After: Demonstrate the 9 porcelain restorations in place in the upper arch… correcting not only the alignment but the color, symmetry and collapsed arch. The upper front 2 teeth were shortened slightly-the adjacent teeth were created in ideal proportions creating a broader ideal but natural smile.

Six veneers were placed changing the shape of the patient's teeth to rectangular and in doing so correcting the color, size and symmetry . I also eliminated the flaring or protrusion that existed creating a beautiful natural result.
