Alexandra traveled from the United States with a clear goal in mind: to resolve the discomfort caused by some of her teeth. During her clinical examination, we identified that her anterior teeth exhibited a condition known in dentistry as vestibularization—a forward inclination of the teeth towards the lips, which can disrupt the natural harmony of the dental arch. This condition is typically corrected with orthodontics, but the process requires time and patience.
Eager for a change, Alexandra opted for veneers with strategic preparations, particularly on her lateral incisor, to achieve a properly aligned arch without the need for braces. While this approach is effective in certain cases, it is essential to highlight that not all dental misalignments can be resolved this way. Each case must be carefully evaluated to determine whether veneers are a viable alternative.


To ensure she was satisfied with the proposed changes, we used a mockup, a temporary model placed over her teeth that allowed her to preview her new smile before committing to the final veneers. This step gave her the confidence to move forward, knowing exactly what to expect from her transformation.



Her treatment plan included lithium disilicate veneers on both upper and lower teeth in BL3, a bright yet natural-looking shade that enhances the smile’s luminosity without appearing overly stark, along with gum contouring on her upper teeth to refine the margins and enhance the symmetry of her smile.
By working closely with Alexandra, we ensured that every aspect of her transformation was tailored to her expectations while preserving functionality and structural integrity.


The final result? A beautifully aligned, naturally radiant smile that complements her features without the lengthy commitment of orthodontics. Alexandra’s journey is a perfect example of how, under the right conditions and professional guidance, veneers can offer a stunning transformation.
