Veneers for wide teeth? (Photo)

Question

Hello I'm planning to get my teeth the porcelain veneers since I did out braces twice in my life one for 3 years an the second time for a year but after both times nothing has changes and my teeth still look bad but I already have big wide teeth I'm not really sure what to do to fix them that why I'm here to ask for help !

Ira Shapira, DDS · Answer

The orthodontics you had moved the teeth rather than widening your upper jaw. It would be possible to utilize a DNA Appliance to widen your jaw and bring your front teeth back so they don't look so large.If you want to do veneers you will need to do substantial reduction on the front two teeth to correct position and create a proper size relation to the lateral incisors.  Doing 4 teeth will allow better proportion but with your narrow posteriors you might want to consider extending to 8 teeth.$ teeth or 8 teeth would probably give better results than doing 6 teeth.

In my opinion there are two options:1.  Have an orthodontist widen the upper arch and do another round of braces.2.  Have 8 porcelain veneers placed by an experienced cosmetic dentist to correct the height/width ratio of your teeth.  Either of these options would give you a great result.  Good luck.
