Can veneers correct protruding front teeth?

Q.
Hi, I have protruding teeth at the front I just wanted to know if veneers would be able to fix this? They stick out about a cm. I can’t braces for free so I want to pay for something that can be done quicker than braces. I really do want to get something done, it really gets me down. I work in retail and feel really self conscientious about staring at me teeth. Obviuosly I would prefer the cheapest option. If you could help with your opnion on veneers and he best option for protruding teeth that would be great
thank you

If they stick out by a centimetre then this is very difficult to correct with veneers. You may have to have the teeth crowned instead and possibly root canal treated before the crowns too. This is very destructive to the teeth and can lead to long term problems. It would be much better for you to have an orthodontic correction. Have a look at the Inman aligner or Invisalign and go for a consultation with an expert in these to get good advice

How far should venners stick out from your other teeth?,

Well this depends on the alignment of your natural teeth really. If the teeth are quite pronounced they are likely to stick out further even after having veneers fitted.
