Would it be worth getting two veneers next to my front teeth to have a slightly straighter smile? (photo)

Question

I had braces many years ago but my retainer broke. After getting a new one unfortunately they haven't stayed very straight (still an improvement compared to how they used to be) my mother has just had one veneer on a tooth that goes in and it looks great. wondering if it would be worth getting two next to my front teeth to have a slightly straighter smile? My mouth was overcrowded and I had 4 teeth out. I'm just after something to make a difference to the two teeth that are further back.

Hello there,You can certainly have your two lateral incisors veneered.  It is very important to choose the right cosmetic dentist, so that the shape, color and shade of your veneers is an exact match to your neighboring teeth.  Be sure that the dentist you choose has plenty of before and after photos of his or her actual patients. They will give you a good idea about what you can expect.  Good luck and I hope this helps.

Hi:To improve the alignment of the two side front teeth, veneer is a appropriate quick option.  However, to align the crowding and make your upper teeth more symetrical I would suggest orthodontic treatment.  Best of luck.

Yes placing porcelain veneers on your two lateral will improve your symmetry and smile.  Also, I feel that your two front veneers are too large in comparison to your other teeth, I would have your dentist recontour them.  Good luck.

If your only concern is the two lateral incisors that are retroclined, then porcelain veneers is a great option. It will help in making your smile more symmetrical and give you a great cosmetic result. If you are interested in improving the alignment of your teeth and correct the crowding, then you might want to consider Invisalign. Keep in mind that Invisalign does take approx 12 months to complete.Good luck.
