Do lumineers work if my teeth are really crooked

Q. How are Lumineers on crooked teeth are they the best option or is there an alternative to make my smile look great again I have heard some people say that either invisalign or clearstep invisible braces may be better for me

 

A. It does vary from case to case. As a general rule crooked teeth are best aligned with tooth reduction. This helps to minimize thick & thin edges. If you are reducing tooth and using porcelain in thicker sections then feldspathic porcelain ( conventional ) will be more aesthetic in my opinion. ( with the money saved you can buy the talents of a really top ceramist ) Alternatively combine some adult orthodontics (braces/ clearstep/ invisalign) with veneers to reduce the amount of correction needed.
