Weird/bulky veneers with giant canine - what's off?

Question

I recently had emax veneers put in and I am unhappy with the result. My right canine sticks way out and I now have an overbite. I am going back to the dentist to voice my concerns. I can't pinpoint exactly what else is off. Can you help? (also, please ignore the left front tooth. That is a temp still as the final came in damaged). Thank you in advance.

Hello, my name is Dr Tyler Hales. I am a cosmetic Dentist in Orange County, California. The canine is pushed too far out and too long. You can see how it rests on the lip and it shouldn't when you smile. Your canines are quite a bit longer than your two front teeth also which creates a bit of reverse smile. I'm guessing the far right picture is your temporaries?
