Yup. Learned my lesson. Cosmetic procedure in U.S. only. (If necessary)

I can see the bonding outlined seperate from the tooth. Thats insane. I did bonding today to close a gap and i know what you mean about craze lines..i didnt care though bc my teeth already had some. Thats ridiculous what you went through im afraid to eat now hearing of your fork accident.

Wow!  The fixed version looks good.  Great job on that!  I can just barely see a couple of lines in your upper left central incisor--is that what you were talking about?  I'm not sure I'd have noticed if you'd not pointed them out.  Do you find that people mention them?

I can't give advice since I'm not a doctor and I've never done veneers.  I've seen lots of pictures on here, though, of truly gorgeous veneers.  It's not a good solution for everyone, but it works for some.  I think your teeth look beautiful in the last picture, though.  For advice on your situation, I'd suggest asking the doctors in our Q&A Forum, which you can do right here.  You'll need to submit very clear and well-lit pictures, though, so that they can give you the best advice possible.

The no-prep veneers tend to make teeth thicker, which, for most people, leaves them with unusually thick teeth, and comes with its own set of problems.  But it depends on the condition of your teeth now.  Definitely ask the doctors!  And good luck at your consultation--that is an excellent idea as well!

I see the current picture and your teeth look great. I would not do a thing for a while. I did Invisalign and have nice straight teeth but not PERFECT. I decided to wait a while. I know think too much work looks phony and is risky. I will accept the tiny flaws. I do like the straight teeth. I am afraid if I get more work. I won't like it.

Hey, @mic123!  You finished your Invisalign?  Are you in full-time retainers now or are you already at part-time?

Tiny flaws are normal and im sure your teeth turned out great! And yea don't do any thing else.

Update: I got the teeth polished and they look normal now. Naturally inperfect....I still have craze lines and they are thinner....but they look normal. I still regret ever touching them. Please never get any dental work done even the simplest of things can go wrong and there is no going back.

This is true. I agree with the comment from Anonymousfromnyc. That is why any realistic surgeon, dentist, doctor, whatever will tell you upfront that nothing is guaranteed. There are always risks.

Just because there are risks involved in a procedure doesn't mean no one should ever have any dental work done. There are risks with everything and one should always do their research. That doesn't mean you should "never get any dental work done."

No place to be a jerk. Realself is a community for people to share their journey. I was young and people make mistakes. All i was doing in sharing was trying to prevent other people from making a mistake. I wouldn't wish the pain and emotional nightmare in anyone.
