What treatments would give me a better smile? (Photos)

Thanks for the great question, I can see your concern and agree that expanding your arch would improve your smile. I can also understand not wanting to shave down your teeth to achieve these results. I have some options that can help! Your back teeth are the cause of your arch looking narrow AND believe it or not your front teeth cause this perception also! Your back teeth tip inward and your front teeth flare outward. With orthodontics, we can correct your tooth position which will provide the appearance of a more appealing archform. When we have the teeth in a great position lightening your tooth color can be achieved in a few ways. First could be simply dental whitening, the least invasive and easiest. The next could be composite veneers which can change the color and appearance with minimal to no tooth structure removal. The last is porcelain veneers, the most esthetic and longest lasting outcome which often requires a very conservative amount of tooth modification. You have some great options! I look forward to meeting you in person so we can choose a plan that fits your goals.

Hello, as far as I see, your buccal corridor is narrow and in this case you feel the need to expand the teeth. In order to ensure that your teeth can have a wider smile line without any tooth cutting, there is a high probability that there will be overcontoured restorations in the prostheses to be made in order to have a wider smile line, and it may be necessary to make minimal preperation from the teeth to prevent this.If you have only the upper jaw, it may not meet your aesthetic expectations because the color of the lower teeth will have to be matched because you want white teeth and your lower teeth are not white.
