Reply:well it depends da state in which ur teeth is...veneers r definetly most costly then braces coz in venerrs the tooth is prepared and then a coatiing of restoration is placed on the tooth,,,so individual prep is done for each tooth,,,so it will be costly...whereas in braced dere is no preparation to be done...only if u rconscious u can go for tooth coloured braces...u can ask ur dentist he ill tellu...so decide and den go ahead..
Reply:Veneers are nice but you have to have your natural tooth prepped and something glued to the outside of it, and there is always a chance that they can fail. If you have braces and make your teeth straight and that keeps you from having to have veneers, that would be the better way to go. Braces in the end are worth all the work that comes with them, and the pain in not horrible.
Reply:DONT GET Veneers! I had veneers put on last May and it has been nothing but trouble. They gournd down my real teeth so there is no going back. My real teeth weren't even that bad to begin with. But the veneers fall off and then you have to walk around with a ugly stump of a tooth until the dentist can fit you in to rebond it onto your tooth. Its painful too.l
Reply:Well, I had my top 4 front teeth veneered. I had a gap in betweeen my front two teeth. It was very quick and they look wonderful, many compliments. It was about $1100 per tooth. So its not cheap. I would probably do it again. I do sometimes worry about cracking or chipping one, but I suppose that can happen to teeth that are not veneered also.
Reply:Elle, You are comparing apples and Oranges. Veneers are great if you have straight teeth and your teeth have some defects or chipped. If you get veneers with crowded teeth, your teeth will not look any better and you are out of several thousand $. In addition, veneers require removal of tooth structure (unless you get a new kind of veneers called Lumineers). Hope that helps.
Reply:That stuff can be really costly, but it depends on where you live. If you would feel better about yourself getting your teeth fixed and that is worth the pain for you, go for it. But you are obviosly bothered by the state of your teeth or you wouldnt be asking. The confidence to flash a beautiful smile is worth the money and pain to a lot of people. It just depends on you.

Reply:Veneers cost more because it is per tooth done while braces cost less and most times are covered under dental insurance. The cost depends on your dentist and insurance. Braces are temporary and your real teeth are not covered. Veneers are porcelain and they cover the teeth. They can last 15-20 years if you take care of them. You need to talk to your dentist on which would be better for you.
