Can teeth with veneers and crowns be straightened?

Q. Hello, Would really appreciate some advice as I live outside of the UK. I’ve had rather alot of work done on my teeth. I used to wear a wire brace when I was younger to bring in my eye teeth. (UK) Since then I had lost a tooth on my upper right, 2nd back from my eye tooth. As a result I have a gap which isn’t too noticable but my centre line from my front teeth and teeth next to the gap have moved to the right an slightly in the way. On my upper left, I have had crowns and a bridge as a result of my molars breaking from previous grinding.(Belgium). I also had lovely porcelain veneers on my upper front 6 teeth about 10 years ago (in UK). I’m now in the process of getting old mercury fillings replace to white porcelain inlays here in Belgium. I have slightly larger than average teeth but not unsightly. I’m still unhappy with my smile as I find that they are going more to the right, off centre and the upper front left 3 teeth are slightly more buck teeth than the left due the gap on the right. I feel this could be sorted out with the 6 month smile..? Or some kind of brace..? Even though my dentist thinks they look great..but knows they are off centre but won’t offer any solution. I feel after the birth of each of my 3 sons births during the last 5 years, my teeth have got more off centre and buck on the left! With all of the above, my question is can teeth with veneers, crowns, still be straightened without tension that would ruin the veneers. My confidence has been down re my smile for years.. Please just let me know it’s possible without redoing everything again?!!,
A. You will need to consult a dentist to get a second opinion and have a full examination with a treatment plan outlining the least invaisive way forward.Kind regardsDr Justin Glaisterwww.umbrellasmiles.com
