Porcelain veneers to correct splayed lateral incisors? (Photos)

Question

I am generally happy with my smile and have no issues with my bite, but I have always disliked the way my lateral incisor teeth on my upper jaw splay out to the sides. I know orthodontic aligners are an option, but time and cost makes them unappealing. Would porcelain veneers be able to make these teeth look straight?

Hello. Despite orthodontics is the less invasive way, it requires time. Porcelain veneers can be a better option for a faster and aesthetic solution.

Hello, my name is Dr Tyler Hales and I am a cosmetic Dentist in South Orange County, California. Veneers are an option to correct the positioning of those teeth. The thing about it is we need to create more space so that those teeth don't appear too small.That menas doing anywhere from 4-10 veneers on top. The back teeth are a bit angled in which created that shadow in the back and we want to showcase a more fuller smile and also more space for the front teeth. Let me know if you have any questions.
