I currently am unhappy with my teeth, and am not sure in what direction to go. I had braces and everything was good until i ended up getting into an accident and my front right tooth got damaged ending in a veneer. Now i am not so happy with this veneer bc i think its not the right size but what it made me realize is my incisors are too small and my teeth look horse like. What would one recommend should i get my front teeth shaved down or incisors fixed or neither?
