I had worn braces and had got teeth aligned. But after few years my midline shifted to one side and there is also a small gap. I do not want to go for braces again. What are my options, crowns or veneers?

Answer: Crowns are too aggressive for your case The best thing to do is to move your natural, healthy teeth back to their proper position. Would you consider Invisalign, clear aligner therapy. These aligners have many advantages over traditional braces?You could do minimal prep veneers which could allow the lateral incisors to be made more proportional and keep from making the Central incisors from looking too big when the space is closed. Veneer therapy is going to cost a lot more than Invisalign because you would have to treat more than just the two teeth you are thinking need help. If you just treat the two front teeth it will look un-natural and out of proper proportion.

Answer: Crown or veneer? Thanks for posting the pictures. Your case should be able to be done with veneers. Crowns require more aggressive tooth structure removal that doesn't appear necessary in you case. Good luck!
