Will filing down my central incisors correct the difference in length between my upper right and central incisor?

Question

Initially, I thought veneers on my lateral incisor would make sense in order to align my upper teeth in terms of length. However, does filing down my two central incisors make more sense if I wanted to reduce the difference in lengths of my upper right lateral incisors and central incisor?

Ira Shapira, DDS · Answer

You have a narrow maxilla and mandible which reshaping the teeth will not address.  You can reshape lower teeth and do cosmetic bonding on the upper teeth.

It appears you have a traumatic occlusion.  dou you get headaches or migraines? Jaw clicking?

You seem to be a perfect candidate for a DNA Appliance and Epigenetic Orthopedics.  Maxillary and mandibular expansion would ideally be done before cosmetics but if there is a rush you could do a quck reshping/ bonding for a quick improvement.
