Q. i have two top teeth in front sticking out but mostly the left middle tooth. My smile curves to the left. Its clear, my smile is not aligned~ I feel my mouth now looks like a beaver and my smile lines are now hollow. I was told if your upper mouth gets flatter, you tend to look older. Yet i feel the opposite! Lumineer was one dentists idea, but ppl are telling me braces are the answer. BUT i am afraid getting the braces will make my mouth stick out more now!! And i’ll have to suffer for 2 yrs…Yet, lumineers arent safe as far as grinding, etc. What option would you recommend?? I NEED REAL HELP!!! thanks!
A. Its difficult to give you exact answers without seeing you, but if you are happy with your teeth i would recommend orthodontics to straighten your teeth. Invisalign is a great way to straighten your teeth and can take beteween 6-24 months depending on the severity of your teeth. The main advantage of this is that your natural teeth are preserved. If you are still unhappy after the orthodontics you could have veneers. With invisalign treatment you can preview the finished look of your teeth before you start so you can ensure you can be happy with the final result.
I hope this helps
