How many eMax veneers do I need: 4 or 6? (photos)

Question

Aloha Everyone, I am wanting to get veneers done and I wanted to know if I should get 6 on the top or 4 to what is recommended for all the research I looking up. I did have braces done which I had tooth pulled from the top my 2 wisdoms and 2 bicuspids. I dont have a wide smile but all 6 shows when I do smile molar only shows if I force a wide smile. And the color Im going for is BL1 but all in all how many would I need 4 or 6.

Aloha!
In making your final decision, I recommend that you consider the following things:1. Your natural canines don't match. The canine on your right side has a youthful, pointy cusp. The canine on your left side has been blunted / flattened. If you want these to match, you may want to consider doing all 6 veneers.2. You are requesting BL1 shade. Maintaining a bright BL1 on your natural teeth to match your veneers can be difficult. Considering that your front 6 teeth make up the majority of your smile, any transition from the BL1 shade of the veneers to a differing shade of your posterior natural teeth will be less obvious.3. Doing 6 veneers makes it much easier for your dentist and lab to achieve ideal proportions.
I hope this helps!

I would recommend 4 or 8. If you already don't show the back teeth than doing 6 veneers will make that worse. I have never done 6 veneer for that reason. You may want more fullness in the back and that would get way better results by doing 8-10 veneers.

Hello. Including six teeth can be better to keep proportions in a nore ideal way. I recommend 6 veneers.
