Teeth can end up straight and still not look the way you pictured. Stony Mountain residents who feel this way live outside the City of Winnipeg, and can raise it at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
Orthodontics changes where teeth sit, but it does not change the shape, size or colour of the teeth themselves. Someone may therefore finish treatment with an even row that still shows small gaps, worn tips or narrow proportions. These are the kinds of details a veneer may be considered for.
Yet if your teeth have drifted since, covering them is not necessarily the answer. Stability of the bite is one of the things under review before any enamel is altered. A Stony Mountain patient in this position can start by finding out which of these issues is really in play.
Explore veneers
Orthodontics addresses where teeth sit, and veneers address how visible surfaces look.
An unsteady bite may need attention before restorations are considered.
Bring yours and ask how it would fit into any cosmetic plan you are considering.
Once you can name what still bothers you, it gets easier to see whether it relates to the form of your teeth or to where they now are.
Details on the tooth surface remain the same after orthodontic movement, which is where a restoration could play a role.
Some concerns have more to do with position, and that would not change simply by covering the teeth.
Sorting a concern into one group or the other is a clinical decision made after you have been seen.
These stages show where your orthodontic past fits into a veneer pathway, and at which points you can step back if you prefer.
Request your visitExplain when treatment ended, what you were hoping for, and what still does not look right to you.
Your current position, bite, shade and proportions are captured by photographs and scans for planning.
Ask whether whitening, bonding, further movement or veneers would make the most conservative change.
If veneers are being considered, the suggested shapes are presented on a model or a screen.
Preparation stays limited to the agreed design, and contact points, fit and colour are checked ahead of bonding.
Knowing roughly when you had treatment and what it involved gives useful background. Compare a recent photo with one from when your braces came off, if you still have it, to see whether anything has moved.
As you would be coming into Winnipeg, ask about the likely number of visits and whether earlier orthodontic records could be useful.
Black chairs at a white desk under a painting, and white chairs by the waiting area window.
After a long stretch of treatment, it can feel strange to admit you still aren’t satisfied. You can describe that plainly. There is no need to justify it before asking what your options are.
If you can’t face a long process again, say so at the outset of your discussions.
Point at the exact tooth or line that disappoints you, as this tends to focus the talk.
You might decide that a small remaining flaw is one you can happily live with.
Holding on to the result
A restoration does not anchor a tooth in place. Keep in mind that position can still shift, and ask how retention and veneers would work together for you.
Find out whether an existing retainer would still fit after treatment, or whether it might need changing.
Mention it if your teeth begin to feel different when they meet, or when your retainer feels tighter.
Examinations and cleanings let someone keep watch on your gums, your margins and any gradual shifts.
Whenever something breaks or hurts sharply, a phone call is the right move and not the request form.

Helpful details about veneers in Stony Mountain.
Ask our teamStraightening changes position and leaves tooth size as it was, so proportions or small spaces can become easier to notice. A dentist can look at whether shape changes would make sense.
That turns on whether the concern is position or shape. Where teeth have noticeably shifted, moving them may be the more conservative suggestion, so ask about both.
They may disguise a minor difference, but they cannot return a tooth to its former position or stop it from moving. Significant relapse usually points towards an orthodontic conversation.
Don’t assume so. A veneer changes the tooth’s surface and offers no retention, so ask what you should wear after treatment.
That is something to clarify when you are assessed. It may depend on whether your concerns seem to relate to tooth position and bite.
