Teeth are moving after veneers. What are my options now? (Photo)

Question

I am a 60 year old woman and I've never had any orthodontic treatment and my teeth were straight. A year ago I had 6 upper and 6 lower porcelain veneers done. In about 9 months my teeth started to move so now I have a visible gap between my 2 front teeth and they're still moving - the gap is getting bigger. The other teeth don't move and I didn't have any extractions. What could be the reason? What are my options now?

If your teeth are moving after getting porcelain veneers, it's important to consult with your dentist or an orthodontist for an evaluation. Possible causes might include age-related changes, the impact of veneers on dental stability, oral health issues, or improper alignment of the veneers. Treatment options could involve adjusting or replacing the veneers, orthodontic treatment with clear aligners, and using retainers to maintain teeth position. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are also crucial.

Hello. Unfortunately your crowns need to be re-made due to orthodontic movement of supporting teeth. Also possibility of periodontal disease should be eliminated which also may be another cause of movement of teeth

This gap has no relation with crowns. This may be because of bruxism or periodontal disease of your gums. We should plan treatment according to the reason of this situation. If you have a periodontal problem, first of all, you have to get periodontal treatment. If the reason is bruxism, you should use mouth guard for protection.
