Can my smile be fixed with veneers? (Photo)

Question

I do not want to undergo ortho treatment - would veneers fix my teeth? As shown with red lines, my teeth are slanted vertically(are not perpendicular to my lips), and my smile line is asymmetric-my teeth, while same-sized, are set higher on the right side. If my gums were to be cut on the left side, and teeth made longer on the right, would I be able to achieve an even smile? Would that look aesthetic since my gums already barely show when I smile wide?

Ira Shapira, DDS · Answer

You have Deep nasal labial grooves and an asymmetric smile line.

It is possible to do a reconstruction without orthodontics but ideally I would suggest with orthopedic correction with the DNA Appliance.

If you have headaches, migraines, neck pain, sinus issues, TMJ Disorders I would definitively tell you to proceed with great caution and start treatment with a Diagnostic Neuromuscular Orthotic.
My practice is to correct health issues prior to cosmetic changes to teeth.

You asked about fixing your smile which is an effect of the entire face, not just the teeth.

David Redford, DMD · Answer

This is a tough one! It's difficult to answer fully without seeing you in person. However, my recommendation based on photos would be to at least consult with an Orthodontist prior to jumping into veneers. If your bite is off, and you get veneers, you'd most likely either pop your veneers off, or even fracture them. Veneers are very fragile, and if your bite is off, they will most likely not stay on.

German Arzate, DDS - Account Suspended · Answer

you have two options,the best one is to do braces and to bring that bite to a correct position,the situation is that at the end you will have a good oclusion,but you will still have the same teeth,with the same shape,size and color,and it will take up to 1 year aprox.now if you do not want to have braces or having braces is not part of your plans,

you can have a different alternative solution,which is Smilemakeover,where you will be having a full mouth change  in just a couple of days and change your life!,and you will certainly will have also good results with several techniques involved,and you will be changing shape,size and color.
