CASE STUDY · INVISALIGN AND PORCELAIN VENEERS
A man working in a high-pressure job had been grinding heavily. His front teeth were chipping, had natural staining and made his smile look older.

01
He had been grinding heavily. His front teeth were chipping, had natural staining, and made his smile look older.
02
The bite needed a small adjustment first, so the veneers wouldn’t take the full force of his grinding.
03
Veneers placed on an unbalanced bite would chip in the same way his teeth had. A brief course of Invisalign balanced the bite first.
Then four porcelain veneers restored shape and colour on the front teeth, with a night guard to protect them.
04
1
Short course of Invisalign
A brief period of aligners balanced the bite.
2
Four porcelain veneers
Four porcelain veneers were placed on the front teeth to restore shape and colour.
7 to 8 months · Short Invisalign, then veneers
05
His front teeth are no longer chipped, and the colour and shape look fresher and more even.
06
Wearing a night guard to protect the veneers
Regular check-ups
07
A combined plan is priced stage by stage, so you can see what each part costs. After your consultation you get a written treatment plan with costs, before anything starts. Payment plans are available for orthodontic and cosmetic treatment, so the cost can be spread out.
08
Front teeth that are chipping
Grinding or clenching, especially under stress
Teeth that make your smile look older
Natural staining that whitening hasn’t fixed
If a few of these sound familiar, a consultation is the best next step. We explain your options, including the smallest treatment that will do the job.
This summary is based on the treating dentist’s account of the case. Every mouth is different, so your options, timing and costs depend on your own assessment.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Often, yes, with planning. Balancing the bite first and wearing a night guard afterwards protects the veneers, as in this case.
Front teeth naturally shorten and flatten with wear. Restoring their length and shape can make a smile look fresher.
Porcelain is stronger and more stain-resistant, which suits heavy forces, but either needs protecting with a night guard.
