Question

i would really like to even my whole set of teeth out. i was wondering how this could be done.

Scott Young, DDS · Answer

I think you have beautiful teeth!  If I considered any minor recontouring on your teeth it would be to slightly round off your canines and shorten your central incisors.  This would be very minor and would not harm your teeth.  I don't think that you need to do veneers or braces.  Minor recontouring would make a significant difference and will be the most noninvasive way to make an improvement.  Good luck.

You have a great looking smile.  Some minor shaping of the central incisors and canines will be magical in your case, as this will give the a much closer mirror image of symmetry to the left and right side of the smile.This is done without any need for local numbing injections and when done correctly and conservatively will have no negative affects on the the enamel

I want to first say your teeth look great and I would suggest not doing anything. If you must do something the two front could be shaved down a little. That would a quick fix but would suggest getting braces to even your teeth, if you must.

A simple procedure of reshaping your teeth (coronoplasty) can reduce the length of central incisors(front teeth) and even out your teeth.

Mickey Bernstein, DDS (retired) · Answer

Agree with the other Drs that you have a beautiful smile. It is a matter of preference.. I like the length of your central incisors and the amount of teeth that shows in your smile. Personally, if the goal is to enhance your smile to even more beauty, I would like to lengthen your lateral incsiors (the shorter teeth) and round your cuspdis slightly. Easy stuff. Good luck.

Ira Shapira, DDS (in memoriam) · Answer

You front central incisors are supposed to be the same length as your canines and your lateral incisors a little shorter.  I think your smile is beautiful but if you are intent on changes it is possible to orthodontically bring your lateral incisors down a little to match lengths or to do  little bonding on 7 and 10 to give the a flatter incisal edge.If I cosiderd any treatment it would be to widen posteriors with DNA Appliance to grve a wider broader smile.That said you do have a beautiful smie you can be proud of.Dr Ira L ShapiraThinkBetterLife.com
