Can veneers move my midline back to the centre?+
They can make a slightly off-centre midline look less obvious by reshaping the visible teeth. A midline that is far off usually needs tooth movement, because veneers do not change where roots sit.
Why does my smile look higher on one side?+
Uneven edge lengths, gum levels or lip movement can each create that impression. The examination separates these causes so the plan treats the right one.
Is perfect left-right symmetry the aim?+
Faces are rarely identical on both sides, so the aim is a balanced result that suits yours. A mirror-image smile can look less natural than one with small differences.
Might I need orthodontics instead of veneers for this?+
Possibly. If the imbalance comes from tooth position or the bite, moving teeth may be the more conservative option and could reduce how much enamel would need changing later.
Will treating only one side make the other look worse?+
That risk is why the whole smile is designed together. Seeing a preview first helps you judge whether treating one side alone would look balanced.
