Brief Answer:
Can suit you to reduce the gap.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
I have seen all the attached images. Lumineers are likely to suit you well. These will help in alignment of your teeth as well as allow your teeth to look whiter. However it is less likely to take care of your deep bite.You can consult your orthodontist and get the proper treatment done.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Thanks for the answer . I dont open my mouth prooerly when i takj to people because of my teeth. I used to wear braces when I was in high school, but i wasnt given retainers on time so they returned to that position. Im in the university now, and i just want a quick solution.
If i have the lumineers put on, would they portrude like my teeth as well ? And I have small teeth, when i smile, my upper inscissors dont show :(

Brief Answer:
Protrusion needs braces to correct.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Lumineers is a good option for a quick solution. The lumineers will protrude like your teeth. It will take some time for the gaps to close. The deep bite and the protrusion is difficult to take care of without braces. The smaller teeth can be made prominent with the help of lumineers.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.

Like how much would the dental lumineers cost ?
doctor
Answered by Dr. Dr. Rakhi Tayal (6 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
The cost varies.

Detailed Answer:
On average, Lumineers or traditional veneers can cost anywhere between $800 and $2,000 per tooth, depending on individual cases and needs. Factors that will influence the cost of treatment are case difficulty, size, geography, and more. Only your Certified Lumineers Dentist can truly determine the cost of your case based on your specific needs. Many factors will influence the cost since they can be made from porcelain as well as resin composite materials.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
The mode of payments depends on your specialist.

Detailed Answer:
The mode of payment depends on your specialist. Most of the times one has to pay each time the trays are changed. One time payment can also be arranged. You need to talk regarding this to the concerned assistant.
