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: 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.
