I got a crown to copy a celebrity's teeth, but it didn't suit me at all — Also explains the difference between veneers and Mini-Sy.

I think many of you might be confused about the different types of dental procedures, so I’ve compiled a summary based on my own experience.

 

Crowns, laminates, and Minici are the three representative types.

 

A crown is a method where the entire tooth is ground down 360 degrees and placed over it like a crown. It requires the most tooth reduction.

 

Laminates are applied only to the outer surface; you can think of it as attaching the front side, similar to a nail tip.

 

Minish is similar to laminate, but it is a method of bonding with almost no cutting.

 

Instead, since a thicker layer is attached over the existing teeth, you may feel as though the teeth are moving forward and becoming thicker.

 

 

I had a crown done. At the time, I took a picture of a celebrity I liked because their teeth were pretty.

 

The result doesn't suit me at all.

 

My face shape and mouth size are different, so even if I tried to copy the tooth shape, it looked different on my face.

 

In the end, I asked them to return my teeth to their original shape.

 

Since I had already ground it down, I couldn't turn it back, so I made it exactly the same and put it on.

 

The most important thing is that once a dental procedure is performed, it can never be reversed.

 

I think it is much more important to have a thorough consultation with your doctor first to determine what kind of teeth suit your face, rather than bringing in a photo of someone else's teeth. There are many cases where natural-looking teeth are actually more attractive. :)

 

Do you guys have a complex about your teeth? I got a procedure done, but I realized later that my natural teeth were actually prettier haha.
