My orthodontist shaved what feels like too much off my front teeth, I'm trying to find the best option forward. Advice? (photos)

So I’m nearing the end of my Invisalign treatment and my orthodontist notes that my front teeth were uneven and he’d like to shave a little to even it out. I said sure as we discussed just a little bit. He then did all 6 front teeth and I now feel like they are too short and I enjoyed my full teeth better even with their imperfections. He said I would have to seek a dentist for bonding or veneers to restore the fullness of the teeth prior to shaving. What do you think is the best option?

I think you would get much better results with Bioclear than free-handed bonding. Usually there's an additional cost because it's a better option. That being said, it's your lower teeth and no one sees that when you're smiling, so it's up to you.
