n improve the look but it is also possible to grow your maxilla with epigenetic orthodontics and the DNA Appliance.  Veneers is an instant effect.Start with provisions and make sure you like the look before altering teeth.  You dentist will need to do a diagnostic wax-up for a trial insertion.This can help insure you are happy with final results prior to beginning treatment.

I would recommend consulting a plastic surgeon specializing in facial plastics.  Unfortunately, veneers would do very little in improving your smile.  Try not to be so depressed about your smile, it could be a lot worse.    Good luck and I hope this helps. Follow me if you have more questions.Sarah Thompson, DMDReal Self 100

Dear Sania,If your teeth are positioned very high in the arch, laminates may not give you the desired look. A surgery to lower your upper jaw can give you the desired look. However, what suits you the best can be decided only after a proper clinical and radiological examination.Consult a good Maxillo-Facial Surgeon in your area.Good look.
