Recently, as the profession of a “laughter therapist” has become widely known to the public, the positive effects of laughter on our lives have once again been emphasized.

However, there are also people who cannot laugh freely because of their own complexes.

Crooked and yellowed teeth,

Teeth that are too large or too small,

Gums that show whenever you smile

Even if you want to smile brightly like everyone else, there may be times when you have to cover your mouth when laughing or keep an awkward, stiff expression to hide your teeth.

It may seem minor to some, but for the person experiencing it, it is a serious issue that lowers quality of life and self-satisfaction.

For people like this, one option can be non-prep laminate.

Today, we’ll explain in an easy-to-understand way who non-prep laminate is recommended for, as well as Blanc’s lifespan.

Who is Blanc recommended for?

Who is non-prep laminate recommended for?

Blanc was made for people like this.

It is a procedure that anyone can choose if they want,

but there are certain types of people for whom it is especially recommended.

These are people who become passive because of dental issues when they smile.

This does not mean people who simply cover their mouth while laughing for no particular reason,

but rather those who do so because of dental or oral complexes.

These people are highly likely to keep a stiff expression in daily life or smile awkwardly with only their eyes, just to avoid showing their teeth to others.

According to numerous studies, when we laugh, substances such as endorphins, enkephalins, serotonin, and dopamine are released.

These substances reduce the stress accumulated in the body and also make brain activity more active.

However, if you are busy hiding your teeth every time you laugh, these substances are unlikely to be released—instead, more stress may build up.

The effects of laughter and smiling on our lives do not end there.

A natural smile also has the effect of making others perceive you as a “warm and kind person” in interpersonal relationships.

Especially in occupations where interpersonal relationships greatly affect daily life, such as sales or service work,

it would not be an exaggeration to say that nothing is more important in social life than a natural smile.

In this way, in modern society, the aesthetics of teeth are not simply a matter of whether they are “likable” or “not likable.”

Therefore, if you feel negative thoughts because of the appearance of your teeth when smiling,

we recommend experiencing firsthand the positive impact that a smile can bring through Blanc.

Why non-prep laminate, specifically?

There are four major aesthetic treatments for teeth.

Orthodontics, whitening, traditional laminate,

non-prep laminate

If the misalignment is severe enough to cause functional problems, orthodontic treatment is recommended.

However, orthodontics takes a long time,

and it has the limitation of not being able to improve microdontia or discoloration.

There is also a way to whiten yellowed teeth,

but whitening, likewise, cannot change the shape of the original natural teeth.

Because of these limitations, many people choose laminate, which bonds ceramic onto the natural tooth.

However, traditional laminate does not hesitate to remove natural tooth structure.

The average amount removed in this procedure is

0.5 mm to 1.2 mm or more.

Of course, regaining the beauty of your smile is important,

but if too much natural tooth structure is removed, you may suffer even greater pain than before due to functional problems.

Also, because ceramic is attached to weakened natural teeth after excessive removal, durability is reduced accordingly.

In other words, you may regain your smile but lose the function of your teeth.

On the other hand, non-prep laminate, Blanc, does not give up either beautiful smiles or the natural function of the original teeth.

The amount of reduction for Blanc varies depending on the patient’s dental condition.

The procedure is performed with no reduction or with a reduction of about 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm.

If the teeth are large or the front teeth overlap, or if there is tooth decay, that area must be addressed first before bonding the ceramic so that durability improves.

Depending on the case, about 0.2 mm may need to be removed, and insisting on absolutely no reduction is not always the best approach.

0.2 mm is one-fifth the thickness of enamel, the natural protective layer of the tooth,

and it is an extremely thin amount, to the point that it is also performed when needed in general dental treatments such as orthodontics.

How long does it last?

We can’t leave out the question of how long the procedure lasts.

The ceramic used in Blanc is

high-quality Swiss Feldspar ceramic,

Who Is Non-Prep Laminate Recommended For? Blanc is Made for People Like This. image 11

an expensive material with strength, wear resistance, and color similar to natural teeth.

Because of this, even when processed thinly to 0.01 mm to 0.03 mm, it can be used semi-permanently if you maintain good daily dental care.

If the gums have receded due to aging,

the affected area can also be replaced,

and the after-service is guaranteed for up to 10 years,

so there is no difficulty using it stably for at least 10 years.

Wouldn’t it feel awkward if only the teeth were changed?

Blanc was made for people like this.

A smile does not become beautiful instantly just because only the teeth are shaped.

A bumpy gum line,

the lip position that shows a lot of gum when smiling,

the corners of the mouth that droop awkwardly even when smiling,

These small things come together

to cause discomfort for us.

Accordingly, Blanc also completes the details of a beautiful smile without missing anything, all with the hands of the medical staff:

lip repositioning to improve smiles with excessive gum display,

lip fillers to create a more beautiful lip line,

Botox that naturally lifts the corners of the mouth, and more.
