Which Do I Need, an Orthodontist or a Cosmetic Dentist For Issues With Front Teeth? (photo)
My front teeth look prominent because: - they are almost aligned in a row, instead of being in an arch - they are slightly pushed forward / protruding - my lateral incisors are wide due to veneers/ buildup I just want them to look more "compact". The measurements might be fine, but I just don't like the way it looks. FIRST 3 PHOTOS: Me LAST PHOTO: The smile I want ("arched: teeth alignment)

You may need both orthodontis/cosmetic dentist to address your needs
You have very nice natural teeth and so you should minimize how much grinding or work you have done.
Your lateral incisors do look too large in comparison to the centrals. The question is: are the size of the centrals correct for your face? are you happy with the size and shape of the centrals. If the answer is yes, then what I would recomend is to get smaller veneers on the laterals and close the spaces with braces or invisalign (and whiten the teeth if you want.) The best way is...

The Smile You've Always Wanted.....
While these are good answers form the other docs, it seems to me that we can't see any of your lower teeth...why? Its most likely that you have a "lost of posterior vertical space" of which a ortho may be able to address but, if it where me I'd fine a Neuromuscular Dentist with cosmetic post. grad traning. In this way we could open your closed space and get the final results I think your looking for!
All the best,

Orthodontics and Cosmetic Dentist to Correct Your Smile
You have a combination of a significant cant (slanting) of you upper teeth and large central and lateral incisors. I think that I would have the slant corrected first with Invisalign or braces. Once the smile is level, then you can have veneers to make the incisors smaller if you desire. The total treatment would take about a year, but in the end you would have a gorgeous, level smile. Good luck.

Cosmetic Dentist or Orthodontist?
From the looks of your pictures, I think you will do well with a well trained and experienced cosmetic dentist that has a good knowledge of orthodontics as well. From what you described, you probably would get what you want from new porcelain veneers on 8 or 10 of your upper teeth. That way, the dentist could obtain the sizes of teeth and the arch development that you are looking for. He would also be able to advise you, based on your occlusion (the way your upper and lower teeth meet each...

Braces are for misaligned teeth not teeth that are wrong in size . Smaller veneers are the solution.
