Peg lateral and crooked front tooth: how to make my smile more aesthetically pleasing? (Photos)

Question

I am wondering what the best treatment will be to make my smile more aesthetically pleasing. I have a peg lateral tooth (had some bonding years back) with a crooked front tooth. Just wondering what the best treatment will be for me?

Orthodontics would provide better alignment and a more pleasing arch shape.  Orthodontics can provide some additional space around the small lateral so it can be made proportional to the rest of your teeth. You have the potential for a killer smile.  Find a good, experienced orthodontist and ask him or her which cosmetic dentist they prefer to work with.  Go with that recommendation.  Every dentist does "cosmetic dentistry"  Some are better at it than others.  Orthodontists know who the good ones are.
