Hi there, im planning on fixing my smile but I have smaller teeth beside my front two teeth. I am planning on investing in braces because I do have a small gap beside the two from teeth and my peg laterals. As well as crooked bottom teeth. I also have sharp canine teeth. Im just wondering would braces make my gap look bigger? As well, would braces fix the problem and my smile be okay. Or will I need veneers to help with my peg laterals. As well as would veneers be the better option over braces?
