These comprehensive treatment plans are designed to address misaligned teeth while improving both the functionality and aesthetics of your smile. With advanced techniques and personalized care, Dr. Claustro and her team can help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile that restores your confidence and enhances your quality of life.

What is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover is a customized treatment plan that combines multiple cosmetic and restorative dental procedures to improve the appearance and functionality of your teeth. The process typically begins with a consultation to evaluate your dental needs, preferences, and aesthetic goals.

Common treatments in a custom smile makeover may include:

  • Teeth whitening to brighten stained or discolored teeth
  • Porcelain veneers to cover imperfections and create uniformity
  • Invisalign® aligners or other orthodontic treatments to realign crooked teeth

Each procedure is tailored to address specific issues, such as misaligned teeth, ensuring a harmonious and attractive result.

Can porcelain veneers fix crooked teeth?

Porcelain veneers are an excellent solution for patients with slightly crooked or uneven teeth. These thin, custom-made shells are bonded to the front of your teeth, providing an almost instantly straighter and more uniform appearance.

Veneers are a great choice for:

  • Teeth with mild misalignment or gaps
  • Uneven or irregularly shaped teeth
  • Patients seeking a quick transformation

While veneers don't move teeth into proper alignment, they can provide the visual effect of straighter teeth and are a good option for patients with minor concerns.

How does Invisalign work to straighten crooked teeth?

Invisalign treatment offers a clear, discreet way to straighten teeth without traditional braces. Using a series of custom-made aligners, this treatment gradually moves teeth into proper alignment over time.

Invisalign clear aligners are ideal for:

  • Crowded or overlapping teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Patients with mild to moderate misalignment

Since Invisalign aligners are removable, they allow for easy cleaning and do not require dietary restrictions, making them a convenient and effective choice for straightening crooked teeth.

Why should you correct crooked teeth with a custom smile makeover?

Crooked teeth are more than a cosmetic concern — they can also lead to oral health issues. Misaligned teeth are more challenging to clean, increasing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and uneven wear. Correcting crooked teeth with a custom smile makeover in Ashburn, VA can help:

  • Improve your oral hygiene and overall dental health
  • Enhance the balance and functionality of your bite
  • Boost your confidence with a straighter, healthier-looking smile

Straightening your teeth not only enhances your appearance but also protects your oral health for years to come.
