I just finished my braces and my teeth have white spots on them. It’s pretty embarrassing and my friends have pointed it out to me, so I know it is noticeable. Getting braces was pretty expensive. I want to cover the white spots, but I don’t want to ask my mom about it if it is going to be way too expensive for her. She’s a single mom and works super hard but we don’t have a lot of money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Becky,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lumineers are just one brand of porcelain veneers<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

First, I just want to tell you how proud I am of how you are handling this. You aren’t running to your mom demanding anything. Instead, you are doing research to see if this is even a possibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should know up front, that Lumineers<\/a> are just one brand of porcelain veneers. Many of the best cosmetic dentists actually prefer to use a different brand, so don’t be surprised if you go to a dentist and they suggest another type. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as the cost, that often depends on the quality, skill, and philisopy of the dentist you’re going to, but I would expect it to cost between $800 to $1,600 per tooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This may be out of the budget of your mother if finances are a struggle. That doesn’t mean you can’t have a beautiful smile though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

White Spots After Braces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When your braces are removed and there are white spots, it is a sign that food and bacteria became caught around your braces while you were wearing them. The white spots are the pre-cursors to decay, so you’ll want to see your dentist fairly soon to shore up and weak spots before they become full blown cavities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repairing the white spots cosmetically can be done with dental bonding<\/a>. A dentist could hand sculpt the composite bonding onto your teeth and it will cover the white spots perfectly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In your place, instead of suggesting a procedure to your mother, I would just let her know what’s going on and ask if the two of you can talk to the dentist about affordable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of luck to you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
