Hi, I guess I'm just looking for some professional opinions. I recently got my braces off. The main concern I had when I went to get them on was that my two front teeth looked huge compared to all the others, like bunny teeth. I was advised by my orthodontist that I wouldn't have this problem once the braces were off. Obviously this wasn't true and I am very unsatisfied because I paid a lot. I feel like they are too big, and they sort of "club" instead of being smooth. What are my options now?

Answer: Gum lift and minimal prep veneers A minor gum reshaping over the lateral incisors with two porcelain veneers on the two lateral incisors will deminish the "bunny" look of the centrals a and fill in the smile.a closer exam and X-rays would be needed to see if this conservative treatment would work for you as it has worked for so many of my patients who presented with very similar chief concerns.

Answer: Large Central incisors The two front teeth do appear to be disproportionately large. The laterals appear to be under-sized which can be common. I imagine their is healthy enamel behind the gums tissue of the laterals. Have your cosmetic dentist check the see if a gingivectomy is necessary to help with symmetry and the golden proportion (ideal smile/ tooth proportions).

Answer: How Can I Fix my Big Front Teeth? Thank you for your question. I would recommend to consider porcelain veneers. If you are happy with a color of your teeth, consider 4-6 veneers. This approach will allow your dentist to give you more uniform, beautiful smile you desire.

Answer: Combined Restorative-Orthodontic Treatment At this stage, I would definitely recommend that you consider a combined restorative-orthodontic treatment as all other orthodontists have suggested. A wax-up of your proposed final treatment should be produced, either digitally or in plaster/wax, so that you can see how the front teeth will look like at the end. Invisalign treatment (as well as other digital clear removable tray companies) option would give you an idea how the doctor would create the space on your lateral incisors (#7 and 10) so that your restorative dentist can determine how wide the future procelain veneers on those teeth should be. If you still would like to talk to your original orthodontist, please make sure that he/she is aware what your original concerns were ("big front teeth") and show him the photos to point out the teeth that bothers you. Most orthodontists want their patients to have a happy outcome, so it would not hurt to speak to him/her. Best of luck!
