Off centre midline and veneers. Will they look OK or will they just look off? (photo)

Question

I have always been conscious about my teeth my dentist recommended veneers because one of my front teeth overlapped the other. Having had them shaved down and temporarily covered I can see how completley off centre my midline is. I fear when my veneers are fitted I may have a nice smile but my smile will be off centre. it's really concerning me since I've now already started the prep

Veneers are not generally going to fix a shifted midline.  The best thing in your case would be to get braces to correct your midline, then get veneers to make your teeth look 100% better.I hope this helps.Dr. Sarah Thompson

sorry but veneer will not work, and it will not improve yr smile. u r an ideal candidate for braces / aligner treatment. as u have 'V' shaped arch,  contracted arch, shifted midline, bucally placed right side canine and large buccal corridors. best option in yr case is arch expansion. damon braces is an ideal option in yr case. long term retention phase is recommended.

You are definately not an ideal veneer candidate currently. You need to move your teeth orthodontically to a better position and then you can consider veneers. Doing veneers now is not a good decision. If you have already started the process that is a problem. You can have the veneers placed but understand that the results will not be ideal. A second option is to wear the temporaries during orthodontic treatment and then have the final restorations made.
