Can I get veneers or some form of cosmetic dentistry to fix my canine tooth? (Photo)

Question

protruding canine tooth, I am aware that the rest of my teeth are not completely straight but I can live with them. It is the one canine tooth that I cannot stand, it makes me so self conscious. I really want it fixed and metal braces aren’t really an option for me. Please tell me there is an alternative!?

Kathy Frazar, DDS, FAGD · Answer

Invisalign or Clear Correct may be an option.  These products are both clear aligners and work like braces.  It looks like the canine may be out a bit and the smaller tooth in from tof it is in too far.  This will all straighten into a beautiful smile!

Scott Young, DDS · Answer

Orthodontics really is the best option for you.  If you do not want to consider braces, then check with an orthodontist to see if you are a candidate for Invisalign.  Bonding will not look good in your case.

Hi:Your best option is invisalign to move your tooth into proper place.  You would need more than one veneer to improve the position of your canine, which can also lead to root canal.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Michael D. Kosdon, DDS · Answer

You're an excellent candidate for cosmetic dentistry! 
Based on your pictures, I would recommend either Invisalign or porcelain veneers. Both procedures can help your smile, however veneers can also whiten the color.
It looks as if your canine on your right side pops out, but the lateral incisor next to it also slants inward, making it look more pronounced.  
Some factors to consider in your decision are time and how disciplined you are. With Invisalign, the treatment will probably take a year to complete, and you'll have to wear retainers for the rest of your life. Veneers are done in 2 visits, and you don't have to worry about the teeth moving back!

Emery Cole, DMD, FAGD · Answer

Your issue appears to be due to a "positional" problem which arises due to the position of not just one tooth but of several.  I would recommend an orthodontic consult and spend your money wisely as a single veneer may do very little to improve your single tooth position.
