If the structure and color of the person’s teeth are good enough, orthodontic treatment should be performed only if crowding is a problem. Although it has the disadvantage that the treatment will take a long time, preserving the natural teeth will provide a very high advantage. Orthodontic treatment may not always be sufficient, in these cases, treatment can be supported with laminate veneer applications.

Laminate treatment is contraindicated in patients with clenching habits, in other words, it should not be performed. However, in some cases, bruxism may start after laminate treatment, in these cases, treatment is required immediately.
  4. Regular dental examinations should not be neglected.
