My upper teeth don't show when smiling and talking. Would veneers help? (photos)

Question

When i smile my upper teeth show a little and when i talk my upper teeth don't appear at all. What is the solution and can veneers help my problem and is it worth it?

Scott Young, DDS · Answer

You would be a candidate for porcelain veneers.  You could also consider doing Invisalign to straighten them and then see if you show more tooth structure.  Either way will work.  Good luck.

I would definitely recommend veneers for your case.  They would improve your smile immensely.  It's unlikely that surgery will help your teeth show more when you talk. I hope this helps.

Hi there! Porcelain veneers could definitely help make your teeth stand out more when you smile. Porcelain veneers are great to help improve the shape, size, and length of your teeth, as well as the color if that's something you were interested in. Make sure you do your research and find a dentist who is very experienced with cosmetic treatment. Look at a lot of before/after photos! Hope this helps.

as your smile is flat and not following lower lip, one of the reason is flared teeth. so best option in yr case is make yr smile consonant [follow lower lip] by braces / invisalign treatment and later smile improvement by porcelain veneers.

I would do clear aligner therapy first followed by Kor whitening.  I am sure you would be happy with this treatment.  Veneers would remain an option later if you wanted more cosmetic benefit.

Veneers help improve the size, shape and color of the teeth. In your case, veneers could be beneficial.

Lance Timmerman, DMD, MAGD - Account Suspended · Answer

Everyone has a preference for how much shows when smiling.  Some people show SOME teeth, some show ALL of their teeth, and some show all of their teeth and some gum tissues.  Porcelain veneers can help in all of these cases, but some cases require more than JUST veneers.  Find a dentist that can show their previous cases like yours and you can decide if that is what you want.
