Q. Hi Doctor, A few years ago I had a ostiotomy on my lower jaw bring the jaw fowards so my lower front teeth were up against my upper front teeth which gave a much better side on profile and better smile. However, this has resulted in my lower front teeth being rather prominent and so I am contemplating adding veneer to the upper front teeth to compensate because I don’t think they are long enough. How do you decide how long front teeth should be in comparison with lower ones ? I know each case is different but my upper front teeth are not perfectly straight so I don’t want to make a big mistake. Advice would be welcome..
A. It really depends on how much of your upper teeth you show at rest and when you smile. You may need veneers but you may be able to have a quick fix with braces fixed to the inside of your teeth. Please contact my surgery for a consultation
