How do I fix my small lateral incisors and get even teeth? (Photos)

Question

I have had invisalign in the past but due to my dog eating my retainers and the cost of replacement I was unable to finish. I am hoping to start invisalign again but noticed with my last treatment my teeth were lacking the evenness I desired. I also still have the attatchments from my last treatment

If you have completed your orthodontic or invisalign, and you do not like the shape of your tooth or teeth, then basically you can have dental bond or porcelain veneers done, to reshape the individual tooth. You might want to have a waxup done prior to having the bonding, or veneer procedure.The dental bond will not be as strong as porcelain veneers. After your bite analysis and visiting a cosmetic dentist near you, you might be a candidate for lumineers or no prep veneer, to make the tooth look larger.

Ira Shapira, DDS · Answer

The real problem is your narrow  V-shaped maxilla that makes the Centrals stand out and makes laterals look smaller.  Also creates dark buccal corridors as is associated with small airway and other issues.I suggest leaving incisors alone and using DNA Appliance to three dimensionally expand to create a full wide health smile.Forget Invisalign, think Epigentic Orthopedics / orthodontics

Hi:My suggestion is to improve the size of the laterals by placing porcelain veneers and striagten out the teeth with invisialign.Best,Dr. Maddahi
