I didn't have bad teeth, but because of my rabbit teeth and gum asymmetry, they didn't look good every time I took a picture, so
after worrying for a few years, I ended up getting laminate treatment.
I had 7 upper teeth laminated + skirt whitening + gum plastic surgery. I had root canal treatment on the two front teeth. (I heard that if you don't do it, it may hurt)
At the first consultation, I thought I only went for 4 upper teeth, but considering the space and combination with the people next to me, I was told that 6 would be appropriate. One of my left lateral incisors is an implant tooth. So, contrary to my expectations, the number increased from 4 to 6... (pressure of price ㅜ^ㅜ). While I was doing this, I asked for the same tooth that was crowned on the left side, so I paid for the total. There are now 7.
After that, when the mold is made, the model of my teeth comes out like a plaster statue(?), and the shape of the teeth to be molded in the future is added to the model
. It was so amazing to see my teeth, which I was always used to, change into small and neat ones... I wish it would be like this soon. Just.. haha, I just got anxious~
They trimmed the teeth to that shape and attached temporary teeth on top of them. The temporary teeth were less noticeable than expected and looked real, so there was no inconvenience in living there. (However, due to the pigmentation, it looked like curry. (They say you can't eat it.)
If you go back after about 10 days, a tooth made of porcelain will come out. After the temporary teeth are removed, they will lightly place it on my teeth and ask if you like the shape. Look closely and then decide. I like it~ Please just say it’s pretty! As I thought to myself, the treatment is finally over~~~ Ah! I did it...
but... the director looked at it and said that the axis of my front teeth was slightly shifted to the left. It wasn't noticeable, but if it was okay, I would wait 3-4 more days and fix it again... ㅠㅠ Ugh. ~
Still, since these are teeth that will have to be placed for about 10 to 15 years...
I thought it would be better to listen to the director's advice... so I had no choice but to put temporary teeth back in and return home. Because of the anesthesia, the area around the room was completely blocked...ㅠㅠ It was even more embarrassing because I had to be alone. Then, after 3-4 days, the treatment was completely completed and I came back~ haha
After all the procedures, I feel great now~! When I first got temporary teeth, maybe because I had to grind my teeth, it was a bit sore and I couldn't get used to it, so I couldn't even eat ramen. , Now, it's not 100% like my old teeth, but about 80-90% of them feel like my own teeth. They say that after about 6 months to 1 year, it will become stronger and more comfortable. Although it was a bit expensive, I am still very satisfied with it now.
If it's just a little bit disappointing, I wonder if the color should have been whiter, but if I had made it whiter, it wouldn't harmonize with my lower teeth and would look unnatural... I think it looks whiter in real life than in the photo.
But people are really treacherous~ The first time I got temporary teeth, they were really pretty!! The person looked different!! It used to be like this, but as time passed, I became more and more used to the shape, so wasn't it originally like this? It happened like this. Yesterday, when I was looking at the before and after photos I received from the dentist, did my teeth look like this? I felt deep regret once again because of this.
I am uploading a frontal photo and a photo of the right and left sides. ^^
(I think the before plastic surgery pictures on the left are a little bigger~ I think my front teeth weren't that big to begin with...-_-;; haha)
I'm also interested in laminate...
First of all, you can clearly see the change. Of course, it gets better after the procedure. very!
I would also like some information!! Even the location of the hospital!
Could you please give me more detailed information? Did you ever get your teeth removed? I've been worried since I heard you'll have a hard time later...ㅠ.ㅠ I heard it's not good for your gums either...ㅠ.ㅠ Please give me some information~
That's all the information ^ ^ What's the recovery period like? Also, I’m curious about the price..
The shape of your front teeth seems a bit similar to mine.. I don’t have protruding teeth either.
These days, when I look at my straight teeth, they look so pretty.
But, were fake teeth added after you did it? Look at the explanation, I didn't understand it well, so they didn't just remove the tooth and put in a fake one, right??
Laminate can be thought of as the same method as attaching artificial nails to fingernails, but you can think of it as slightly grinding the surface of the original tooth and attaching it with a very thin porcelain tooth. Implants are when you remove a tooth and implant a fake one..^^
Since laminate is semi-permanent, I understand that it has a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. There may be individual differences depending on how you manage it, but it will need to be replaced after that. It makes you look pretty in a short period of time, but when you look at the cost, it is a bit burdensome;;
I heard that if you take good care of it, it can last up to 20 years, but I'm still new so I'm not sure haha.
