I am trying to figure out what to do about my teeth. I have two front teeth which are quite large. Too large for my mouth and it makes me look a bit like a beaver. I would like to have a pretty smile. Do you have a recommendation for someone in my position? Is it even possible to make them look better?

Dear Mary,
You can certainly get a beautiful smile, even with your two front teeth feeling too big to you. There is a way your teeth can be trimmed. It would need to be done carefully by an expert cosmetic dentist. Then, the teeth can be placed into a proper position using Invisalign. These are clear aligners that can straighten your teeth without anyone even knowing that you are straightening your teeth. They are invisible even at a conversational distance.
If a lot of the structure is removed, then you will want something like porcelain veneers to cover any exposed dentin. I don’t know for sure that it would be necessary, but I wanted you aware that it is a possibility.
It will be important that you see an expert cosmetic dentist to have this done. You don’t want to end up in a worse situation than you started in. If you do end up needing porcelain veneers, then there is an upside to all of this. Veneers are the top of the line in smile makeovers. they can change the shape size, and color of your teeth.
