Is it possible to make my teeth look straight without braces? They've been crooked since I was a child now I am 25. (photo)

Question

Can I get them filed down an covered with something like a denture, it is only 2 two I'd like to get fixed for now.

David M. Schertzer, DDS · Answer

I believe the only reasonable option you have to have a great looking smile with strait teeth is through orthodontics.  Veneer or crowning of the displaced teeth will not give you the correct proportions and won't be able to compensate for the inset of the lateral incisor.  I think you need to start with evaluation by an orthodontist and discuss your options from there i.e. braces or Invisalign.

Kenneth A. Barton, DDS · Answer

Invisalign is your treatment of choice. a poor 2nd is veneers which would be bulky, difficult to match the colors of your adjacent teeth, and could fracture.
