Is there anyway the top veneers can be filed or shaved down? Especially the side ones. I had great teeth before, I want them back but I know I can't now, I know it's too late. I just want these huge monstrous teeth to somehow reflect my old, original teeth. I hate how fake they look, on every pic it's all I can see. I feel depressed over it. They are huge and my whole face and mouth is just teeth! Please help.

Thank you for your question, a lot of good topics addressed here! Good thing you have been wearing a night guard for the past 10 years, that's a great habit to have!
When teeth are in malocclusion ( not coming together properly ) its not uncommon for them to wear unevenly, especially if you were...
So sorry that you have this issue! Proper planning is crucial to the success of porcelain veneers. We offer a blueprint to our patients so that things like the gum line can be addressed in the planning stages and evaluated to know if a laser gum adjustment is needed.
In my opinion, your temps look too big. Your teeth should look virtually the same as before except the spaces are closed. Right now you look too "toothy" You should tell your dentist your concerns prior to making the veneers.
