My top teeth aren't very crooked but I have one tooth that is rotated. I tried invaslign a few years back but had to stop treatment because of my canker sore issue which I've been dealing with constant sores since I was a child so braces is not an option for me. Will veeners work for me? Thank you !
Answer: Multiple ways to address issue of crowding and posterior positioned tooth. Veneers not the best approach. It is possible to utilize crowns or veneers to improve cosmetics but I would suggest better approaches.

Answer: Veneers to Fix Crowded and Rotated Teeth Yes. Veneers can work to fix rotated and crowded/poorly aligned teeth. It's always healthier to align the teeth before veneers if at all possible. Your experience with Invisalign sounds super painful. If I were treating you, I would definitely be looking for underlying cause of the ulcers. I'm sure you've already done this, but a few suggestions are to stop using any toothpaste or oral products with SLS (sodium laurel sulfate), and consider a food allergy test (like ALCAT).If we could find the root cause for the ulcers, then I would recommend re-trying Invsalign or using a functional appliance (expander) to make room for that tooth to move forward. Then do some minimally invasive gum contouring and whitening...you'll probably find that your smile is right where you want it.Of course, if you feel you've exhausted your efforts with minimally-invasive dentistry, then I would find an experienced cosmetic dentist who practices minimally-invasive dentistry to use veneers to fix your smile.

Answer: Rotated tooth option Hi:If orthodontic treatment is out of the question, you most likely will need a crown and gingivectomy to recountor the gum around the rotated tooth along with multiple veneers on the rest of the upper front teeth to make it work. There is alway a possibility that you will also need a root canal on the rotated tooth depending on how much tooth structure needs to be removed.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Answer: Veneers? Yes, you can have a veneer or crown done on this tooth to make it look more esthetic. It's not going to be a typical veneer. You will need crown lengthening to raise the gum height to a normal level. This veneer is also going to be very thick and may feel odd to your tongue. Finally, if the tooth is prepared to try to bring it into a normal position you may require a root canal. If you are willing to jump through all of these hoops it will be worth the trouble.
