are veneers safe for a vampire tooth and crooked teeth

Saturday, July 26th, 2008
Q.
Hi….I hate my teeth. They are not HORRIBLE but I have one teeth on top that looks like a vampire tooth! And my front 2 main teeth are a LITTLE crooked. I was thinking about getting braces. I am 20. Is that the safest thing to do? I have looked into veeners and bonding – dont know much about them. I dont know how safe veeners and bonding are. So my best bet right now is braces. Or so I think? Also, I dont have dental insurance would you know what type would be the best one to get which covers braces and regular checkups – exrays, fillings, cavity??? ( one that will work in FL and NC, or NC ) ???? p.s. help =-/ Thank You!
