I've had 3 teeth prepped for Veneers- 2 baby teeth and a front incisor (which had a large composite on anyway due to root canal treatment. With the temporaries, my bite doesn't feel right. The one on my left hand-side keeps moving (it cracked and fell out-I've just slotted it in .The one on my right handside is bulky from the back so I can't chew as well as I used to. I'm now really worried that the permenant veneers will cause the same problems-falling out and making my bite uncomfortable.

Temporary veneers bother you?

If they do then you need to go back to your dentist and have your bite adjusted. It quick and painless. The permanant veneers will be thinner and nicer than the plastic or comp temps..Dr Thomas

Temporaries are not as nice as final porcelain restorations

Temporaries are designed to come off, but the finals should not. You should be fine in the end.... Bonding to baby teeth is not as strong as to permanent teeth.
