Should I get whitening or orthodontics before veneers?
Short answerIt is generally recommended to complete other dental treatments like orthodontics or teeth whitening before getting veneers.
- Orthodontics should be done first to bring your teeth into a suitable position, which provides the best foundation for the veneers.
- Whitening should be performed right before the veneer process because the ceramic veneers will be permanently matched to this newly brightened shade.
- This specific order helps achieve the most cohesive final result.
- Discuss your comprehensive smile goals with your dentist to create a proper treatment plan.
