Is there a possibility to shave the sides of canine Plz advice

Q. Hello, I’ve had surgery to expose both canines in my palette and a brace to move them forward, however the spaces aren’t large enough for them to move into the correct position. Both caninees sit in place, but behind the natural position. Is it possible to attach a false tooth (or a thick veneer?) to the front of each of the real canines rather than to have a bridge or brace? Or would it be a possibility to shave the sides of each canine and both adjacent teeth on each side to give the canines room to move forward without the removal of any upper molars and use of a brace to create space? Many thanks

A. Hi many thanks for your email there is a procedure where you can skim of the tooth tissue on the side of the teeth called IPR which can then create enough space to move the teeth into allignment. my advice is go to see a cosmetic orthodontist and ask his views on what can be achieved. hope this is helpful.

I have a huge overbite and my two front teeth are big. The teeth that follow the two front teeth are slightly under them causing them to come out and look bigger. I only have a problem with those four teeth. What do you recommend I get? And is there any way you could make my two front teeth slighty smaller so they are not so big. I would appreciate your answer. Thanks
