Im 16 can I have venners for my missing teeth and gaps later in life

Q. Hi, I am 16 and have 2 impacted teeth and 2 missing teeth. My mouth can only fit 2 teeth. In a result I’ll have 2 missing teeth and the gaps will be closed by braces. I was wondering if in later life I could have venners to make it look like I have all of my teeth there?

A. You probably won’t need to have veneers to make it look as though you have all your teeth. Once the gaps are closed with braces, then nobody will notice that they are missing- as long as everyting looks symmetrical. Hope this makes sense. It is not uncommon for people to have teeth taken out anyway to create a straighter smile. Any concerns you have though should be discussed with the dentist who will be treating you before hand.

Hi, I was wondering what could be done about the small gap i have in between my two front teeth as well as the two chips that is in one of them. I wasalso wondering about the slight over bite I have, I don’t want braces andwas told before that i don’t need it is there anything else.
