After Invisalign, I had minor rotations in the front and a short left lateral. My orthodontist recommended finishing in braces, and we disagreed on the placement of my central incisors. I wanted the right tipped towards the midline, and the left extruded. Instead of moving my teeth, my ortho removed the braces and contoured my teeth (without telling me or gaining consent). I I hate the results! My teeth are too rounded, don’t have symmetry, and feel too short. What would you recommend?

Answer: Bonding, Veneers or recountouring Hi:I would start with recountouring since that is the most conservative procedure. If you are still unhappy then I recommend Porcelain veneers since bonding at the edge of the tooth can chip and discolor easily.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Answer: Tooth Perfect The quest for the perfect smile and tooth shape can be difficult as the dentist and patient may have two different ideas of ideal. Definitely should have a restorative dentist work with you on the final result and communicate with them what you would like. Expect them to take models, photographs and offer temporary mock ups in filling material and possibly wax on models as this needs a little more expertise. Do not rush into veneers or crowns just yet. Take time to find the smile you want with reversible dental techniques then look at your options to make it a long lasting result! Please post pics of any treatment later, good luck.
