Hey guys, is it possible to get a full set of veneers for free? my husband has the worst enamel that i have ever seen and his teeth seem to be breaking and getting cavities overnight! even the day his wisdom teeth came in, they were already decaying. there is no way we could ever afford a set of veneers, so i was wondering if you guys have any advice on getting free ones. Thanks 🙂

Can the canine be reshaped to look as lateral incisor?
Monday, November 30th, 2009Q.
I am missing my upper right lateral incisor. After my orthodontic treatment with braces, the right canine will be next to my right central incisor. How can I make this look esthetically better? The canine can be bleached so it doesn’t look yellowish but can I also use porcelain veneer to make the right canine and left lateral incisor look similar? how is this done? can the canine be reshaped to look as a lateral incisor?
