Veneers look too bulky and made my overbite worse, what can I do? (photos)

Question

So i got veneers after having braces for like 8 years of my life. Before i started my treatment i had a huge gap on my bottom teeth and it was a result of a missing tooth my ortho decided to just close the gaps which caused an over bite. FAST FORWARD he ended up created spaces and said to get cosmetic treatment.I ended up getting composite veneers and now my overbite is very noticeable i hate my smile and my veneers look really fake. Whats the best option for me? should i remove my veneers?

If you do not like the veneers, unfortunately they need to be replaced. You chose a very white color with no translucency, which make your teeth appear bigger. Since you have composite veneer, there could be some adjustments done, try that with your dentist if he is comfortable doing that. If it was a porcelain veneers you can not adjust the thickness! Also note the preparation of your teeth and the expertise of the ceramist has lots to do with final outcome.Best of luck

I think the result is beautiful. I would honestly suggest you give it a couple of months before deciding to change anything. It's such a drastic change from what you had that it may take some time to get used to this new look. They look fake to you because of the stark difference from what your teeth looked like before. That being said, porcelain veneers can be made to look more natural than composite veneers if you wanted to replace them. But removing them will depend on how much tooth structure was affected by placing the veneers. It may be that you can't go back to not having veneers if tooth structure was removed to place the veneers.

Cosmetic dentistry is art.  The case is nicely done but looks very opaque that makes the teeth look larger.  To be very white it is often necessary to be more opaque and thicjker.Veneers done with reduction would give a nicer effect and look more lifelike.
