What can I do to fix a protruding front tooth? (Photo)

Question

I have a front tooth that sticks out way more than the others. I really don't want to do braces or invisalign bc I'm fine with everything else and don't want to have them for 1 year+. But I'm worried that there are no other ways to correct this. I've read that veneers or tooth bonding may be options but I worry that my tooth is pushed out too far. (Roughly) How much is one veneer with dental insurance? What are my options?I look forward to all suggestions, thanks.

The protruding of this front tooth is very severe.  You would have to be very aggressive in the amount of tooth structure removed for a natural look.  Your best option would be full bracket orthodontics or Invisalign.  I know it would take a considerable amount of time, but would be worth it in the end.  Good luck.

Judging from your photo alone, your palate is quite narrow and has resulted in crowded front teeth.You make a good candidate for invisalign, some expansion of your upper arch will create space to accomodate for straight front teeth and a fuller smile.Good luck! :)
