Hello! Is it possible to "shift" the width from one side of a tooth to another using veneers and shaving? I have a gap on my teeth that would most favorably be closed to my aesthetic preferences if one could simply move a .5-1mm from one side to another of each tooth. I have no knowledge of whether this is even in the realm of feasible or not, so thought I should check to save myself the embarrassment before I bring it up to my cosmetic dentist.
