The triangle gap at the incisal edges are not uncommon. Depending on how the lower teeth are located in relation to this, the triangle may look more obvious. Also some people have smaller laterals than normal size. The incisal edges should not be completely straight as it will make the teeth to look like chicklet teeth. Perhaps doing a little bonding at the distal edge of the laterals to see if it will improve. If you are pleased with the bonding treatment, porcelain veneers are the better option for the long run. However, I personally thinks that you have a beautiful smile and it is probably better not to touch the healthy teeth.Hope this helps you.
