I got my veneers put on about 2 weeks ago. At first I thought they looked good, as I got to look in a quick mirror for a minute before they cemented them on. Prior to this I had gotten a wax up and they were too round, so I asked the dentist to square them off. My result came out nothing like my wax up and what he and I had talked about. First, rounder than I wanted. 2nd, one is thinner than other tooth and one tooth sticks out further than the other. Dentist says they are fine. No one has perfect teeth.
