Default is glam smile safe?

i had braces on for 4 years and took it off 2 years ago. Now im still not very satisfied with the smile i have, so i decided to discuss this with a cosmetic dentist and he gave me a full cosmetic consultation. he have studied my teeth and suggest me to do glam smile because he said i am still quite young (16 years old ). However veneers are more expensive so i thought veneers should have more advantage and must be better. So i would really like to know the disadvantages and advantages of glam smile.
thanks a lot for helping!

Dear Chloe,

You are very young indeed to be considering veneers. I'm not sure you would find a dentist on these forums who would be happy to do that for you. Do remember that veneers will probably need to be replaced every 10-15 years. This is not as important for someone who is 65 years old!

For the best veneers you can expect to pat £700 upwards per tooth..

I hope this helps

Kindest regards

I'm interested in Glam smile aswell - something seems fishy with it though.

Please message me your opinion, I'm struggling to find anything on the internet that isn't spin.

what's a glam smile?

Chloe, you are just a kid. Whiten your teeth, have some more ortho/ invisalign but dont have your teeth prepared
