I recently completed orthodontic treatment for crowding/crossbite. During treatment, they extracted 2 upper premolars. The plan was to do this & continue with jaw surgery. I moved and saw a new ortho who thought the extractions were a mistake and I didn't need surgery. I already had a small smile and the extractions affected my face. My smile is narrow, my upper lip droops into a downward "V", and I have developed under-eye bags from the lack of arch support.Can veneers help with reversing this?

Answer: No-Prep Veneers: Excellent Option to Restore Youthful Smile after Orthodontic Premolar Extractions
No-Prep Veneers used to get a bad rap for being bulky and fake-looking...but with the latest technology, no-prep veneers (ike DURAthins) are an excellent treatment solution for you (and many others who had extractions with orthodontics). When you have extractions with braces, the smile gets pulled in and back - resulting in a collapsed smile and thin lips. We can broaden the smile (and plump your lips) using no-prep veneers. If you want, you can e-mail me your photos (susanestep@gmail.com) and I'll do a consultation over e-mail to discuss your specific options.

Answer: Veneers CAN Fix a Narrow Arch Smile!
Yes! Dental Veneers can bring out your smile and make your smile look more "Hollywood". Many people with narrow arches/smiles have the same concerns you do. Often times a conservative type of veneer like a "lumineer" can be used to create the look you are after. By adding volume to the fronts of your teeth it changes the way the angles look so the teeth appear more "straight". And at the same time it pushes out, if you will, the soft tissues, creating more support. Some cosmetic dentists refer to this as a dental facelift. It appearst that you are a great candidate from your pictures. I would encourage you to look around the site at pictures of people that have had veneers.
Best of Luck!
