After consulting with dentists it was pointed out to me each time that doing orthodontics on an adult might offer less than desired results. I am now looking into veneers, the high cost is making me wonder if its possible to only get on the teeth that bother me most? My main goal is to have a straighter smile and the front two teeth are the only ones I hate and bother me and they are the first thing people notice about me. I'm not looking for a celebrity smile just to feel normal.

Most people ask for perfection and like the right and left side to match exactly, , but no one's face/ teeth, anatomy is 100% symmetric. Having that in mind, the answer is yes, by minimal adjustments, the right side can be somewhat equalized to the left.

Definitely check back with your treating dentist. Any number of things could be the cause to this, including those mentioned already, bitting your lip in your sleep, or even a slight cut or abrasion on your lip during treatment. Lots of items going in and out of your mouth during Veneer preps...
After 4 months after your veneers were placed, they should feel as natural as your own teeth. It is NOT normal for VENEER to feels loose, sensitive when you floss and mak a popping noises. Your veneers could be failing due to an open margin or poor placement. Make an appointment...
