I have quite an overbite as well which I want braces to correct it but mostly just concerned with my front 4/6 teeth. been thinking about bonding as it's cheaper than veneers & I could afford to get them done within the next few months. (One day I'd like veneers but not anytime soon) - Would I be a good candidate? Also interested in gum contouring because my teeth are longer/shorter in the gum line. Please let me know how you think I should go about correcting my smile!

Answer: Have dentist check your bite Hello, The 'malformed' lateral teeth look like it's how your teeth bite together. If this is the case, fillings (bonding) isn't going to last very long because as soon as you chew and bite into things they can pop off or break.It's easier to smooth out the edge and make them straight across which would help how they look in your smile. Most dentists likely wouldn't even charge for a small enamelplasty like that. Braces would be a good idea to help your symmetry and bite. Your gums are not supposed to be straight across and look OK in the picture. If they show excessively in a big smile, crown lengthening may be an option.

Answer: Am I a candidate for bonding? Difficult to tell from you photo's, your central incisors look nice. I can't see differences in gum levels, need to show more gum tissue above where teeth end. I would recommend that you check out EasySmileVeneers(soon to be called ProVeneers). They are a breakthrough in cosmetic dentistry that allow for a ProVeneer to be custom designed on your tooth(teeth) chair side in just a few minutes. They do not require any filing down of your tooth, they are very natural looking, and they are much less expensive than porcelain veneers. A dentist trained in this technique can create a Preview Veneer in 2 minutes for you to see what final result will look like before you commit to final treatment. You can do a google search for easysmile veneers for more information.
