I've got a very noticeable crooked top, front tooth, it slightly overlaps the front tooth next to it, but the rest of my top teeth are fairly straight. Can a veneer be placed to make my front tooth look straight? Or is that something I absolutely need braces for..?

Answer: VENEERS ON CROOKED TEETH From what I can see in the pictures, I would not recommend " A veneer" in your particular case. First of all, it is not a good idea to do one veneer in one front tooth and not do anything on the other front tooth. It it's very hard to match one front tooth with the other one. But it can be done. But not an ideal situation .In your particular case I would recommend some kind of orthodontic treatment. Whether it is Invisalign, Six month Smile or traditional braces. You see, from an esthetic point of view, you don't have ONE crooked tooth. You have at least two crooked teeth. In addition to that, you also have some length discrepancies. And you can't resolve all these issues corrected with "ONE VENEER". In my opinion, one veneer will make the situation worse.

Answer: Can Veneers Fix My problem? Unfortunately fixing your single front tooth with a veneer is not an option. I think the better choice would be to use clear aligners (Invisalign) to correct the tooth. Hope this helps
