18 years old 2 front teeth stick out and they are chipped and I have gaps what would a new smile cost?

Q. hello dr Riten patel, i am 18 years old and i have disliked my teeth since i was younger. my upper two front teeth stick out from the rest and also from an accdent a couple of years ago i had one of them repaired as i chipped the corner of it. i also have a space imbetween them i would really love a new smile to even out my teeth and was wondering what advice you could give me. i have thought about getting porcelain veneers and wondering if you could give me an estimate on what sort of cost i would be looking at thankyou.

A. Dear Susan
There are some wonderful ways to improve your smile and make your teeth more even. The first option would be orthodontics, I generally use invisible orthodontics such as Invisalign which would straighten all your teeth and improve your smile. Orthodontics can not change the shape , length or colour of your teeth but will help align them. Porcelain veneers are a beautiful way to give you the smile you have always wanted we can alter all aspects of your teeth. However, as you say your teeth stick out i would really need to see your teeth as i think a combined approach of orthodontics followed by porcelain veneers would probably be the best cosmetic and long lasting option. Costings vary on each individual I would be happy to see you give a full breakdown and evaluation.
I Hope This Helps
