I am trying to imagine that dentist thinking that extending your teeth out that far will look in any way normal if that gap is as large as I’m picturing. I wish I had a picture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will say that dentists who suggest Lumineers<\/a> are not usually in the top tier of cosmetic dentists. That particular brand of porcelain veneers is often marketed to inexperienced cosmetic dentists as being easy to place. The type of cosmetic case you are describing is very advanced and would take the best of the best in cosmetic dentists. I wouldn’t let anyone except an AACD accredited dentist touch that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, that doesn’t mean you’ll have to have traditional metal and wire brackets. Orthodontics have come a LONG way. These days, you can get Invisalign.<\/a> Instead of wires and brackets, they use clear aligners. These are invisible even at a conversational distance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will allow you to straighten your teeth without anyone noticing. If you want, the aligners can even double as teeth whitening<\/a> trays which allows you to straighten and whiten your teeth at the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It looks to me like you need to seek out a third dentist if the one who suggested orthodontics didn’t offer Invisalign, unless there is something else about your bite that wasn’t mentioned. If it is a simple matter of a gap then it is the perfect solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
