I loved my temporaries. I had severe tetracycline stains, and some chipping. the new teeth seem to be at diffferent length, a bit gray, bottom corners all seem chipped evenly, and body look oval, primarily my middle two teeth. I didn't pick OVAL style, but Softened style; the temps seemed to line up better, straight sides, w/slight contour. The color is reflecting inconsistency; so need opinion - can they be reshaped? Did they not cover the tetracycline stains? what would improve outcome?
