Can braces lenghthen my teeth?

Q. Hi, My 2 front teeth are longer than the rest. I have quite small teeth and my gums are not visable when I smile. I dont want to get veneers. Would braces be able to lenghten my teeth??,
A. It is normal for your front teeth to be longer than the rest. Braces won’t lengthen your teeth they would only straighten them. I would avise a consultation with a cosmetic dentist.

I would like to know the price for dental vaneers per tooth, as I was considering getting my front two teeth done. A few years back I fell over and mytooth fell out, but they placed it back in, they are discoloured, and I amunable to get braces becAuse the tooth has been placed back. What would bethr best treatment for this?
