I am a dancer and want veneers do my teeth need to be straight?

Q. Hello, As an exprofessional dancer my smile has bothered me for many years. I have had various treatments as a child to align my teeth and endless braces, but due to going abroad never finished my treatment. Now 40 and unable to look in the mirror without feeling low about my smile,I really do want do something about it. I would like to enquire about dental veneers but I am not sure if your teeth have to be straight to have this treatment. Would appreciate any information you can give me on what I could do to improve my smile and confidence. Many thanks.

A. In an ideal world an invisible brace would be used to realign your teeth followed by veneers.  However veneers can be used on crowded teeth although you need to be aware that the teeth need to be heavily trimmed and they may require the nerve removed.  I have done many cases as you can see from my website utilizing both techniques
