I have adjusted my temporary veneers twice. The second time I shortened them but now everyone tells me they are too short. Now I want to lengthen them a bit again. In the end I just want nice size teeth, with some depth, not all straight or denture like,that are not wide nor square just a very feminine smile. This whole process has been so nerve wracking,.
