the teeth, as the enamel is integral for maintaining its strength. After the enamel is removed, the teeth will be covered with special dental veneers. If the veneers are of poor quality and strength, or if they are exposed to food debris or oral bacteria for any reason, the teeth will be sensitive to cold and hot temperatures and later on, leads to a variety of problems.

Side Effects Of Orthodontic Treatments For Smile Design Correction

Orthodontics offers the most common methods of smile design correction. If the orthodontic correction of smile design is done by less experienced orthodontists, it can cause many oral problems, the most serious of which is periodontal disease. In this regard, other side side effects of orthodontics include tooth yellowing and decay not caused by orthodontic brackets and archwires but poor oral hygiene. When you have orthodontic brackets on your teeth, food debris can easily get stuck beneath and between them, allowing bacteria to grow. To avoid such complications, you should practice good oral hygiene.
