Cant of upper teeth, asymmetric gum line, little or no deviation of chin. What causes this? What treatments are possible?(Photo)

May 1, 2015
Asked By:deebee100 in Orlando, FL

As can be seen from the photos I have a maxillary cant (well, at least the upper teeth are canted), but there would appear to be little or no cant of the mandible, and little or deviation of the chin to the left (in addition the midlines are at different angles). Is this a regular occlusal cant, or is there something else going on? Is any surgery or orthodontistry required, or would vaneers suffice? Is this problem associated with, or likely to cause, TMJ problems?

Sarah Thompson, DMD says:

Hello Steph,Sorry to hear what's happened, but I can tell you that I would have the veneers removed because they do not look good at all.  You can ask your current dentist to redo them, if you'd like to give him another try and not spend more money, or you can possibly go elsewhere and...

I fell and broke my top two front teeth off this past Friday. Can they be fixed? (Photo)
Susan Hollinsworth, DDS (retired) says:

A 3/4 crown is not substantially different than a veneer. She is just indicating that she needs to wrap the restoration around the tooth more because of the amount that is broken. The treatment plan seems to be appropriate and the cost is fair. Veneers would not be less expensive as they...
