How Should I Deal With My Protruding Canines And Small Laterals?

Q.
Hello I was wondering what could be done about my canines because they stick out and also my laterals because there smaller than my other teeth , like there not the same size. My laterals are small and when I smile I feel very embarrassed. I also wanted to know if I get my teeth whitened is it a long term thing or will they turn yellow again? The rest of my teeth are the same length accept my laterals and they look
odd I’m 16 years old and having a nice smile would mean a lot to me. I cant smile without feeling ashamed of my teeth. So it’s affecting my confidence really badly and at the minute being a teenager it’s becoming a bit too much of an issue to just ignore.

Hi thanks for your question, confidence with your teeth is a big thing and believe me you are not alone. Treatment-wise, cosmetic bonding can be done to help with the shape issue,

tooth whitening will fade after a while but your teeth will always be whiter than they were. However you can usually top up the whitening procedure periodically to keep them really white.
