Can Porcelain Veneers Mask an Occlusal Cant?

austintx1992
I just had orthodontic treatment which included braces on my upper and lower teeth. The braces are removed and I now wear holly retainers. One of my hopes was to mask an upper occlusal cant. The orthodontist did the best he could, but the cant remains conspicuous and makes my smile look very asymmetrical. I was interested in getting porcelain veneers anyway due to my teeth being worn down, and I was curious if veneers can be applied to mask an occlusal cant. Is this possible? Thanks!
