How to fix my canted smile? Do I get braces again or can veneers help? (photos)

July 23, 2020
Asked By:myshineyteethandme in Floridablanca, CO

My canted teeth is my biggest insecurity. The top is completely asymmetrical (the left side is larger than the right), and it leans left. While my bottom row leans left. The upper and bottom row are not even aligned. I wore braces before but did not regularly use my retainers. I also have TMJ (more prevalent on the right side of my face) which has led to also an asymmetrical jaw. What do I do? Do I get braces again? I also read veneers may fix it. Pls help! Thank you!
