Would veneers mask a canted occlusal plane? (photos)

Question

I had a consultation with an oral surgeon and he recommended a BSSO for my asymmetric mandible which I am ok with undergoing. He also recommended a genioplasty which I kind of expected. For my canted occlusal plane, he recommended a Le Fort I osteotomy which I’m scared of undergoing as the healing will take a long time. I was hoping the cant can be fixed with TADs but my orthodontist said it’s not possible for my case. Would cosmetic veneers hide the cant? Any other options?

You have a narrow maxilla that leave dark buccal corridors, deep nasal labial grooves, Gummy smile and more.I would  RX the DNA Appliance which can non-surgically correct all of these issues including the cant.

Thank you for enquiring. You have a midline dental discrepancy that can be corrected with surgery of fixed braces.The upper gum is quite visible and surgery can reposition the upper jaw upwards masking most of the gum area.The cant is not that noticeable and may even improve after surgery. Veneers can then alter the lengths of the teeth to mask the cant.
