Can veneers fix my shifted teeth? I am very hesitant about getting veneers as I don't want to grind my teeth. Many dentists told me orthodontist treatment is not an option for me since I have a fixed bridge (3 jointed incisors). They try to convince me to get veneers 16 of them, is it my only option? are the results permanent? or will my teeth shift in the future? Please advise
Answer: Fixing shifted teeth with veneers Hi,There are 2 ways to restore your case: The first option would be a restorative option and a way of making your teeth more functional. According to your bite, yes, you have a cross bite, posterior, you have a class II on your lower right, so the best way of restoring this would be with braces, so that way you can even correct the cross bite, and make your teeth to be matching on a perfect way; this solution can be done even with your bridge, you just need to remove it and you can have temporaries while you have the orthodontic treatment. Where you have no tooth, you would not notice it, it would be attached to a bracket or glued to the braces, so you would not have a problem and you would not notice it, that way you will have a 1 year treatment, and you will correct on a more perfect way your bite. The other option is if you do not want to have braces, or wait too long then you would need to grind your teeth and perform veneers, crowns, you can change shape, size and color. You would improve a lot the way they look, both options are good, and there is no problem to perform them.

Answer: 16 veneers Veneering all those teeth would be an aggressive quick fix.You have a cross bite and a highly positioned canine that would benefit from ortho. After all your teeth are repositioned to ideal, i would recommend an implant for your missing tooth or a bridge and limit porcelain work to the front four teeth....nothing is permanent. Take good care of your dental work and natural teeth and it may last your lifetime.

Answer: Can veneers fix my shifted teeth? Many dentists (who told you that you couldn't get orthodontics with a fixed bridge) are wrong! Although most of my patients opt to get veneers instead of orthodontics (and in your case probably a new bridge), you should certainly speak with orthodontists about this instead of your general dentists who don't do orthodontic treatment.Invisalign would be one type of orthodontics that could certainly be done with you having a fixed bridge. Also, orthodontic brackets can be added onto porcelain crowns and bridges, meaning you could have traditional braces as well.My advice, speak with a couple orthodontists in your area IN ADDITION to a couple of experienced cosmetic dentists. However, do your research, make sure you see a cosmetic dentist who has had much extensive training and experience in cosmetic dentistry! As many patients sadly find out, all cosmetic dentists are not the same.

Answer: Orthodonodontics The three unit bridge in your mouth will not prevent you from orthodontics. From the look of you photos orthodontics is the way to go. I your bite is not correct then the laminates will fail and break. Please seek another opinon.

Answer: Fixing Bite with Veneers Veneers are certainly an option to partially correct your bite and improve your smile. But I would suggest orthodontics would be a better option. Your arches are extremely narrow which detracts from your smile, leaves inadequate space for your tongue position, and gives the appearance of only showing the front teeth. The bridge would have to be sectioned and a fake tooth placed by the orthodontist during treatment but widening your arches would give you a much broader and more natural looking smile and give your tongue proper space. Since you do not want to lose tooth structure required by veneer preps, this would be an added advantage. If you go with orthodontics be very committed to retainers following treatment.
