Uneven shaped teeth needs to be analysed for the correct treatment.

Q. Between the ages of 17 – 19 I had traditional braces. I am now 29 and find that my teeth have relapsed over time as my dentist warned they might. I wear a nightly retainer (which is a replacement if one I had and broke) but my teeth aren’t as they were when I first had my brace removed. The main issues are: a small ‘Madonnaesque’ gap between my front two teeth and the teeth wither side of those are rather short. I was wondering between veneers, invisalign and lumineers what I could consider to correct the problem. I want something that will completely close the gap without too much damage to my teeth which are white and in very good condition.

A. If the teeth are poorly shaped veneers will be the best option – lumineers are just a branded veneer.If the teeth are a nice shape then I wold recommend another brace ( may be invisalign or lingual braces) .  Once the teeth are in a good position then I would recommend a fixed retainer – V loop retainer allows you to floss your teeth and holds the teeth in their corredt position

my both canine teeth is bit downer in level than other front teeth in row, what possible treatemtn should be for this to make them look bit up in level, i don’t wish braces, if veneer or root canal and crowning can help them look even, please suggest!
With regards!
