Q.
Hi Doctor, A few years ago I had a ostiotomy on my lower jaw bring the jaw fowards so my lower front teeth were up against my upper front teeth which gave a much better side on profile and better smile. However, this has resulted in my lower front teeth being rather prominent and so I am contemplating adding veneer to the upper front teeth to compensate because I don’t think they are long enough. How do you decide how long front teeth should be in comparison with lower ones ? I know each case is different but my upper front teeth are not perfectly straight so I don’t want to make a big mistake. Advice would be welcome..
