My front teeth have started to move, should I have orthodontic treatment or replace my veneers?
Q.
I currently have two veneers on my front tooth and the tooth next but one, these were put on approx 13 yrs ago. They have lasted really well and I initially had them put on as after brace treatment these two teeth started to move. I am 43 yrs old. For the past 2 yrs, these two teeth have started to move again and are now pushing behind my other main front tooth, they look very wonky and uncomfortable. What would be the best treatment for me? An invisible brace or to have these two veneers removed and replaced and hope that stops the teeth moving. The current veneers did previously stop my teeth moving until approx 2 yrs ago.

Hi Both options may be suitable for you. We obviously need to see you in person to give you the most accurate advice. The orthodontic option might be the better option because it could mean that the veneers may not need to be replaced and is thus less ‘invasive’. The length of time involved in the orthodontics may be a factor and you should consider whether or not you’re prepared to commit to this.

If the veneers are replaced then the risk of the teeth moving again has to be considered and so some kind of retainer might be required.
I hope that helps? Next step woudl be to come and see us for a thorough examination and proper consultation or to find an experienced cosmetic dentist who can also offer you orthodontics, near to where you live or work
