My front teeth are crowded and protrude but due to short roots i have been advised against braces, any advice?

Q.
Hello sir, i have very short roots on my front two teeth and have accordingly been advised against getting braces. My front teeth are slightly crowded, protruding by about 3.5mm. I am wondering about getting veneers to slightly reduce this, as i am an actor and aesthetics are very important to me. I have read of new dentin bonding technologies that allow veneers to correct such a problem, and was just wondering if you thought this was a wise idea. Any advise would be greatly appreciated- thanks alot

Yes dental bonding or veneers with porcelain may offer you a solution. it’s very difficult to give you an accurate assessment without examining you so you should consider seeing a good local cosmetic dentist for advice. I’d also make sure you get a second orthodontic opinion from a specialist orthodontist. A third alternative might be crowns or in extreme cases, removal of the teeth and replacement with implants. An experienced cosmetic dentist would give you good advice so book a consultation
