Asked By:hlj4576 in Dallas, TX

I got my braces off and my two front teeth were uneven because they had been shaven down over time by my bottom teeth. So I got braces for other reasons and on the day I got them off when he was shaving the cement off my teeth he started shaving my two front teeth down without asking and they are COMPLETELY uneven and he rounded the sides trying to make them look like other teeth but completely messed them up. They are already really shaven down. What can I do?

Hank D. Michael, DMD says:

I recommend finding an orthodontist (a dentist specializing in braces and moving the teeth). That is not a small gap, it's a large gap for the lower teeth. Don't even consider bonding or veneers because they will look terrible without orthodontic movement of the teeth. Your general dentist may...
