Hi Harmony. Having a tilted tooth that is inclined palatally (inwards) is easily brought forward with a veneer. Orthodontics (moving teeth with braces) is a logical way of correcting your condition and you may want to seek the advice of an orthodontist. Patients that couldn't be bothered with braces, usually consider veneers in such circumstances. The procedure involves two clinical appointments (following your first visit). Placing a veneer on such a tooth will result in a thicker tooth. The front view will appear in alignment with the rest of your teeth, however the back of your tooth will stay in the same position. Your gum around the tilted tooth may be at a lower level than the rest of your teeth at present. We need to take this into consideration when we prepare for a veneer. Occasionally the gum is surgically recontoured to bring it to the same height before we start. Your lip will feel a little out of place for a week or two, after cementation of the veneer. This is normal. Regards Michael Teiniker. |
