Can Retin-A Clear Dark Marks and Even out Discoloration?

Topical retinoids do provide some efficacy in treating hyperpigmentation of the skin.  Triluma is a cream that incorporates a retinoid with hydroquinone, a bleaching agent, and a topical steroid for the synergistic effect on treating melasma.

Would Veneers Fix Worn Down Bicuspids? (photo)

I was wondering whether dental veneers would be able to bring back the length and point of my bicupids? I went to a dentist who wasn't very skilled and he shaved the point down way too much, my smile doesn't look half as broad now, and you can see the back part of the tooth when I smile because there's no length on the front side. - Photo included

Porcelain veneers can change the shape and length of your teeth.  It would be a minimal amount of tooth removed or a no prep veneers to add length and width to your teeth.  Ask the orthodontist if they can possibly move the tooth out further to help you see more of it when you smile.  The point on your tooth may also be put back with some cosmetic recontouring.

I Have Five Crooked Bottom Teeeth and Two Overlapping Will Invisalign Work for Me? (photo)

will i have to get teeth removed.

Invisalign is a great way to straighten your teeth.  Most cases do not require removing teeth and the thought today is not to remove any if at all possible.  I would recommend you having a consultation with an Invisalign doctor in your area to discuss options.
