After not wearing my retainers since high school, my lateral incisors have shifted and now flare out. My dentist suggested whitening and veneers for the 2 teeth due to the likely hood that they would shift again over time. Are they too flared for veneers? Even if I did straighten them back, I was considering veneers anyway due to some discoloration in the right tooth. Also, I would prefer not to go orthodontics due to working in a corporate environment. Thoughts?
Answer: Invisalign and veneers #DrSoftTouch I would give you two options. The first option would include moving your teeth into a more ideal position with Invisalign, then veneering both lateral incisors. This would require less tooth preparation but would take at least 6 months and would require you to wear a retainer to prevent your teeth from relapsing. The second option, which I think would be the best option for you based on the information you provided, would be skipping Invisalign altogether and placing veneers on your lateral incisors. This option would require more tooth preparation but would give you instant results. I would recommend that you see an experienced cosmetic dentist to discuss your options. I hope this helps.

Answer: Veneers vs. orthodontic treatment Hi:The main challenge in your case is that can your right lateral tooth be prepared enough in order to put into the right position without nerve damage. If so, veneers can be a very quick option otherwise, orthodontic treatment would be a better choice.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Answer: Whitening and Veneers an ideal solution might be clear braces such as Clear Correct to move the teeth in place over abut a six month period. The tooth on the upper right may need more of a full ceramic crown in order to get the desired appearance with the possibility the nerve in the tooth may be involved. I would recommend whitening prior to the veneers in order to get the best result.
