Abstract
This study explores the preferences of individuals regarding the use of veneers and aligners for closing teeth spacing, with an emphasis on esthetic outcomes. A sample of 20 participants, aged 25-45, was surveyed to assess their knowledge, perceptions, and priorities when choosing between these two cosmetic dental treatments. The results indicate that 70% of participants preferred veneers, primarily due to their ability to provide immediate aesthetic improvements, while 30% favored aligners for their non-invasive, tooth-preserving nature. Key factors influencing decision-making included the importance of rapid cosmetic enhancement, long-term tooth preservation, treatment duration, comfort, and cost. Veneers were significantly preferred by those seeking instant results despite higher costs, whereas aligners appealed to those prioritizing gradual tooth movement and dental health. The study contributes to the understanding of patient preferences in cosmetic dentistry and the importance of tailored treatment options based on esthetic and functional considerations.
