Despite having had braces for 2 years and consistently wearing a retainer, I do not like the appearance of my two front teeth. I feel as though they look too large and spread apart. Would veneers be suitable?

Answer: Porcelain veneers I agree with you as far as your two front teeth are too large in comparison to the rest of your teeth. I would look into lumineers. lumineers are no prep veneers. Cosmetic dentist can make the two front teeth l smaller and more narrow and make your laterals a little larger, so your teeth are more in harmony and match in size.. good luck

Answer: Two front veneers? Thanks for posting the picture. I do see where your front teeth are splaying out. I don't think veneers or recontouring are the answer. I suggest you visit your orthodontist and discuss the possibility that you may have a tongue thrust. This occurs when you swallow, your tongue moves forward instead of to the roof of your mouth. If you don't correct the tongue thrust nothing will stay stable. You don't mention what your teeth looked like before you got braces. Were they open in the front or splayed as they are now? Discuss your concerns with your orthodontist. Veneers are definately not the best answer for this situation.
