Crooked teeth laminate
Dental laminate is one of the best and most common cosmetic dentistry treatments. In general, this treatment consists of a very thin covering that is placed on the teeth. In this article, we are going to provide you with explanations about the lamination of crooked teeth.

What is immediate orthodontics?
The lamination of crooked teeth to solve crooked and misaligned problems is called immediate orthodontics. Of course, consider one important point. Dental laminate can never have the function and result of orthodontics. Laminate can only correct the appearance of teeth. If crooked teeth have caused a functional or health problem, orthodontics is the primary and permanent solution to these problems, not laminate.
